Meris Mercury X — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

Control the Meris Mercury X from your browser — full MIDI CC reference for 23 parameters, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.

Nitelite gives the Mercury X a full browser-based control surface: turn every knob, flip every switch, describe the tone you want to the AI Tone Terminal, and save the results — all sent to the pedal live over MIDI (default channel 1). Works free in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Knobs

ControlMIDI CCDescription
DECAYCC 33Reverb parameter 1 — function changes per Reverb Structure. Decay (Ultraplate/Cathedra/Prism/Gravity), Dwell (Spring), Mids (78 Room/Plate/Hall).
PREDELAYCC 15Predelay time — twin 2.54s delay lines with 32-bit resolution, expressed in seconds or BPM
MODCC 21Modulation applied to delay lines — linked to front panel Mod knob. Different voicing per Delay Type.
MIXCC 1Balance between dry and wet signal — directly connected to front panel Mix knob
FEEDBACKCC 19Delay line feedback amount — sets feedback for both L and R delays
CROSSFEEDCC 20Cross-feedback between L and R delay lines for cascading delay effects
DAMPINGCC 22High frequency reduction in delay repeats. Behavior varies per Delay Type.
DRY BLENDCC 23Amount of dry signal added to predelay output — recreates traditional predelay feel
PRE BLENDCC 42Amount of predelay reflections mixed in parallel with the reverb tank

Special MIDI Functions

  • Expression — CC 4
  • Bypass — CC 14. When on, the effect is bypassed (dry signal only). When off, the effect is engaged. Per Meris spec: 0–63 = FX bypass, 64–127 = FX enabled.
  • Dry Trim — CC 2. Fine-tune dry signal level relative to mix
  • Wet Trim — CC 3. Fine-tune wet signal level relative to mix
  • Left Note Div — CC 17. Left delay line note subdivision. Off = quarter notes matching blinking Tap LED.
  • Right Note Div — CC 18. Right delay line note subdivision. Off = quarter notes matching blinking Tap LED.
  • Gate Attack — CC 43. Gate attack time — shapes the onset of gated reverb effects
  • Gate Hold — CC 44. Gate hold time — how long the gate stays open
  • Gate Decay — CC 45. Gate decay time — how quickly the gated reverb fades
  • Preamp Gain — CC 7. Gain/volume level for the preamp section. Tube: mid boost gain. Transistor: high frequency emphasis. Op-Amp: broadband boost.
  • Preamp Balance — CC 8. Balance parameter for the preamp section
  • Preamp Level — CC 11. Output level of the preamp effect
  • MIDI Clock — CC 28. Controls how this preset responds to incoming MIDI Beat Clock. 0-42 = Use Global; 43-85 = Force Listen; 86-127 = Force Ignore.
  • Toggle Tuner — CC 117. Activates the chromatic tuner. Send value 127 to engage Tuner mode.
  • Hold Modifier — CC 118. Triggers the Hold Modifier function. Send 127 to press, then send 0 to release. Always send a release (0) after every press.
