Merik 0.7.2

Merik for macOS is now signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without the right-click and Terminal steps. The program itself is the same as in 0.7.1.

What's new

  • macOS: signed and notarized. Open the DMG, drag Merik onto Applications and start it. macOS may ask once to confirm that the app was downloaded from the internet. The xattr command is no longer needed.
  • Windows installer (from 0.7.1): Merik-0.7.2-windows-x64-setup.exe. It is not code-signed yet, so Windows may warn.

Install

macOS

  1. Download the file for your Mac: Merik-0.7.2-arm64.dmg (Apple silicon, macOS 14 or later) or Merik-0.7.2-intel.dmg (Intel, macOS 15 or later). Open it and drag Merik onto Applications, then start it.

Windows (64-bit)

  1. Download and run Merik-0.7.2-windows-x64-setup.exe and follow the installer. It installs for your own account and needs no administrator rights.
  2. The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
  3. If there is no "Run anyway" button, SmartScreen is set to block: open Windows Security, App & browser control, Reputation-based protection settings and set Check apps and files to Warn (or Off).
  4. If Windows 11 blocks it with Smart App Control (no "Run anyway" either), open Windows Security, App & browser control, Smart App Control settings and choose Off. On some Windows 11 versions Smart App Control cannot be turned on again afterwards.
  5. Allow Merik on private networks when Windows asks, to use the lyrics and remote control web page.

The Windows build is not code-signed yet (code signing is planned), so these warnings can appear.

On all systems, choose a General MIDI SoundFont (.sf2) under Settings → Soundfont. Merik does not include one. MatrixSF_v2.1.5.sf2 and MS_Basic.sf2 are good free options, but any General MIDI SoundFont works.

Known limits

  • merik.local, port 80 and rendering with the internal SoundFont have been tested on macOS only. Some Android devices cannot resolve .local names; use the IP address there.
  • A .merik of 4 GB or more cannot be made. Transpose is not available for songs with stems. Linux is not supported yet.
