Post by DrKewel »

Is there anyway to upload midi files that contain chords and lyrics? or Add lyrics to midi files?

Yes - You can import .kar files with lyrics already embedded, you can also add lyrics via a .TXT file.

Check page 226 in the Performance Manual for more info.

There is a free program PSRUTI that lets you add lyrics.

I haven't tried this program. Curious, will lyrics scroll with the MIDI Player?

Hopefully, yes (it works fine on the PA4x)

PSRUTI is primarily intended for Yamaha arrangers (XG), but it has some functions that will help when creating a standard GM MIDI protocol. One of these is lyrics input in MIDI.
The latest version 8.2.1 of PSRUTI for lyrics input has an additional tool that did not exist before. Check out the video on my channel where I describe how to add lyrics to MIDI. After that, the text will be displayed without problems in a player like VanBasco and on all keyboards that support this option.
