Pitch control in either mode was pretty good so you can do manual or auto beat matching. Most importantly you can now access all of those lovely built-in FX so you can decide which ones are worth using (some) and which are not (plenty). Whereas in midi mode the knob controls the software, in CD mode it is used for track navigation either on CDs or USB. You can track a variety of information to help enhance every set. Making the switch to CD mode is easy and immediately gives you access to plenty of information displayed on the touchscreen. When in Midi mode, you will not be allowed to use the effects integrated into CDMP-7000, but rather only those mapped by the software. Some software like Traktor, is meant to work well with its own hardware and tends to work not quite as well on other equipment.ĭJing using software won’t allow you to control the mixer since this is an analog device, not a digital one. Keep in mind though that different software will get different results. Using this DJ controller with software enhances certain features like HID mapping and jog wheel performance. Since the Gemini CDMP-7000 has both software and DJ capability, let’s talk a little about how each mode works. Complete with mic and headphone jacks and RCA outputs, this little machine has plenty of features to get the party started or DJ your first gig. There is a three channel mixer (analog) with 3-bad EQ on each channel. You’ll get 6 variable pitch control settings and BPM functions that include auto and manual controls.Įach side of the CDMP-7000 has USB ports and SD card clots and an USB Midi out so that your decks can also be used as a software controller. The midi DJ controller plays several different file formats including AAC, WAV, MP3 and AIFF. The CDMP-7000 offers the mobile DJ as well as the home DJ tons of features to do a good job no matter the venue. It comes with 2 CDJ media players, a DJ mixer, 5” jog wheels, complete with VFD displays. While this midi DJ controller looks like it belongs in front of world famous DJs, the buttons, knobs and wheels are clearly labeled and user friendly. The unit has a metal chassis with an hard plastic casing to keep damage to a minimum for the always on the go mobile DJ. The CDMP-7000 has a nice and workmanlike, if standard, design. Recently I got a chance to view this baby up close and I decided to put my thoughts here for you to review. It acts as a DJ controller and also takes advantage of DJ software. This unit is billed as a professional media workstation that is marketing to all types of mobile and home-based DJs.
