The Singing Machine Karaoke Glossary of Terms
In addition to all of the terminology associated with consumer electronics products,
a few additional termsare used almost exclusivelyin karaoke. Theseterms are meant
to familiarize you withthe world ofKaraoke. The features listed below,may not
necessarily pertain tothe particular modelSinging Machine that youhave. Following
are some briefexplanations:
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 multiplextape is reallythree recordings on onetape. SideA, has a stereo recording
of songs withoutthe lead singer. Side Bhas two monorecordings. The rightchannel
has a mono recording, whichallows you tosing a duet with thelead 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 theAVC functionis activated, the vocalson a multiplex recordingare eliminated
as soon as the singer beginssinging into the microphone. When the singerstops singing.
the vocals on the multiplex recordingare automatically re-activated. This useful function
is used primarily duringpractice sessions while asinger is learning asong. Please note
that theAVC functiononly works with multiplex recordingsand not with standardaudio
recordings.
Pitch Control:
This function controls pitchof music by controlling the speed atwhich a cassette tape
plays back. By increasing the speed ofthe tape, themusic 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 forCompact Disc plus Graphics. You will also see variations CD+G,
and CD+Graphics. This isregular CD with information storedon a data track simultaneous
to music. In laymen's terms,CDG has a video outputfor simple graphics (not fullmotion
video). In thecase of karaoke, the graphics functionis used tostore song lyrics, and
display the lyrics in synch with music. In most cases, CDGsoftware displays lyrics
which change color as they are tobe sung. Aregular television is all that isrequired
to display CDG lyrics.
