M-Live Merish5+ PLUS Audio and MIDI Player

Multitrack Audio Files (MTA)

MTAs are MP3 audio files created by M-Live. They include the audio tracks of the project, the lyrics, chords, and markers of the song, the (muteable) track of the melody in instrumental form.

You finally have the ability to edit the audio backing tracks, vary the volumes of the individual tracks, the pitch, and tempo of the music base. You can switch from one point to another in a song or from one song to another. You can act surgically on every aspect of the performance.

Live Grit and Prompter

Two great new features of the Merish5+ PLUS are the unique included plug-ins that interact with the Android or iOS Apps. With Prompter you can view lyrics and chords remotely: perfect for managing multiple locations on stage via smartphone or tablet. Grinta Live allows the audience to interact with you live: browse the music repertoire on the Merish5+ PLUS via smartphone or tablet, send requests and read song lyrics or book yourself for live karaoke.

Xynthia OS

Within Merish5 resides Xynthia, an operating system developed by M-Live over three years of research. Xynthia allows you to simply and quickly manage large music archives, directly browse websites dedicated to music, and download music files from the Web.

Thanks to Xynthia, Merish5 is a powerful sound generator that can also be controlled from a USB master keyboard, with optimized MIDI sound. You can enjoy multitasking various work sessions, and the expanded digital mixer section with controls for mixing and EQ parameters, along with many other features to discover while using your Merish5.

The New Sound of Merish5

Merish5 includes all the sounds that were present in previous versions, but many of them have been reworked, resampled, and optimized thanks to Merish5+ PLUS sporting ten times the internal memory. Merish5's sound database is up to the demands of those who need to perform professionally live.

On the Web in a Few Simple Steps

For those who like to have high-level backing track archives of any genre, Merish5 is the ideal tool. With Xynthia OS, Merish5 is able to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Android device, to browse through the archives of www.songservice.it.

Downloading backing tracks is very fast, and thanks to AllSongs subscriptions you will have access to a repertoire of thousands of backing tracks in MIDI or MP3, constantly updated by M-Live. Even without going through the computer, the available repertoire is immense and high quality.

Digital Mixer

Merish5+ PLUS has a powerful digital mixer, dedicated to those who want to play live without complications:

• Two XLR-1/4" combo mic/line inputs
• Two 1/4" line inputs
• Two adjustable channels with dedicated faders for mic/line inputs
• Click output for metronome, Spy, or headphone output
• Stereo 1/4" line outputs
• HDMI video output
• RCA aux output
• 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O and USB MIDI
• Four USB-A ports

Mixer Management

The mixer is managed by powerful and flexible software, from which all sound sources can be equalized freely, and effects, volumes, output routing, and much more can be adjusted. Further controls include 3-band parametric EQ, master 10-band EQ, and numerous effects including a compressor, noise gate, voice harmonizer, and more. Effects can be applied to the mic inputs and to two MIDI backing tracks.

Editing Backing Tracks

Merish5+ PLUS can edit any parameter on the backing tracks, and can write and synchronize lyrics within songs. It can also handle markers and chords in various formats, even when superimposed on the lyrics.

The Sounds

Merish5+ PLUS contains over a gigabyte of sounds, which numerically translates to over 500 timbres, 50 drum kits, and hundreds of percussion instruments. In addition to this sound archive, M-Live has prepared 70 patches that can be played by a master keyboard and directly powered by Merish5+ PLUS.
