Sometimes it is necessary to convert several MIDI Karaoke songs into CDGs. This process cannot be fully automaticated, however PowerKaraoke gives you the possibility to convert a batch of KAR songs without any user intervention. These songs can be opened and edited later to make sure they play correctly. Batch convertion saves time -- you do not have to select the songs and wait till they are recorded as WAV files, instead you choose the songs and let PowerKaraoke convert them all in a single process.
Important: Make sure that your MIDIs are converted correctly using Import MIDI Karaoke Wizard before using this feature.
To convert a batch of KAR songs select Batch MIDI Karaoke Convert command from File menu. Batch KAR Convertion dialog box will appear.
Add the files to convert using Add button. Note that you may add several files at once.
If you would like to remove any of the files, use Remove button.
Output directory points to the directory that will contain all WAV, PKD and CDG/BIN files created during the convertion.
If you do not want to be warned that files are getting overwritten, check Overwrite existing files without prompting.
Checking Create .PKD files makes sure that every song is saved in .PKD document. This option makes possible to open and edit converted files afterwards.
Output type defines if the output CDG song is saved into CDG or BIN file. For more information about CDG and BIN files please see Writing CD+G files.
All CDG tracks are created using the current settings. You may modify it using CD+G Settings command from Master menu.
