On the stars’ stage .
INIMITABLE
M-Live has produced Backing Tracks and manufactured Equipment for live music since 1987 In 1998 it launched the
rst Merish, a highly innovative unit that represented reference point for MIDI players manufactured by other companies
after that date. Twelve years later, M-Live proposes a new version of Merish, exploiting over twenty years of experience
in the MIDI, Audio and DSP Technology elds, as well as in the production of Digital Music in various formats.
SIMPLE & POWERFUL
The Merish you will discover is an easy Player to use, with no limits as far as compatibility and music formats are
concerned, but at the same time has very powerful functions and essential ergonomic lines. We’ve tried to
produce what you musicians have always wanted: A machine that’s powerful but simple and reliable.
NEW SOUNDS
We’ve taken great care with the creation of the sounds and the conguration of all the Audio parts. In this work,
we were helped by our twenty years’ experience as producers of MIDI Files and a proprietary library of over
10,000 titles. The sound generation of the Merish is entrusted to two powerful DSP able to play two MIDI Files
simultaneously, with 32 channels and 108 voices.
WIZARD PLAYLIST
Merish plays and mixes music les in MIDI or MP3 format. With the MIDI Files, the mixing can be done “from” and “to”
any point in the songs, with various connection modes: immediate or mixed with various cross-fade curves. Merish
identies the musical phrases of the MIDI songs and connects them like a DJ/arranger would. The Playlists are created
in real time: it’s sufcient to choose the Next Song and Merish will mix the song it is playing with the following one.
LIVE MIXER
All the audio levels are easily adjustable directly from the panel, via physical controls: main volume, volume of the
MIDI backing track, volume of the Mp3 backing track, microphone volume and volume of the individual sections
of the MIDI File. It is also possible to select the type and amount of effect on the voice. The Microphone and Audio
section has a digital Mixer to adjust all the parameters of the Voice and the Backing Tracks. The channel
Microphone has two separate effects, a dynamic compressor and a 4-band equalizer.
SONG OPTIMIZATION
Merish plays the majority of digital music formats on the market: Mp3, Mp3 karaoke, MIDI, General MIDI, MF3,
MF4, MF5, Kar. To obtain the utmost from the functions, it is advisable to use original M-Live backing tracks, which
feature the following characteristics:
zMarkers in the backing tracks.
zExact tested writing of the MIDI events.
zDatabase information (title, artist and genre)
zTested guaranteed les.
zFiles in compliance with the Italian Performing Rights society, as far as both music and Karaoke lyrics are
concerned.
MERISH PC, the software provided, optimizes the les, to make them fully compatible with Merish and take
advantage of the Markers and Database Info.
All original M-Live songs purchased after August 2010 are already fully Merish-compatible,
so therefore don’t require optimization with the MERISH PC Software.
