THESINGINGMACHINEKARAOKEGLOSSARYOFTERMS
In addition to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products, a few additional terms are used almost exclusively in karaoke. These terms are meant to familiarize you with the world of Karaoke. The features listed below, may not necessarily pertain to the particular model Singing Machine that you have. The following are some brief explanations:
Echo:
Echo adds depth and resonance to a singer’ s voice, without affecting the music. This echo is produced by creating minor controlled feedback in the singer’ s voice.
Multiplex Recording:
Our multiplex recordings contain 2 copies of the same song. One version is a stereo recording of the song without the lead singer. The second version is recorded with the music and background vocals on the left channel and the lead singer recorded on the right channel. This ‘split track’ recording allows you to control the volume of the lead singer by adjusting the balance control. You can sing a duet with the lead singer or use the lead singer as a guide as you learn the song, gradually fading them out with the balance control until you are able to sing the song on you own.
Automatic Voice Control (AVC):
When the AVC function is activated, the vocals on a multiplex recording are eliminated as soon as the singer begins singing into the microphone. When the singer stops singing, the vocals on the multiplex
recording are automatically re-activated. This useful function is used primarily during practice sessions while a singer is learning a song. Please note that the AVC function only works with multiplex recordings and not with standard audio recordings.
Pitch Control:
This function controls pitch of music by controlling the speed at which a cassette tape plays back. By increasing the speed of the tape, the music sounds higher (sharp). By slowing the tape speed, the music sounds lower (flat).
Key Controller:
This Controller changes the key of the music (+ or - steps) to adjust to the singer’ s voice.
CDG:
This is an acronym for Compact Disc plus Graphics. You will also see variations CD+G, and CD+Graphics. This is a regular CD with information stored on a data track simultaneous to music. In laymen’ s terms, CDG has a video output for simple graphics (not full motion video). In the case of karaoke, the graphics function is used to store song lyrics, and display the lyrics in synch with music. In most cases, CDG software displays lyrics which change color as they are to be sung. A regular television is all that is required to display CDG lyrics.
CDG vs DVD vs VCD
Your Singing Machine is capable of playing all standard audio Compact Discs and CDG or CD+Graphics discs. CDG is a special type of encoding that includes software for displaying the lyrics on your television. As long as the manufacturer complies with the CDG standard, your Singing Machine will play any manufacturers CDG disc. CDG is different than VCD or DVD. Your Singing Machine will not read VCD or DVD discs.
