Meant as an affordable way to access Pioneer’s ecosystem, the DDJ-400 has a scheme based on Pioneer’s pro CDJ players and DJM mixers. Not surprisingly, Pioneer’s DDJ-400 is almost the exact size and weight as the SB3, but it has a much different layout and only has 2-deck control. Besides that it follows most of the conventions of a 2-channel, 4-deck Serato controller. The DJ-202, Roland’s little sibling to the mighty DJ-808, weighs about the same as the SB3, and is similar in size but adds more than an inch in vertical length to accommodate its oversize jog wheels. The 2.3-by-19.1-by-10.7-inch/4.6 pound SB3 is easy to schlep around in a modest-size DJ bag or even some civilian backpacks. Reviewed: Roland’s DJ-202 2-channel, 4-deck DJ controller.

Let’s see how they stack up against the leader in their space. A couple of tempting alternatives bring something new to the tabletop: Roland’s alluring DJ-202 offers MIDI connectivity and a built-in step sequencer with TR-style drum sounds and for syncing to Serato DJ Pro, and the Pioneer DDJ-400 brings an NXS2-inspired layout and advanced playback options to a svelte Rekordbox DJ controller. However, there’s never a one-size-fits-all all-in-one.

If you’re in the market for a bargain like that, you may think it’s a done deal. The extremely popular 2-channel, 4-deck Pioneer DDJ-SB3 ($249) for Serato finds that rare ground where a budget-priced all-in-one controller serves high-level DJs’ needs rather than feeling like just a toy. Among these little companions, one currently stands head and shoulders above the rest.
