Mercury Lite
Mercury Lite gives you the heart of the Mercury piano but with less load for those who have limited resources. Designed to be lighter but retaining full sound and expressive capabilities.
We merged all the mic positions with unity gain, the same sound as when you have all mic positions enabled at 0dB on Mercury Pro.
Get Mercury Lite and you’ll receive an upgrade coupon to Mercury Pro so you only pay the difference. This is a great way of demoing the library before going to the full version, never paying more than the full price.
