Kar2Midi

Kar2Midi is a command-line application whose purpose is to turn karaoke Midi files (KAR format) into Midi.

It comes packed with a few settings for advanced users which can be seamlessly configured.

While most users prefer working with graphical interfaces for performing basic and complex operations, some would rather type a few lines in a Command Prompt dialog to get the job done quickly.

Kar2Midi does not require installation, as all you have to do is extract the program files to a custom location on the hard disk and call the application from a Command Prompt window.

It is also possible to save Kar2Midi to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort.

What's more, the tool does not add new entries to the Windows registry or create extra files on the hard drive without your consent.

Apart from initializing a conversion procedure by pointing out the source and output file (in the same directory as Kar2Midi), you can generate Cakewalk 4 or newer compatible Midi with lyrics, as well as produce Tune 1000, Farfisa and Cakewalk 3 compatible Midi with lyrics.

There are no other options available through this application. Unfortunately, batch processing is not supported, so you can process only one audio track at a time.

As expected, Kar2Midi is very low-demanding when it comes to CPU and RAM, so it does not affect the computer's overall performance. We have not come across any issues throughout our tests, since the app did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Kar2Midi serves its purpose.
