Karaoke apparatus displaying image synchronously with orchestra accompaniment

摘要

A Karaoke apparatus reproduces an instrumental accompaniment of a song requested by a singer during the course of a vocal performance of the song by the singer. A memory is provided for registering a composite text data of a song containing accompaniment information, word information and picture information in linked manner with each other. A sound system receives the accompaniment information for reproducing an instrument accompaniment of said song according to the accompaniment information. A display system receives the word information and the picture information for displaying a word of said song in the form of a sequence of characters according to the word information, and for displaying, in superposed relation to the word, an image associated to said song according to the picture information. A controller addresses the memory to sequentially distribute the accompaniment information, the word information and the picture information in synchronous manner with each other to those of the sound system and the display system so that the word and the image can be displayed in linked manner to progression of the sounded instrumental accompaniment.
