Kanto Karaoke Player&Recorder is karaoke software for organizing performances, playing backing tracks, and recording vocals on macOS and Windows. Its Live Performance view shows the song playing and what is queued next; performers can add songs by dragging and dropping them. It supports MP3, MP3+CDG, WAV+CDG, KFN, MP4, AVI, WMV, KAR, and MIDI files, with mixing and crossfading for a live lineup. Singers can record microphone vocals over a song and adjust vocal and music volume, latency, echo, and reverb. MIDI and KAR files can be converted to MP3, with an option to remove the melody track, and users can import SoundFonts or select an external MIDI output device. A built-in browser plays online karaoke songs, while Dual Display can show lyrics on another monitor or TV. Free versions are available, with limits on playlist size and recording; paid plans start at 49.00 USD once.
