HOW TO REPRODUCE A .KAR MIDI FILE
The Midi files with .KAR extension are normally Midi files with the Karaoke words already stored. The .KAR files are however almost always
Standard Midi files in format 1 and therefore need to be converted to format 0 so that they can be reproduced instantly from the hard disk. The
same procedure is required for the Midi files in format 1. The DG100 converts these automatically without needing to know in advance if the
Midi file is in format 1 or format 0. When attempting to load a Midi file or a .KAR file in format 1, using the procedures explained previously, the
DG100 offers two options:
●
conversion of the Midi file for immediate use
●
save the Midi file converted.
