Larry, thanks for providing the kar to 'MIDI' link. btw: Looking forward to seeing you in April at the East Coast Synth jam. - Scott

Larry,

Thanks for the MidiCVT link. We learn new stuff every day!

However, these are the steps to running the KarCrusher program.

1. First make sure you are running Windows XP.
2. Extract the zip file into a new folder say D:\Kar
3. You will get the executable KarCrusher.jar plus a bunch of Java Class files *.class
4. Open up a command window - | Start | Run | cmd
5. Change directory to D:\Kar
6. Run this command

D:\Kar> java –jar KarCrusher.jar

This will open up the KarCrusher program window.

| File | Open - select the Kar file you wish to convert

You will get a lyrics displayed as text. Here you are free to modify the text.
| File | Save As…|

The program lets you save the Kar file to a Type 0 MIDI file with a .mid extension.

Tapas....Thank you for posting the information on changing the karaoke files to midi, I must be dumb in my old age, I just can't seem to do it correctly...the program sayes that it has changed the file but when I try to use the file it doesn't work..it the program writting over the file or saving it somewhere else that I don't know about...
I tried to get help from the help file, but the file is in German or French...Help Please

Use the Midi CVT program http://www.mrfreefree.com/free_software/free_karaoke_software.html

Load .kar file on left
Convert and save to type 0 midi file on right.

Now the lyrics will display on your keyboard.

Uh oh....I mentioned midi...sorry Dave!

Thasnks again for posting however, I can change the midi, now I can't download it to a 3.5 floppy....my 5 year old son knows more about computers than I do....

Not to state the obvious, but did you right click on the file and click on "Save File As.." ?
t.

Tony....Yes I did, I have the changed files on my hard drive but when I try to download them onto a 3.5 floppy they won't take, a window comes up saying...floppy disk controller reports an error not reganized by the driver....I know not what this means nor do I know how to correct it..Help

Tony ... sorry, but you're going to have to get help from someone better than me ...
