Introducing Grinta, Karaoke for the iPad
M-Live has created an app that turns your iPad into a complete karaoke machine, capable of playing MIDI* (by connecting an iPad compatible external sound module) files with text, MP3 with text, and the popular format MP3+G. With Grinta Karaoke your iPad becomes a constant companion for both professional performances and pleasant moments of leisure with family and friends.
Grinta Karaoke has 5 main sections:
Karaoke
The Karaoke section shows the text of the song being played in full screen, and is always visible by switching all the other functions to half screen.
Library and Playlist
Playlists are very easy to create and edit, and they are open to all your needs. You can place both MIDI and MP3 files, with no limit to the number of songs, by searching by Title, Artist and Genre.
Editing
Available in the PRO version
Editing on Grinta lets you act on any parameter of the MIDI tracks that make up a song: you can change volume, effects, instruments, sound parameters such as resonance, envelope, and many others.
Mixer
Available in the PRO version
The Mixer section allows you to quickly change the mix of the song: 6 sliders connected to the various sounds that make up the arrangement are immediately active, in addition to the Solo and Mute buttons.
Chords
Available in the PRO version
The Chords section is really innovative because on Grinta chords can be viewed in 4 different modes:
Piano, Guitar, Text and Live Keys.
And the backing tracks?
You can import from your personal library all the backing tracks you want: Grinta Karaoke is able to play MIDI, MP3 and MP3+G files from your computer. So if you have an archive of backing tracks on your computer you can sync Grinta Karaoke via iTunes and the entire repertoire will be transferred from the computer to your iPad.
*NOTE: To play MIDI files, the iPad must be connected to an iPad compatible external sound module via the Camera Connection Kit and a USB cable. MP3 and MP3+G files can be both played directly from iPad or using a compatible external sound module.
