⚙️ Advanced Options

Kanto CDG Creator includes a wide range of advanced settings to customize both the visual style and behavior of the final CDG karaoke file.
Each option is designed to recreate the professional karaoke experience.

  • Font
    Select the typeface for the karaoke lyrics. Common choices like Arial, Verdana, or Impact offer excellent readability.
  • Text Size
    Adjust the lyric size — ideal for large screens or distant viewing.
  • Text Style (Bold / Outline)
    Bold improves visibility, while an outline helps separate text from the background.

    Sets the default color before highlighting — typically white or yellow.
  • Highlight Color
    The color shown during singing — classic karaoke effect.
  • Outline Color
    Defines the border around the lyrics for better contrast.
  • Line Spacing
    Sets the vertical spacing between lyric lines.
  • Text Alignment
    Choose between center, left, or right alignment.
    Centered text is most common in karaoke.
  • Word Wrap
    Automatically splits long lines to avoid overflow.
  • Margins
    Sets how close the lyrics appear to the edges of the screen — useful for TVs or projectors.
  • Sweep Highlight
    Enables progressive highlighting where text fills gradually as sung.
  • Sweep Speed
    Adjusts the transition speed of the highlighting animation.
  • Pre-Display
    Shows the lyrics on screen before being sung — helpful for singers preparing timing.
  • Highlight Advance
    Starts highlighting slightly earlier — useful for fast rap or early singers.
  • Initial Countdown
    Adds a countdown such as “3…2…1…” before playback — great for live karaoke shows.

Kanto CDG Creator makes it easy for anyone — even beginners — to produce high-quality karaoke tracks with precise timing, smooth highlighting, and a professional appearance.

Whether you’re creating tracks for personal use, live shows, karaoke bars, or commercial production, this tool allows you to achieve polished results in just a few minutes.
