The Singing Machine Karaoke Glossary of Terms
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. 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:
A multiplex tape is really three recordings on one tape. Side A, has a stereo recording
of songs without the lead singer. Side B has two mono recordings. The right channel
has a mono recording, which allows you to sing a duet with the lead singer. The left
channel has a mono recording of the same music, without the lead singer. Multiplex
control allows the singer to gradually go from left channel to right channel, thereby
gradually fading out the vocal.
Auto 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:
Key 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 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.
