Midi Channel Controls

Each track (instrument) in a song can be individually controlled with Karaoke Sing-n-Burn. Karaoke Sing-n-Burn gives you the power to adjust the volume of individual tracks, completely change the instrument used in different tracks, mute certain tracks, and have a track play back as a solo. All of these controls are found in the Midi Channel Controls portion of the Karaoke Sing-n-Burn window:

Tracks are arranged in Karaoke Sing-n-Burn as a series of vertical bars, set next to one another, running from the left side of the screen to the right:

Mute
The blue button (at the top) gives you the power to mute tracks. Press again to unmute the track.

Solo
Pressing the amber button places the track in solo mode, which mutes all other tracks. This is a great way to monitor what the different tracks sound like all by themselves. For obvious reasons, only a single solo button may be pressed at one time.

Instrument
The instrument button (which looks like a musical note) gives you the ability to change the way this particular track sounds. For example, you could change the piano track in a song to a xylophone, or even to a telephone ring!

Output Level Display
The series of vertical LEDs below the Instrument button light up during playback to indicate the output level for each particular track. More lit LEDs indicate a higher output level. Note that this display shows the output levels as saved in the MIDI file -- the levels will not adjust to reflect changes in the individual track volumes (see below).

Volume Control
Each track's vertical slider allows you to adjust the volume individually for that particular track. Think the piano is too loud? Turn it down! Can barely hear the harpsichord? Turn it up!

Voice Track
The far left track is a bit different - it represents your voice, and is used with the performance function. Once you have recorded a performance, this track works just like the other tracks - you can mute or solo it, and control the volume using the volume slider. The output level display will show you how loud you are both as you are recording, and during playback. Note that you won't be able to use the instrument button to change the 'instrument' of your voice.
