What is a MIDI Karaoke song file?

MIDI Karaoke files are backing tracks enjoyed by families, friends and singers. Karaoke has its origins in Japan and popular around the world. Karaoke songs were originally recorded with live bands but this has become very expensive. These days, Karaoke songs are derived from MIDI Files and available in many formats like MP3, CD and MIDI Karaoke. Professional musicians and singers can use a MIDI Karaoke or MP3 because they are identical to backing tracks.

A MIDI Karaoke File includes embedded lyrics. The lyrics scroll in time with the backing track. This cueing feature makes it easy for singers to know which part of the song is coming up next and accurately anticipate the start, verses, chorus and ending. Being a MIDI File, a MIDI Karaoke has all the advantages of changing key, tempo, arrangement, mute individual instruments and even instrument selection. These edits can be repeated infinite times and never affect sonic quality of the MIDI Karaoke File.
