As with lyrics, you can insert markers in Midi files that
currently have none.
Markers are always present in the Midi files produced by
M-Live and available from www.songservice.it.
You can insert markers by selecting Edit > Edit Marker.
The lines on the left contain the marker name and the box on
the right of the page shows the position of the marker in the
song. Activate the edit function by touching the field to be
edited: you can now write a new marker or move an existing
marker to a different point in the song.
If the song contains no markers simply start it by pressing
Play and then press the physical REC key whenever you
want to enter a new Marker. At this point the backing track
will pause and a window will open showing the available
Markers. Choose the marker you require and press Enter,
or save a completely new marker by selecting “New” at the
bottom of the list of available markers. Now type the name
of the new marker.
As in the Edit Lyrics function, here too you can edit the marker
and change its position by touching the areas associated
with this information.
Merish 3 is also a digital recording device with various
possible uses:
1. Record a live performance and create an Mp3 to give to
the musician or singer.
2. Record a performance to learn a song.
3. Create an Mp3 file from a Midi file format backing track.
4. Record instrumental or vocal tracks on a Midi or Mp3
backing track.
The record function is extremely intuitive and can be
illustrated schematically as follows:
1. Upload the Midi or Mp3 backing tracks over which you
want to sing or play to record the song.

2. Press the “REC” key.
3. Select the sources to be recorded in the Select Source
box.
4. Set up the optional functions in the Recording Setup box.
5. Press the “REC” touch-key or physical key to start
recording.
6. When the performance ends press “STOP REC” (or the
physical “Rec” key). A window will appear prompting you
to confirm that you wish to save the recording. The virtual
keyboard is then displayed so you can write the title of the
file, which will be saved in the Recorded Files folder.
You can then listen to the file created by pressing “Play last
Rec” or “Recorded Files” to open the folder and select the
title from the list.
With Merish 3 you can record one or more of the audio
sources available: the backing track, the Mic 1 and Mic 2
inputs, and the two Auxiliary Audio inputs. You can convert
a Midi File to Mp3 format with the specific “Midi to Mp3”
function.
You can enter a noise gate with the desired levels. The bit
rate of the Mp3 file can be from 128 to 320 kb/s.
