How to load presets on the Meris MercuryX

Back up first, then load your SoundShop presets on the Meris MercuryX with the steps below.

This guide has 4 steps, start to finish. A printable PDF of it is also in every pack download.

The steps

1. Get prEDITOR and the latest firmware

prEDITOR is Meris's free Mac and PC editor for the MercuryX. Click FREE DOWNLOAD on the page below and pick your installer. For firmware, fill out the form on the MercuryX product page. Meris emails it, and the manual shows how to install it.

2. Connect and back up

Use a solid 9V supply (300 mA or more) and connect USB-C or a MIDI interface. Open prEDITOR and choose MercuryX. On the LIVE DEVICE page, click RECEIVE ALL. When it says 99 PRESETS RECEIVED, click OK. Then click SAVE TO LIBRARY to keep a backup.

3. Load the presets

Click IMPORT EXT LIBRARY and choose the .json file in your download's Presets folder. Click LIBRARY ORGANIZER. Set one side to the pack and the other to LIVE DEVICE. Drag a preset onto a slot you are happy to replace and click REPLACE. prEDITOR saves it to your MercuryX. Never use SEND ALL, which overwrites every preset.

4. Test out your new presets

You are good to go! Scroll through your new sounds and see what inspires you. Don't forget to tag the artist on social media if you share something. They would love to hear how you are using their presets.

Questions

Import does nothing?

Select MercuryX in prEDITOR's pedal dropdown. USB-C not working? Update the firmware or use MIDI.
