Improved CD+G Import in Karaoke Video Creator and Karaoke CD+G Creator software

Version 2.5.5.1 of Karaoke Video Creator and Karaoke CD+G Creator has improved algorithm for lyrics recognition in CD+G import in Karaoke Software module. With this version our karaoke maker should get the lyrics almost 100% correct for most of the songs. Also it copes much better with CD+Gs that use fancy display modes (eg. from Karafun). We use advanced OCR (Optical character recognition, technology that convert graphics into text) algorithm to make editing CD+G easier and faster.

To import CD+G song select Import CD+G File command from File menu or click Import CD+G File button on the toolbar.

First you need to select file containing CD+G songs. Two file formats are supported — CDG BIN file. If you use CDG file, Karaoke Video Creator will automatically look for MP3 file of the same name and use it as a soundtrack.

If Insert ‘Clear Screen’ events automatically is checked, Karaoke Video Creator will detect when entire screen is erased in CD+G song and will insert ‘Clear Screen’ events at the same places in the imported song. This help to maintain the text flow for page-by-page songs (SoundChoice songs give very good results with this option enabled).

Import process takes a while (up to half a minute on a slower computer). Once it is completed you will see the imported lyrics in the lyrics editor. Please check for spelling mistakes, as some of the characters may be recognized incorrectly.

In this latest update, Version 2.5.5.1 of Karaoke Video Creator and Karaoke CD+G Creator takes your karaoke experience to the next level. Now featuring an enhanced algorithm for lyrics recognition, your Karaoke CDG Machine will deliver almost perfect lyrics alignment for the majority of songs. Whether you’re importing CD+G files or dealing with fancy display modes like those from Karafun, our advanced OCR technology ensures swift and accurate conversion of graphics to text, making editing CD+G files easier and faster than ever before.

Skip Instrumentals in Siglos Karaoke Professional 2.3.1

We are extremely happy to announce another technical advancement of Siglos Karaoke Professional. If you go to Settings / KJ you will find Detect and speed up instrumentals section. With that option you can Skip Instrumentals in Siglos Karaoke Software.

It works for CD+G files only (ZIP format as well). Siglos will scan the file and look for moments that display does not change. In almost all cases these moments are instrumentals like guitar solos. If you would like to skip them, Siglos gives you two options:


1. Fade and skip will gently mute and skip the instrumental
2. Speed-up will fast forward the instrumental part (the quality of the speed up depends on the music)

Using this option can save you time on busy nights when patrons sing Master of Puppets after Highway Star.

You may also fine-tune individual songs in the database to enable instrumental detection only for some of them — you can do this in Edit Song window opened from Song Details or from database window.
