LOOKING FOR A MUSIC FILE BY
THE “SEARCH”
FUNCTION
The “SEARCH” function is used to quickly look for
a music file either in the internal or external mem-
ory.
When you press “SEARCH”, a half-screen virtual
keyboard appears where you can type the search
terms.
Merish5 looks for the titles, artists or genres that
contain the search terms.
EXAMPLE: If you write “zero” Merish5 searches all
the backing tracks that contain this word in the ti-
tle, artist name or genre.
During the search, Merish5 completely uses meta
events as extended Title, artist and genre but is
also able to perfectly search through backing tracks
that do not contain this information.
In that case, Merish5 finds the desired files using
the “filename” as the only reference.
The tracks produced by M-Live and distributed on
www.songservice.it contain information on title,
artist and genre (meta events).
It is possible to run the “SEARCH” function also
while a song is playing
and book (“ENTER”) or play immediately (“PLAY”)
the next backing track.
The booked backing track is displayed at the bot-
tom of the display.
LOOKING FOR A MUSIC FILE IN A
FOLDER: “SEARCH IN FUNCTION”
With Merish5 it is possible to run a search in an
individual folder.
This icon is shown next to each folder
Touch this icon to bring up the virtual keyboard for
entering the terms of the search.
The search is run only within that specific folder.
LOOKING FOR A MUSIC FILE ON THE INTERNET
The “SEARCH” function can also be used to look for
music files on www.songservice.it. To enable the
search on the INTERNET you need to connect Mer-
ish5 to the Internet, to do so refer to the chapter
“OPTIONS>NETWORK”.
The virtual keyboard that is displayed by pressing
“SEARCH” includes the icon for enabling the search
on the INTERNET.
When enabling the INTERNET search, Merish5
searches the desired backing track on www.song-
service.it as well as on the internal memory.
To use this service you must connect Merish5
to the INTERNET via Wi-Fi, as explained in the
chapter “OPTIONS>NETWORK”, and have a Song
Service credit and/or an active “AllSongs” sub-
scription.
With an active Songnet credit, the backing tracks
you purchase via Merish5 are downloaded and
saved in the “Downloaded Songs” folder in the in-
ternal archive. After downloading they are handled
like any music file in the Merish5 archive, there-
fore they can be played and moved to a new des-
tination.
With an active “AllSongs” subscription the website
www.songservice.it is seen by Merish5 as if it were
an internal archive. The backing track you searched
for and pointed is downloaded in real time and im-
mediately uploaded and ready for playing. The Back-
ing Tracks that are used with an All Songs subscrip-
tion are no longer available when the subscription
is discontinued, but can be played again as soon as
the subscription is renewed.
CREATING AND PLAYING THE PLAYLISTS
A Playlist is a list of songs that are generally played
in sequence.
With Merish5 it is possible to create Playlists, edit
and play them even in automatic sequence.
When you touch the virtual “PLAYLIST” icon you en-
ter the appropriate work environment.
