Kanto Karaoke Player&Recorder
What it is
Kanto Karaoke Player&Recorder is karaoke software for macOS and Windows, designed for amateur and professional singers. Its Live Performance view shows the current song and what is next, with drag-and-drop song queuing, mixing, and crossfading. It supports MP3, MP3+CDG, WAV+CDG, KFN, MP4, AVI, WMV, KAR, and MIDI files. Users can record vocals over a song and adjust microphone volume, latency, music volume, echo, and reverb. MIDI and KAR files can be converted to MP3, with an option to remove the melody track; SoundFonts and external MIDI devices or drivers are supported for MIDI playback. A built-in browser can play online karaoke songs, and Dual Display can show lyrics on a second monitor or TV while songs are managed on the computer. Free versions limit playlists to five songs and recording and MIDI-to-MP3 conversion to one minute. The personal Standard license costs $49 once, covers one PC, and excludes professional use. Other paid plans list distinct device counts and use terms. Standard and Professional licenses last three years, with updates and priority support guaranteed during that period.
