M-Live Merish 5+ Plus

Merish 5+ Plus: the "Plus" version designed to control a complete show

The Merish 5+ Plus follows the M-Live philosophy: offering a performance-oriented machine capable of reading, organizing, and utilizing a large volume of content for stage musicians, hosts, and event ensembles. With XYNTHIA OS, navigation and track management are designed to minimize handling and secure the flow of a set. The 512GB internal memory allows you to keep a very large library locally while maintaining the possibility to expand and exchange easily via USB, Wi-Fi, or network.

Who it's for and what it's for: stage, hosting, rehearsal, and professional karaoke

The Merish 5+ Plus is aimed at keyboardists, singers, duos, orchestras, and service providers who need a reliable player/arranger to launch accompaniments, manage MIDI sequences, play audio tracks, or display video output for lyrics and karaoke content. Its 7-channel digital mixer and built-in processing make it a practical solution for small setups: you centralize your sources, balance the mix, and adapt your sound to the venue without multiplying devices.

Key features: multi-format playback, integrated mixing, and advanced MIDI control

Library, formats, and versatile playback

Designed to adapt to modern uses, the Merish 5+ Plus supports a wide range of formats, from MIDI files (0-1) and karaoke files to highly compatible audio files, including video and MTA multitrack audio. This versatility allows seamless track transitions without tedious conversion while maintaining clear organization of your media. External devices (USB sticks, hard drives) easily complement the internal memory to transport or back up your sets.

Sound engine and accompaniment resources

With 2 MIDI generators and a total polyphony of 240, the Merish 5+ Plus is built for rich arrangements and stable performances, even when multiple sound layers, tracks, and MIDI events are used. It includes a base of 512 sounds and timbres, 58 drum kits, 659 percussion instruments, and 300 backing tracks, providing quick accompaniment creation or performance enhancement without relying on a computer.

Mixing, equalization, and vocal processing

The mixing is based on a 7-channel digital mixer complemented by a 3-band parametric equalizer. To refine the sound in real situations, you have a separate audio equalizer for each channel as well as a 10-band Master EQ, useful for correcting difficult acoustics or adapting the system to different speakers. Regarding effects, the Merish 5+ Plus offers 2 effects on microphones and 2 effects on MIDI accompaniment tracks, plus essential dynamics tools: compressor and noise gate.

Harmonizer and MIDI control

The 4-voice harmonizer is designed for singers who want to thicken their voice or create musical choirs, with control possible via MIDI file or keyboard. For evolving setups, the expander allows connection to a USB master keyboard, a MIDI accordion, or any other MIDI controller to control parts, trigger changes, and smooth stage performance.

Network connectivity and simplified transfer

Internet connection is provided via Wi-Fi (with included M-Pen antenna) and a RJ45 Ethernet port is available for more stable network environments. File transfer can be done over Wi-Fi or network using Merish5 Manager PC/MAC, convenient for updating a setlist, sending new tracks, and maintaining coherent organization between computer and device.
