"Meridian is what we call a "complex filter array." This isn't because it's hard to use. We take great pride in distilling complexity into a fun and performable user interface. It is a “complex filter array” because it has a harmonious set of features that let you create complex tones and uniquely interesting sounds. It's made to change the sound and tone of audio signals through a cleverly assembled set of features, such as an array of interrelated filter types, filter modes, phase shifting modulation, drive, and bit depth, which all work together to make complex soundscapes and textures.
The name Meridian represents the idea of a meeting point or a convergence of different elements. Filters are often used to blend, shape, and refine different sounds into a cohesive whole. Meridian is often represented through the idea of a barrier or a line that separates parts. This concept mirrors the way the filter delineates different frequencies and aural elements, generating a defined contrast that shapes the overall sound.

"A big congrats to Akai on the launch of the new MPX SE. As a long time X user I was thrilled to join the team on this one. Here is a quick clip of the SE sequencing a Roland System 100m and playing the drums with my OB Rising Expansion drum samples. The new guy is mega tight and even punchier than the regular X. Also the timing of the cv gate outputs is even faster and tighter than before. What a treat. Big ups to my guys Daniel Gill and Andy Mac over at Akai."
"Video Remix of a live recording where I riffed on Suicide's classic song Ghost Rider. Done on my old mostly Synthesizers.com modular synth system, a CGS01 Cat Girl Synth Sub Octave Divider with some clock signals from Logic. The CGS01 does all the heavy lifting!"
