One of the hottest contemporary forms of entertainment today
is Karaoke participation by members of an audience. With player piano
technology, musical accompaniment has made the entertainment form so accessible
for almost any participant. No more is there concern that the music
accompaniment is too high or too low for a participant, as the instrument
technology allows on the spot transposition of the musical key to match the
participant's voice range.
A continuous display of words appear on the screen with a moving marker above each word or syllable to guide audience participation.
A great percentage of music files for Karaoke are encoded with words, and sometimes music score and words, to be displayed on a computer screen or TV screen or projected by a video projector. This gives support to an audience for sing-along events or even the Karaoke participant.

Features of Voice Effects
One of the most unique features is the capacity to
incorporate a microphone through the player instrument system for the vocalist.
Through a voice effects menu, you can select the gender and group size of a
backup group to sing along with you. The microphone will use the performer's
voice and words to create the voices for the backup group. This could be a duet,
trio, quartet or other group such as ladies group or men's group or kids group
and others that will sing along with the performer. Harmony structure is
controlled by the player instrument's ability to analyze the music chord
structure. And the back up group is on pitch, regardless of the melodic
variance of the participant vocalist. It can really make you sound
professional. This same setup can be used to change the gender of a vocalist on
a player piano recorded file.
Recording on CD Features
And if this performance is worthy of archiving, the player
instruments can record the entire performance and produce a CD for future
replay of the event.
