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 DJS and certain other DJ software programs.)
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.
DJS Included as an accessory with the MEP-7000, the all-in-one DJ software program “DJS” allows immediate use
of DJ software.
Communication-
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

MIDI-supported DJ
software
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.
