Allowing both normal type and manipulator type playing, it represents optimal support for the next generation of DJ performance. With the normal playing style, DJ play can be performed not only with conventional music CDs (CD-DA), but also with music files (MP3, AAC, etc.) recorded on USB storage devices such as USB memory and external hard disc drives (HDD), together with CD-ROM and DVD- ROM. Also, by connecting this player to a computer equipped with the DJ software, this player can be designated as an audio output device, making possible seamless DJ play using not only music contained on USB storage devices and disc media, but also music tracks stored within the computer. The player also features excellent media-support characteristics, making it unnecessary to worry about specific media types, and is provided with a high-function GUI in its center display; together, these features facilitate searching for and selecting desired tracks from large music libraries, and eliminate the need to use the mixer to manually switch between different sources. On the other hand, the control unit continues the tradition of Pioneer s CDJ series of players in its panel layout, functions and operations; by connecting the control unit to your computer (USB bus power), music contained in the DJ software can be played using genuine DJ manipulator style, without the need for mouse or keyboard operations.

108 USING DJ SOFTWARE USING DJ SOFTWARE By loading DJ software to a computer connected to this player via USB cable, the player can be used to operate the DJ software program. Supported DJ softwares Communicationsupported DJ software MIDI-supported DJ software Commercially available DJ softwares supporting the MEP-7000 s dedicated communications protocol can be operated even without the use of a control disc. For latest information regarding supported DJ software, please consult the following Pioneer website: The MEP-7000 outputs data regarding button and TEMPO adjust slider status in universal MIDI format, so DJ softwares with MIDI support can be used to assign the unit s MIDI messages, thus using the MIDI communication for control. Two Styles of Play This player can be connected to a computer using either of the methods shown below. Normal Style The playing setup whereby the MEP-7000 operates with the control unit and drive unit as a set is called normal style. In normal style play, when using a DJ software program, the MEP-7000 s drive unit is connected to a computer via a USB cable. The DJ software program is allocated as a source on the BROWSE screen the same as discs and USB storage devices, and switching between these sources is performed on the unit s center display. By designating the MEP-7000 as an audio output device, it becomes unnecessary to use a mixer to switch between two sound sources, allowing seamless DJ play impossible until now. (Designation of the MEP-7000 as an audio output device is supported only by certain DJ software programs.) USB cable Computer Manipulator Style The playing setup whereby the MEP-7000 s control unit is made to operate as the DJ software program s manipulator is called manipulator style. When the MEP-7000 is used as a manipulator, you can control your DJ software without need for either mouse or keyboard, using the same layout, functions, and ease of operation transmitted from the Pioneer CDJ series.
