MERIDIAN ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY
OF ITS CORE CONTROL APP FOR iPAD®
Ready for Download from the Apple App Store on Monday 27th February
Meridian Audio has announced that its Core Control App for iPad is available free from the Apple App Store on Monday 27th February 2012. From that date customers will be able to download the App or search the Apple App store for “Meridian Core Control”.
The new Core Control App for iPad ensures that all Meridian Digital Media Systems can be operated almost entirely with the convenience of an iPad, making the Meridian Digital Media experience even simpler to achieve.
The new Meridian Core Control App is a free app for iPad that extends the Meridian user experience from fixed Control devices, such as Control 15, to the iPad, providing a graphically rich, immersive experience when browsing and searching the content on a Meridian Digital Media System.
Meridian Digital Media Systems are designed around the idea of browsing, rather than just displaying a list of tracks. This gives the user a graphically rich, interactive experience, driven by information about music, not files or formats.

Key Points for Editors
- Cover Browser – arrange the graphical display of your music collection by Artist, by Import Date, by Release Date, by Play Count, or to show your favorite internet radio channels. The browser allows you to visualise your entire music library – an experience reminiscent of flicking through album covers, a far superior experience to trawling through lists.
- Focus – This powerful navigation tool enables you to target how you view your collection. Focus on almost any criterion from album info, Genres, Composers and Credits, to Labels, Tags, Moods, and even forensic detail such as quality or when a track was last played. You can also recall previous saved focuses. Meridian Sooloos’ unique and powerful Focus feature allows you to search your collection in a way that better mirrors how we think about our music – without needing to know exactly which album, track or artist.
- Swim – Accessible from any of the main display modes, Swim is Meridian Sooloos’ unique and intelligent function that continually and intuitively selects more tracks and adds them to your Play Queue. Swim helps you rediscover music you had forgotten and providing a truly inspiring experience.
- Select and Edit mode – edit frequently-accessed album details. You can also create and edit album sets. This feature allows you to manage album Genre and Tags while you listen, and while the current album is most in mind.
- Play Queue – is a dynamic list of those albums and tracks that you have chosen to play. From the Play Queue view of your Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System you can manage the order in which your chosen tracks will play. Choose to re-order, remove, replay, loop or shuffle the contents of the Play Queue. You can even save a Play Queue as a Playlist, making it available to listen to again at any time.
- Album Details – places the equivalent of traditional sleeve liner notes in the palm of your hand. Enjoy album artwork, see other related albums – even read online reviews. There is also track-level detail including play count, duration, and Track Pick/Skip status.
- Search – provides instant access to a powerful text-based search facility covering combinations of Album, Artist, and Track detail. Perfect when you know part of the information about what it is you want to listen to.
- Transport and Volume Controls – give you immediate control over what you listening to, and how you listen to it, in any zone of a Meridian Sooloos Digital Media System, providing control of all Meridian Sooloos Source devices.
- Zone Selector – the Meridian Sooloos Core Control App for iPad can control all the zones of your Digital Media System. Use the Zone Selector to choose your zone, link zones, and even transfer Play Queues between one zone and another. Start listening in the living room and take your chosen music with you as you move around the house.
- Explore – browse your music collection in a more traditional, linear fashion, based on specific criteria. Choose to play either albums or individual tracks now, next, or by adding to the current Play Queue.
