Last minute; version build 4 (coming out soon).    Nov 11, 2002

A brand new module "the recorder" will be added to DMK as of build version 4.
It will allow you to record your voice over your favorite music, and to save the whole in a file .mp3. Share your song interpretations with others. With this module it will also be possible to convert to .mp3 format, all that your PC can play. BladeEnc allows encoding to .mp3 all that DMK will get as music and the DMK recorder gets all that you hear!
Lots of fun in perspective.

The software was again improved by the support of non standard .kar or.mid formats. Indeed, after extensive research, the algorithm was modified, allowing the interpretation of the lyrics of some to .kar and .mid that were incompatible so far.
Not forgetting the functions and the additions announced previously to be included in build version 4:
Full screen option will further increase your visual pleasure while reading the lyrics in the karaoke window.
You’ll be able to import a mid or kar in our editor, make the desired modifications, in the same way that to usually do it you with DMK, then export the whole re-synchronized .mid (with words) or .kar.
A mixing console of MIDI instruments, for the mid or kar formats. It’ll enable you to play your songs by personalizing the instruments you hear. An example of use: a guitarist who accompanies the song without there an audible guitar on the mid or kar. You will do this easily by muting one of the tracks of the .mid via the mixing console.
