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.)

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.
