USING MIDI FOR COMPUTER CONTROL

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standardized protocol used to govern data transmission between electronic musical instruments and computers.

The MEP-7000 uses the MIDI message format to output its

operating data and status to a computer connected by USB cable. By using a DJ software program with USB MIDI support to assign the MIDI messages output by the MEP-7000, the MEP-7000 can be used to control the DJ software.

For more information regarding messages output by the MEP- 7000, consult the section “MIDI MESSAGE TABLE” (P. 57).

5Press LOAD A (or B) button.

When the LOAD A (or LOAD B) button is pressed, controller A (or B) MIDI messages are output, allowing use of the controller to operate the DJ software. During DJ software operation, the controller appears highlighted in the BROWSE screen.
