Using your CDJ-400 to Control DJS

When you connect your CDJ-400 to your computer, you can control DJS from the 
CDJ-400.
By controlling DJS from your CDJ-400, you can manipulate it with the feel of using a 
DJ player for operations that to date you have done with your computer’s mouse and 
keyboard
Of course all the basic functions, such as play, cue, scratch, tempo control and so on 
can make song selections from the DJS music list using controls like the Rotary dial.
