Keyrite V2.20 Released August 30, 2010

1. NEW - Automatic Check for Updates - When Keyrite first runs and the computer is on-line, it automatically checks to see if 7 days have passed since the last access to the MTU web site. If under 7 days, it won't check now. If more than 7 days, it checks for a new release. This does not delay the program running. The message box that appears has a "Hide this message for version NNN" checkbox where NNN is the new version number. If clicked, the message for the version being reported does not appear again. When a new version is released later than this one, the message appears with text explaining this new version's features. Three messages can appear.
2. CHANGED - Help Menu Check for Updates - Clicking this with the computer on-line immediately checks to see if a new version is released. A progress meter shows the steps advancing to the final message.
3. CHANGED Help Menu About... Command Dialog - The copyright year was extended to 2010 and the version number changed to 2.20.
4. NEW Keyrite Demo - A popup message now appears everytime the demo runs. It lists the hampering performed in the demo, which includes:
   
   
   • Random beeps are added into the processed audio stream at random times. This shows how easy Keyrite is to use, and its quality.
   • Only plays/saves the first 75 seconds of a song, with the random beeps.

Keyrite V2.11 Released January 14, 2009

1. Fixed BIN Files Not Finishing - When processing BIN files, they would key change up to the very end and then hang, whether playing or saving to the hard drive. This is fixed.
2. Upgraded Installation Program - We added a checkbox in one of the install panels that allows you to easily remove all Registry Keys for Keyrite. This is rarely needed, but sometimes Windows Registry Keys can get messed up. This is much easier to use for everyone, instead of the RegEdit function that is for technology knowledgeable users.
3. Fixed Location Counter - There was a bug where the counter was off one-second for every 30 seconds of file processing. This has been fixed.

Keyrite V2.10 Released August 25, 2008

1. NEW Key Change Code - The new code we wrote for Hoster 4.00 is now in Keyrite 2.10.
2. NEW Open New Karaoke Formats - Now opens and key changes Karaoke; BIN, KMA, MP3+G, and ZIP format files. MP3+G and ZIP files require the Lame_enc.dll be installed to write them back out as MP3 files.
3. NEW Audio Formats - Now opens and key changes Audio MP3, WMA and WAV files. The Location slider moves while MP3 or WMA audio files are converted before opening. The Output file format is the same as the opened file format, except with some KMA files (see below). MP3 files require the Lame_enc.dll be installed to write them back out as MP3 files.
4. NEW Uses MP3 Lame_enc.dll If Present - If you have installed the MP3 Lame_enc.dll file in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder (XP & Vista), or C:\WINNT\system32 folder (2000), then you can Save MP3, MP3+G, and ZIP files with MP3+G files. Otherwise, they will save as WAV audio or BIN karaoke files.
5. New Key Changes All KMA Files - All KMA files can now be opened and key changed. All KMAs, no matter which format (HDZIP, HDMP3G, HDCDG, CDCDG, HDBIN) are written back as CDCDG format.
6. New Menu Bar - The function buttons that were at the bottom of the screen are now available as menu commands. Some new commands were also added.
7. UPGRADED Help Menu "Need Help?" Command - The new URL is http://www.mtu.com/support/support-frame.htm which goes to the modern MTU.com Support Center listing all forms of support.
8. New Installation Program Now Allows Removing And Installing On New Computer - This new feature allows you to remove Keyrite from a working computer and installing it on a new computer. When removing, you MUST use the Keyrite 2.10 Installation program, not Windows Add/Remove Programs, and the computer must be ON-LINE to the Internet. The act of removal is documented in the MTU.com web site registration database for your Registration Code. This frees it up to be installed on another computer. It also requires entering a "CPU Name" for this computer if no MTU software has been installed before. This allows you to identify which computer you need help, and we can instantly know which one it is.
9. UPGRADED Opened Folder Is Persistent - Whenever you open a file in a new folder, that becomes the default folder presented the next time, even if the file had an error and cannot open.
10. UPGRADED Location Slider Moves When Playing Saved Output File - In prior versions, the slider did not move when playing the created file.
11. UPGRADED Screen Appearance - We added a "Starburst" background and other eye-candy.
12. UPGRADED New Manual - The manual has been rewritten as a step-by-step tutorial so everyone can use this product.
13. New View Registration Code Command - This new dialog shows the CPU Name: field, identifying this computer when you need help from MTU.
14. New Output Level Adjust and Meter - If the song is not loud enough, click and drag the Output Lever slider up (or down if too loud) to change the amplitude. The Green-Yellow-Red meter shows the audio level while playing and also while saving the output file.
15. UPGRADE Play Buttons Turn Red - While playing, the Preview Play and Play File buttons turn red to show they are active. The titles change to Stop Playing.
16. REMOVED Approval Messages - In 2.0, a message appeared whenever you were playing and clicked any control. This is gone and the clicked button is executed. When you click the Save Output File button it is now automatically created, and a message appears only when you would overwrite an existing filename.
17. REMOVED Discontinued MTU .CDG File Support - Version 2.10 does not expect a .CDG file to contain audio, only the graphic/lyric data. If you have older MTU .CDG files, rename the CDG to BIN and they will now work in all MTU programs.

Keyrite V2.012 Released March 7, 2007

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

Keyrite V2.011 Released November 28, 2006

This is a free upgrade from 2.008

1. Add .BIN File Support - Since Microstudio 3.0 only imports .BIN files, no longer .CDG (which are identical to .BIN except the .CDG name extension), 2.011 now allows opening .BIN, .CDG and .WAV files.
2. Changed Field Colors - The Select Input File and Save Output File fields are now black background with green text.
3. Allow Longer Filenames - It was discovered that with a long path name to the file location, and a longer filename, Keyrite could display an error and prevent processing the Selected Input File.

Keyrite V2.010 Released March 23, 2006

This is a free upgrade from 2.008

1. Improved Installation - The install program was upgraded for easier installing.

Keyrite V2.009 Released January 19, 2006

1. Key Change "-1" Button Upgraded - The -1 button parameters were adjusted to deliver better sound.
2. Removed Audio Pop - The audible "pop" that could be heard when key changing a .cdg file using a + key was found and removed.
3. New Screen Layout - The controls were rearranged and buttons combined to be more logical and easier to use.
4. Select Input File Dialog Files of Type Persistent - The selection now remains either .cdg or .wav that you last clicked.
5. Gray Out Non-Functional Controls - Now, a file must be opened or ready to save before some buttons can be clicked.
6. Key Change Buttons Play - Clicking any Key Change button now turns it green amd starts playing the song.
7. Select Output File and Write File Buttons - These are now combined to select the destination output file and write the key changed samples to it.
8. Removed Pop-Up at the Start - This duplicated the About... dialog box and is now gone.
9. Stop Preview Error Message - An error message no longer appears when you click the Stop Preview button.
10. Installation Upgrade - The install program now allows reinstalling the same version on the same computer by REPAIR. Installing a new version requires Internet registration by the computer being on-line or using a Memory Stick or Floppy Disc and registering from a different computer that is Internet connected. Any errors that occur during installation are displayed to insure a smooth install.
11. Security Upgrade - The security protection method is more forgiving of computer upgrades.

Keyrite V2.008 Released December 04, 2003

1. Key Change Algorithm Upgraded - The basic way we detect the key and adjust the pitch with the key change buttons has been fundamentally changed. The resulting sound should now be free of distorting artifacts such as quivering, vibrato, echoes, rubber banding, etc. that were reported by some professional users with prior versions.
2. Select Output File button - We changed the Save as Type: list box to only show the open file type. This forces the output file type (.cdg or .wav) to be the same as the Input File type. Some users thought Keyrite could create a .cdg karaoke file from a .wav file.
3. Default to CDG File Type - When Keyrite runs, it will start off using .cdg files to make it easier for our Karaoke users.
4. Added Reg Code button - This command in the Help menu allows you to see the Registration Code that Keyrite was installed with on this computer.
5. Manual Now is HTML - The manual was converted from Adobe Acrobat PDF format to standard Internet HTML format, read by your standard Internet Browser program.
6. Upgraded End User License - The wording was changed for Registration Code that we now use, instead of the Serial Number we used in the past.
7. New Registration Code and Installation Program - This version uses MTU´s new Registration Code security and Installation program to protect the program and insure it installs correctly on the Windows.
8. Added Error Checking for Email Spaces - If a space was added before or after the Registration Email during installation, the product would install, but when run would display the error "Serial Number does not match registered Serial Number". This error will not happen again.
9. Keyrite 1.400 Discontinued - We discontinued the Keyrite Home version and lowered the price of Keyrite Pro for consumers.

Keyrite Home 1.400 Released December 15, 2003, Discontinued

1. Select Output File button - We changed the Save as Type: list box to only show the open file type. This forces the output file type (.cdg or .wav) to be the same as the Input File type. Some users thought Keyrite would create a .cdg karaoke file from a .wav file.
2. Default to CDG File Type - When Keyrite runs, it will start off using .cdg files to make it easier for our Karaoke users.
3. Added Reg Code button - This command in the Help menu allows you to see the Registration Code that Keyrite was installed with on this computer.
4. Manual Now is HTML - The manual is now in standard Internet HTML format so you can open and view it in your Internet Browser program.
5. Upgraded End User License - The wording was changed for Registration Code that we now use, instead of the Serial Number we used in the past.
6. Upgraded Installation Program and Security - Replacing version 1.302, version 1.400 uses our new Registration Code security and new Installation program to protect the program and insure it installs on Windows.
7. Added Error Checking for Email Spaces - If a space was added before or after the Registration Email during installation, the product would install, but when run would display the error "Serial Number does not match registered Serial Number". This error will not happen again.
