KantoPlayer allows you to do karaoke on your Mac. It supports almost all karaoke formats: MP3, MIDI, KAR, MP3+G, CDG, KFN, and MP4 video karaoke. It also allows you to record your voice over the song and convert your midi files to MP3 format. The software is free to try, but with a few limitations. The user interface has an efficient layout. Organize and play many types of karaoke media files, including MDC (MidiCo File Format), KAR, MID, MP3, CDG and Zipped MP3+G.
Kanto Karaoke is one of the best Karaoke Player available also for computers with MAC operating system. The MAC version is almost identical to the Windows version with only minor differences that we want to illustrate here. Kanto Karaoke is fully compatible with all macOS versions, Mojave and Catalina 10.15 included!
First of all, download and install Kanto Player on your Mac. Here is the download link:
To install the app double click on the .dmg file and drop the Kanto Player icon in the Applications folder.
Note: If you see this error “KantoPlayer.app can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer” you have to Select the app and right or ctrl-click on it, click on Open and click on Open again to confirm you want to complete the action
Note2: If you see the error “KantoPlayer is damaged and can’t be opened.” it means the issue lies with “Gatekeeper”. The Gatekeeper settings can be found in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. You have to select the option “All apps downloaded from: Anywhere”. The “Anywhere” setting in Sierra is missing and can be restored with a Terminal command: sudo spctl –master-disabl
After the installation, double click on the KantoPlayer.app icon to open it.
The main interface of the app looks like this:
Let’s start with the buttons at the bottom right of the program..
QUICK OPEN button allows you to browse and import a karaoke song from your MAC in KantoPlayer. If you play it you will see the lyrics in the main screen of the app.
DUAL DISPLAY button permits to display the lyrics screen in a new window, useful to display karaoke lyrics on external monitor or TV
SINGERS LIST button allows to create a list for the people who are going to sing for the karaoke
PLAYLISTS
In the same way as the Windows version, at the top right is the Playlists section. To create a new playlist click on the “Add” button and a window like this will open:
Type the name of the playlist in the “Playlist name” field and then click on “Create” button. Once done you will see the playlist created in the relevant section:
Now, in the bottom section “Playlist Files” you can import the desired songs by clicking on ADD button. Thanks to the UP and DOWN arrows you can always move and sort the tracks within the playlists.
Note: The “Free Trial” version of Kanto Player allows you to add max 5 files in each playlist.
LIVE PERFORMANCE
The Live Performance indicates (in real time) the song that is currently playing and those that will be played after. Thanks to the “Live Performance” you can schedule your performance and avoid interruption from one song to the next one..
The Live Performance works like a playlist and you can add songs at any time:
a) From a playlist selecting the song and clicking the Edit > Add to live performance
b) Dragging & Drop files from computer desktop to the Live Performance
c) By clicking to ADD SONG button
If you want to play a new track without abrupt interruptions you can click on the button “FADE OUT AND PLAY NEXT FILE...”
If you want to interrupt a song before the end of the song, avoiding a sudden and abrupt interruption, you can use the FADE OUT AND STOP function.
Note: Kanto Karaoke is the only tool with the crossfade function applied to all multimedia files: mp3, midi, kar and cdg files. To disable the automatic switching from one music to another by default, set the CROSSFADE = 0
AUDIO SETTINGS
At the top left of the program you can find the “Audio Settings” section where you can:
> Change the Key (Pitch) and the Tempo (Speed) of the song
For the songs in the playlist you can also save the desired pitch and speed: just click on the “Save Key and Tempo” button. Doing so, every time that file is played in the playlist, it will have the saved changes of pitch and tempo.
> Manage Midi Channels: by clicking “Midi Channels Config” it opens a window where you can view all midi channels and decide whether to activate / deactivate or simply change the volume.
> Vocal Remover for Midi Songs: by clicking on the MELODY (CH4) OFF button, you can quickly remove the melody (vocal track) from the song. In this way you can sing on a “clean” musical track.
RECORDING VOICE OVER SONG
To start recording your voice on a song, here are the 3 simple steps to follow:
NOTE. Connect the microphone to your MAC and restart the program and verify that your microphone is displayed in the Input devices.
1. Input Devices: At the bottom left of the program, from the drop down menu, select your microphone as Device. There may be more devices with the same name, in which case make sure to set the one that is actually installed and active on your computer.
It is recommended to use a dynamic external microphone (with USB input) which surely guarantees a better recording quality and a lower latency.

During recording you can also change the input volume (microphone) or the volume of the track (Music Volume), or add the Reverb effect.
Another important and exclusive setting of Kanto is the MIC DELAY which allows you to remove the delay that you will inevitably notice between the voice and the music. In fact you can decrease or increase this value until you get the perfect sync between voice and music in the output file.

To get the best quality, we recommend doing several tests until you get the optimal volume and delay values for your voice and recording!
The settings of Input and Music volumes only take effect if you change them during a recording.
While recording, you will not hear your voice from the speakers (it is not recommended to avoid the voice feedback issue).
NOTE: The Free Trial version of Kanto Karaoke allows recording of up to 1 minute (60 seconds).
EDIT MENU
From the program menu, clicking on the “EDIT” item will appear these options:
Crossfade:the default value is 3000 msec and is that effect of fading that allows you to move from one track to the next one gradually. You can change this value between 0 and 5000 msec.
AutoPlay: By setting the AutoPlay to the value “NO”, the song will arrive until the end and the next song will NOT start automatically. Also new songs added in the Live Performance will NON start playing automatically.
