Version 2.02 released today!
18th March 2009: Pioneer continues to increase the functionality of its
already mega-versatile MEP-7000 multi-entertainment player and SEP-C1
software entertainment controller and today announces the arrival of a
new firmware upgrade – Version 2.02.
This free upgrade provides the added advantage of enabling users to
locate individual files amongst the vast digital music libraries employed by
DJs. So, to be certain you will always find the track you want, exactly
when you want it, the MEP-7000 can now conduct speedy keyword
searches using the artist or title ID3 tag fields. These searches can be
carried out by using either the MEP-7000’s scroll wheel or by connecting
an external USB keyboard. To utilise the search feature, it is first
necessary to create a library database. This may be achieved by using
the MEP-7000, although it is faster to use a PC software application to
read the USB drives and generate the data library file that is required for
the keyword search to function. With library mode activated, simply
inputting the text allows you to make searches, while the intelligent GUI
displays your results clearly on the 4.3-inch LCD.
‘Essential for all users, this update is an incredibly valuable and
timesaving addition to the MEP-7000 player,’ says Ian Jordan, Pioneer’s
European Technical Support Manager. ‘The actual track search process
is very logical and straightforward – with massive benefits for any
working DJ.’
The new firmware is also a bug fix upgrade for the SEP-C1, plus it
improves the MEP-7000’s compatibility with third-party software
applications. Virtual DJ and Serato*1 (Version 1.9), for example, now join
Pioneer’s own DJS by providing native USB-HID support for improved
hardware/software performance. The firmware furthermore extends
compatibility to the Pacemaker DJ system, so you will even be able to
organise/prepare your set in a Pacemaker.
*1 Serato: Operation of this software still requires the connection of
Serato hardware.

This makes the unit sooo much easier to use. Love using mine now :o
Anyone at the SEDA AGM would have seen this in use on my unit!
