Playlists are lists of songs to be played automatically in
sequence by Merish 3. Playlists can function with Autoplay
mode ON / OFF. With Autoplay ON, the songs will be played
in automatic sequence without pause; with Autoplay OFF, at
the end of each song Merish 3 pauses and will only proceed
with the next song in the Playlist when you press PLAY.
Autoplay mode is selected in the PLAYLIST environment by
touching the associated box, or from SETUP > PLAYLIST &
CUE > AUTO PLAYLIST.
Touch “Playlist” to enter the Playlist environment.
Here you can choose a previously created playlist and play
it by pressing PLAY, or you can create a new playlist by
pressing “NEW PLAYLIST”.
1. Touch “New Playlist”.
2. Type the title of the new playlist and touch “OK”.
3. The Playlist edit page will appear on the screen.
4. You can now browse the archive of songs stored on
Merish 3 using the Search functions and various controls
such as the Alpha Dial. When you find a song to include
in the new playlist press “Enter” and the title will appear in
the upper window. Continue in this manner until you have
completed the playlist.
5. You can now edit the playlist by touching the top of the
page. You can delete a song or move it using the “Move”
key.
Select the song in question, touch “Move” and turn the
Alpha Dial. When you have positioned the song correctly,
press “Enter”.
6. Once you have finished creating the Playlist press ESC or
Exit Edit.
The new playlist has now been created and is ready to play.
If you delete or move one of the songs in the playlist in the
Merish 3 internal memory, it will no longer be played and will
be highlighted red in the playlist.
Playlists are stored in the Merish 3 internal memory. Songs
should be copied from the USB pen drive if you want to
include them in playlists.
The playlists of earlier versions of Merish (Plus, Basi and
Merish 2) are compatible with Merish 3.
Merish 3 can mix Midi files and Mp3s continuously, with
perfect musical synchronism. This is possible thanks to a
sophisticated algorithm that analyses the backing tracks and
chooses the best points at which to mix them, together with
the Cross Fade curves and the BPM tempo. This function is
active in “Wizard” mode on the DJ page.
1. Press the physical DJ key.
2. Touch Wizard to activate the wizard.
3. Select “Short” if you want to execute only part of the song
in automatic play mode.
During execution of a playlist you may not want to play the
songs in full.
With “Short” active Merish 3 will automatically shorten the
songs in accordance with the Short Time settings, which
can be edited in SETUP > PLAYLIST & CUE.
