Pioneer MEP 7000 firmware update

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

Anyone at the SEDA AGM would have seen this in use on my unit!

Nice to see Pioneer catching up with Cortex in this department.

How did I know you'd pop up with a Cortex comment

Uhhm, that's interesting...now it's got the keyboard function I might have to get another demo.


I take it it'll be at NADJ AGM in April?

As far as I'm aware Pioneer are there, but if not, I'll have mine with me on the Deckstand Booth stand anyway.

Sounds like a plan Adam, i'll speak to my driver when he's back from Amsterdam

As much as I like visiting you at HTF it always turns out very expensive
