Hello company. Which program do you suggest to write text to mp3? The platform is OSX(Mac). The CDG variant does not. I had a Lyrioke Maker, but it only works on the PC platform. Is there anything useful at your disposal?
Thanks for the quick reply.

This program works very well and also works in Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/karlyriceditor/?source=typ_redirect
And its free.
Usage instructions that I have put together (originally posted by Karen):

This product will create a .cdg file. As long as the .cdg file matches the .mp3 file name, it will work on the Korg Pa. So both files xxx.mp3 and xxx.cdg need to be on your USB or copied to your internal disk. When you choose play only the .mp3 file will be visible.

The karlyricseditor program all works straight from a single executable file that you download. {Hint: It will likely be in your downloads folder so copy the exe file to say a new folder in Documents then right-click it to create a shortcut}.

To use. You start a new project, accept the LRC Version 2. Associate the music file MP3 and enter bio info and you are ready. Type or copy/paste in your lyrics. You can add chord prompts using STANDARD brackets like (Am) with the lyrics. Play the song and click on the "insert mark" button to mark the beginning and end of each line. For a screen break, just leave a blank line. {Hint: leave a blank line at least every 8 (Pa3x) or 10 (Pa4x) lines of text}.

Once you are done, you simply choose: Project > Export CD+G file.

Tips: keep your text lines short in order to get the maximum font size for your .cdg file (maximum 35 characters per line to create a size 10 or 11 font). Also, it does not matter which font you use to create the .cdg file, the Korg displays the same font. So, the more streamlined font you use to create the .cdg file, the bigger the font you can get. For 11-point font, you can get away with 8 to 10 lines per screen and so on (see application settings).

Load the song into your Korg keyboard. You won't see the lyrics appear until the song starts playing. If you still don't see the lyrics, check the Lyrics screen for a small button "CDG" in the upper right corner.

The karlyricseditor program is downloadable from:

Hello Reuben,

I tried it. It works. But with a little exercise will go. It's a pity that this is a CDG system. With Lyrioke I inserted texts directly into mp3s. Unfortunately, it does not work anymore. Thank you very much for your efforts.

Regards,

Boris alias export-B

Hello,

Thanks for the answer and the hint. Specifically, I'm looking for something similar to Lyrioke Maker just to work on OSX. Is there anything like that?

You can add lyrics directly in mp3 with MiniLyrics so you don't need to have two files. You will make karaoke very easily. It's free addon for all platforms.

My question is how to separate lines of text. If lines in song are short KORG automatically show two lines in one row and that's a little bit messy.

For example i would like to see something like this:
But when I call you never
Seem to be home

But KORG PA4x will show me this:
But when I call you neverSeem to be home

I have tried the minilyrics program but cant get it to work.
Are you able to explain the process step by step?
I seem to get the option to save as .lrc or .txt or .snc all of which don't seem to be compatible. It also has the option to "Save in Song File" but I can't seem to be able to copy this file.
