Roland Offers DJ-808 / Serato Promotion

DJ-808 + Serato limited-edition TR-808 vinyl pressing & DVS expansion pack

Los Angeles, CA, August 14, 2018 — Roland is currently running an exclusive promotion, whereby any U.S. customer who purchases the flagship Roland DJ-808 will receive a limited-edition TR-808 Serato vinyl pressing, a highly collectible double-pack release featuring 808 beats from legends Just Blaze, Marley Marl, Machinedrum, Egyptian Lover, DJ Qbert, Salva, and more. This stunning three-color vinyl includes 15 rhythm tracks and four locked grooves on one side, and control tone on the flip for use with Serato’s Digital Vinyl System (DVS). Serato’s DJ Pro DVS Expansion Pack is also included at no charge with the vinyl, extending a $150 total value to all Roland customers who purchase DJ-808s during the exclusive promotional period. With its phono inputs, standalone mixer capability, and pro-grade crossfader, the DJ-808 is perfectly suited for use with the TR-808 pressing either playing the 808 rhythm tracks or using the control tone to manipulate music in a Serato library. Personally created beats can be added with the DJ-808’s TR-909 / 808 / 707 / 606 hardware drum machine to maximize the performance potential and connection to Roland’s rhythm legacy. The TR-808 beats can be experienced first-hand here as DJ Babu and J.Rocc from Beat Junkies take the limited-edition vinyl and DJ-808 controllers for a spin at Beat Junkie Institute of Sound. DJ-808 / Serato promotion redemption form can be found here. The offer is good on new products purchased through September 30, 2018, through an authorized Roland U.S. dealer.
