Save the downloaded installation file to a CDROM before or after installing it. Then you will have this current version in the future. We suggest you use Notepad and copy/paste your Registration Code and save it in a .txt file. Then save this to the CDROM also.

Versions

4.107 Released August 29, 2007

1. Add Progress Bars on Export File - You can now see the progress as the file is being created on the hard drive.
2. Added Menu Bar Manual Command - We are making this change in all MTU programs to insure everyone can find and use the Manual. The Read Manual command was removed from under the Help menu.
3. FIXED Bug In Running KHPro From Microstudio 4.001 - KHPro would run from the Desktop Icon, but not from the KHPro menu item in Microstudio 4.001. This is fixed.

4.106 Released March 7, 2007

1. Upgraded to Run with Windows Vista and New Laptop Computers - We needed to upgrade the Installation program to run with Vista. All is reported working fine.

4.105 Released August 3, 2006

1. Export to KMA... command - This new command allows exporting KMA format flies to use in Hoster, Hoster Lite, and Microstudio 3.000. These files take about one-tenth the size of .BIN files due to using WMA 128Kb compression on the audio in the file, which sounds great evey with 3,000 watt speakers. The lyrics and graphics are embedded with the audio in the single KMA file. A dialog allows adding the Title and Artist names. An Advanced dialog also allows adding Brand, DiscID, Track, BookID Root, Language and Genre, using the dropdown lists provided from our Hoster Import Database for these items. Track and BookID Root automatically increment always. You can enter any BookID and Track number you want, up to 3 digits and 2 digits for Track, and the next exported KMA song will increment these (BookID Root only increments when Track is 99 and rolls back to 1).
2. Export to BIN... - This command was titled Export to CDG. The MTU CDG file format has been discontinued because of conflicts with MP3+G with its .mp3 + .cdg files. We now fully support the standard BIN format, which is identical to the MTU CDG file format, but known and useable by other programs, including Microstudio.
3. Adjust Loop Play - Loop play is now always enabled because it makes it easier to adjust the lyric highlighting. Its check box is gone.
4. Redesigned Adjust Lyrics Screen - We made this feature easier to understand and use. The Advanced button is now called Define Area to Play, and has more instructions and graphics.
5. Check For Updates - We changed the command name and the URL to http://www.mtu.com/upgrades/khpro.htm to be compatible with improvements we are making at our web site for downloading.
6. Auto-Fillin Registration Data - All MTU products now remember your Registration Code and Email, and share the common registration data so you only have to enter it once for all programs.
7. Install Error Messages - Various error messages now can appear from our web scripts to guide you if something is wrong while registering. Also, in 4.103 and prior, if you entered the wrong Registration email address, it would show "Your Internet connection...", which was the wrong message. The correct message now appears. This has greatly simplified installation for everyone, reducing the need to contact MTU or our Forums for help.
8. Newest Security - Our latest security now allows more flexibility to upgrade your computer and have KHPro still run within registering again.
9. Installs And Runs Only on Windows 2000 or XP - Due to the newer features added that require the newest Windows direct-x versions, 4.105 and higher only run on Windows 2000 or XP Home/Pro because Microsoft did not make these new features available in ME or 98SE.
10. Removes Prior Versions - The new installation program now removes all prior KHP and KHPro versions from 1.000 to 4.103, then installs the new 4.105 version.
11. Changed version to 4.105.

4.103 Released December 17, 2003

1. Note - With version 4.103, Karaoke Pro 4.xxx series has been renamed back to Karaoke Home Producer for MTU reasons.
2. Uses Improved Installation Program with Registration Code - We have upgraded our installation program to be easier to install with our new Web based registration. It does require the installing computer either be connected to the Internet, or have a floppy drive. if the computer is not Internet connected, the installation automatically allows you to create a floppy disc to complete the registration on a second computer that is Internet connected. You then install the registered floppy disc back to the first computer to complete installing KHP on it. During installation, if you click the Modify or Repair buttons instead of the suggested Repair button, a new progress bar appears while your record is updated at our web site. If you are not on-line this will not prevent installing.
3. Does Not Use Network (Ethernet) Card for Security - Version 4.103 no longer requires a Network card or port. This greatly simplifies the installation. Those who are using a USB Network card to run 4.008 on multiple computers, one at a time, will no longer be able to do this. However, we are allowing KHP 4.103 to install on two computers that YOU OWN. If you give your Registration Code to someone else, you violate our End User License Agreement and you will end up paying for it.
4. No New Features Were Added - KHP 4.103 functions identically to KPro 4.008. If you don't want to upgrade, keep using your existing version until we do add new features, or upgrade to Karaoke Pro 1.0xx when it is released. We needed to replace the 4.008 MACID security with our new Registration Code security to make installation much easier.

4.008 Released February 14, 2003

1. NOTE: With version 4.008, Karaoke Home Producer was renamed to Karaoke Pro.
2. Adjust Lyrics Screen - This new screen allows you to adjust the synchronization placement of each lyric word to the music so it is perfect to your eyes. This screen is accessed by the Adjust Lyrics button.
3. Edit Lyrics Screen - This screen now allows you to edit the lyrics after you have placed the words to the music so they highlight in sync. This is a MAJOR upgrade added in 4.008.
4. Unicode 2-byte TrueType Font Support! - KPro 4.0 allows any 1-byte (normal) or 2-byte Unicode (Japanese, Taiwan, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, etc.) font.
5. Menu commands - We have added a Menu bar at the top of the screen. Each Menu holds executable commands or selectable options. Some of these were separate buttons in version 3.100 and earlier.
6. Create, Save, Restore, Edit Projects - Everything for a song stores in a .kpr project file. This includes settings, the edited Lyrics, and the synchronization placement to the music. Saved projects can be opened to adjust and edit at any time, then create a new version of the CDG song.
7. Ease of Use - MTU is known for our easy to use software. KHP 4.008 is even easier to use than KHP 3.100 was, yet has more editing and other new features. We are the leader in Karaoke software and have 34 years proven experience in listening to our users, making our products easy to understand and use, developing over 130 products, and making the software work correctly. We have been working on KPro for years now and the next upgrade will be unequalled and keep the competition out in the cold... where they have been in relation to our superior products.

3.100 Released June 26, 2002

1. Translate Graphic Image Colors - The colors in an imported graphic image are changed to the closest CDG Karaoke Player colors so they will appear correctly in your CDG Karaoke songs.
2. Color Dithering of Graphic Images - When a graphic image has more than 10 colors, it can now be dithered down to 10 in a way that makes the image still look very much like the original, which it did not in 3.010.
3. Import BMP, JPG, GIF, TIF, PNG Image Files - More graphic formats have been added that you can import into the Title, Lyrics or Credits areas.
4. Totally Rewritten Player Code - The play routines from Microstudio, Karaoke Pro, and Karaoke Home Producer have been totally overhauled and all known problems removed.
5. Added Checking in Place Lyrics Button - In 3.010 if you had placed the lyrics and accidentally clicked the Place Lyrics button again, you would instantly undo the entire song. Now, if one ormore words have been placed to the music, a message box appears when you click the Place Lyrics button, with instructions to cancel or continue and redo the song from the start.
6. Manual Upgraded - Some of the text discussions were rewritten to make them clearer. If one user has a problem, we rewrite that area based on the question that was asked, or to add the new information that we know but was missing from the manual.

3.010 Released May 6, 2002

1. STANDARD IN ALL KHP VERSIONS - Professional, variable speed sweep highlighting will continue to give the same appearence that Karaoke Home Producer 2.009 and Karaoke Pro deliver. The speed of highlighting through each word (even syllables within words can vary), changes and pauses to guide the singer when they are to sing or pause.
2. ADDED - You can now add a Title Page and/or a Credit Page with a graphic image and multiple lines of text. It does not get any easier than this. No more needing to use third party programs to struggle to add Title and Credit Pages to your CDG songs.
3. ADDED - You can add multiple text lines in the Title and Credits Pages with or without an image present. You can select the font, colors and bold/italic/shadow attributes, different from the lyric text area. Text vertical alignment can be Top, Center or Bottom, and horizontal alignment can be Left, Center or Right. The text over-writes a graphic if present.
4. ADDED - When a Title Page is used, the music and lyrics automatically delay so the graphics, draw transition in/out selections, and Display for: setting have time to merge perfectly, so the lyrics appear before they need to sweep or sing.
5. ADDED - You can now add a graphic image in the lyrics area. The area of the screen can be selected to show only lyrics, or a graphics image at the top half with up to 3 lyric lines sweeping below it.
6. ADDED - Insert "clear screen" commands using the "^" character to end the current page, and make the lyrics below appear on the next page, instead of continuously being replaced.
7. ADDED - If a graphic image is too big, it auto-scales to fit the CDG format.
8. ADDED - Graphic images automatically reduce to 10 colors to allow selecting separate colors for the lyrics, shadow, highlighting, border, background, etc.
9. ADDED - You can now change all Setting controls after placing the lyric words. This includes the number of lines, font, point size, colors and graphics. The changes appear the next time you play or export the CDG file.
10. ADDED - When you import the Lyrics .txt file, the font it appears in the Text Edit Window is now what is selected in the Change Settings button Lyrics Tab Font: field. This makes working with special fonts much easier.
11. ADDED - Vastly improved the Play Window drawing speed. This should remove any lagging that was seen in this window in all earlier versions.
12. ADDED - A new Display for: field in the Title and Credit Pages allows setting how long the graphic image will display after it is fully drawn.
13. ADDED - The manual now appears in your default Internet Browser, no longer using the Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing.
14. ADDED - You can now enter part of the lyrics and play to see what they look like. You still must enter the lyrics in one pass as there is no editing. This makes it much easier to learn and create songs.
15. ADDED - When placing lyrics, the word to be placed is underlined. When a word is placed it turns to the sweep color and the next word is underlined.
16. ADDED - A default time of two seconds was added to the last word in case the Ctrl button is not pressed to end the highlighting.
17. ADDED - The graphics and audio default directory is persistent (appears the next time).
18. ADDED - The sweep highlighting changes all the character dots in TrueType fonts. Before some dots were not changed.
19. ADDED - Some Karaoke Players appear to not like a rare color combination, and do not display the lyrics when it exists. This is now prevented without users being aware of the change, without any restrictions.
20. ADDED - The vertical alignment is selectable for the Title and Credits Page graphic images to be the Top, Center or Bottom of the display.
21. ADDED - The Settings are both session and power up persistent (they remain what you set them to until you change them).
22. ADDED - The Minimize Icon at the upper right corner of the KHP screen.
23. CHANGED - New Serial Numbers are required as the Serial Number used for Karaoke Home Producer 2.009 will not install 3.000. We debated about doing this, but with the Internet theft that occurs every day, we chose to be wise and not foolish. Our primary goal is to always remain in business so we can support our valued clients. If you disagree with this policy, we are sorry, but please do not contact us. This is our policy.
24. FIXED - While placing lyrics, pressing the Enter key twice would close the window with the song playing. The Enter key was disabled and the Home key was added as the Start button hot key.
25. FIXED - Blank lines are automatically placed, no longer requiring you to tap the spacebar to place them.
26. FIXED - Fixed the bug that required two extra lines at the end of a song for the last lines to sweep correctly.
27. FIXED - The first line at the top of a page could end up showing black characters (not the selected font color) until the sweep comes. There was a bug in the drawing logic used to determine when to erase old lines and draw new ones.
28. FIXED - The Preview window in the Change Settings Title Page and Credits Page dialog boxes now repaints properly under all conditions.
29. FIXED - The first character on the first line sometimes not drawing fully is fixed.
30. FIXED - The Title page graphics are drawing too fast in the exported CDG file.
31. FIXED - The Title page border was not drawing automatically in the Settings command Preview box.
32. FIXED - A bug was reported when a monaural wave file was opened. The music played double speed. Monaural files are not permitted to be opened.
33. FIXED - The Settings command Title page graphics Preview button draws the graphics correctly now.
34. FIXED - The Advance Sweep command now makes the lyrics draw earlier from where they were entered with the Spacebar key.
35. FIXED - The Check MTU Site button correctly launches your default Internet Browser and accesses the upgrades page.
36. FIXED - Only in Windows 98SE, when a graphic image is selected in the Title Page, you can only select colors that are found in the graphic image for the Text, Shadow, Border and Background.
37. REMOVED - We removed the "Transparency" option in the Change Settings dialog box for Title Page and Credits Page, in the Border and Background color picker.
38. REMOVED - We removed the "Sweep immediately" option from the Change Settings Lyrics Tab dialog.
39. REMOVED - Regretfully had to revert to prior code that still only runs in 16-bit mode. Next release will run in 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit video modes. However, some video cards will not support 24-bit mode running fast enough to use. Thus, it is recommended you run in 16-bit or 32-bit video mode.

2.009 Released 08/06/01

1. Bug - The font, point size, colors, etc. settings could be changed, but they did not modify the lyrics. This was fixed.

2.008 Released 08/01/01

1. Bugs - The release failed due to bugs. We will test again and release when we can. In the mean time, Karaoke Home Producer V1.115 will be made available as before yesterday.
2. Added Read Manual Button - The manual has been written and is now installed with the program. It is in Adobe Acrobat format. Clicking this button opens the manual so you can read it. When you have both KH Producer and Acrobat Read with the manual open, you can press and hold the Alt key and press the Tab key to toggle between which is currently displayed.

Changes in 2.007 From 2.006

1. Bug Fixed - Crashes Should be Fixed - Version 2.006 exhibited problems with several beta testers. This should now be fixed.
2. Settings Dialog Box Preview Window - The preview window now shows the text font, color, sweep color, number of lines, left-center-right alignment, text shadow color, etc. when they are changed.
3. Sweep Text or Background - Users can now select to have the sweep highlight the text letters or the background behind the letters.
4. Sweep Offset - This is set to 0.20 seconds (can be changed) to automatically have the lyrics start sweep highlighting earlier than a user tapped the spacebar for each word. This removes the user's response time which is always slightly behind the music, plus it make the sweeping happen early so the singer has time to respond in sync.
5. Instructions Window Removed - The earlier instructions window that showed the steps to create a song has been removed. There is now a manual with more details and graphic images showing what to do for each step.
6. Main Windows Expanded - The main window is now the full area. It shows; the Lyrics while entering and editing, the Lyrics Placement while syncing to the music, and the Preview while playing your song. The Place Lyrics buttons appear when needed in a window that floats above the image.

Changes in 2.006 From 2.001

1. Bug Fixed - Settings file on hard drive failed to update. This file is modified by the Change Settings command. We fixed the command in 2.001, but the file was not replaced, thus the corruption was still at work. It has taken several internal releases, but this is now fixed.
2. Upgraded InstallShield - The install program was not creating the uninstall program to remove all components. This has been upgraded. Uninstalling this version (and future ones) should remove all installed components.
3. Change Settings... Dialog Box was completely redone to allow for future upgrades.

Changes in 2.001 From 2.000

1. Bug Fixed - Change Settings... Dialog Box Failed. This command created a corrupt settings file. This has been fixed.
2. Settings Now Read With Place Lyrics Button to allow the new setting changes to take effect.
3. Desktop Icon is now created, but the graphic image needs to be upgraded.
4. Change Settings... Dialog Box was made easier to understand and use.

Changes in 2.000 From 1.115

1. Added New Change Settings... Command to allow users to change the following parameters:
   • Colors - Lyrics, Cursor (shows which word to place next while placing lyrics), background, border
   • Fonts - TrueType font, point size, bold, italic, outline
   • Text Style - Regular, bold, italic, bold-italic, outline, bold-outline, italic-outline, bold-italic-outline
   • Number of Lines - display 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 lines per page
   • Text Alignment - left aligned, centered, right aligned
   • Offset - this allows you to make all your text lines and the sweeping bar appear sooner than you tapped it in sync to the music. You can enter up to 9.999 seconds, but a typical setting that works is between 0.020 and 0.100 seconds.
   • Save Presets allows you to create, save and call up at any time as many different presets as you wish, or use the defaults provided.

Changes in 1.115 from 1.015
