M ID I MO DE
The MDJ-1000 has MIDI mode, which allows the data
from the buttons and dials of the MDJ-1000 to be
encoded into MIDI format. If the unit is connected via
a USB cable to a computer with MIDI-compatible DJ
software, the DJ software can be operated from the unit.
The computer audio can also be played from the MDJ-
1000's outputs.
It may not be possible to use some buttons to operate
the DJ sofware. For a list of MIDI messages refer the the
MIDI Device Messages Table.
NOTE
For instructions for your specific DJ software's
settings refer to your DJ software's operating manual.
HID MOD E
In addition to MIDI, the MDJ-1000 also uses HID protocol
which allows greater speeds.
If your software supports HID devices, disable MIDI de-
vices in your software, and search for HID devices. This

HID device.
