Have plans to construct a karaoke recorder for home-front usage. Seeking datasheets, schematics, and manuals that may help with this project.
What a karaoke recorder is. Most karaoke systems, whether home-front or professional, are strictly karaoke players. They allow playing of pre-recorded music, which the user can adjust and perform along with, but they do not allow recording of performances without the additions of separate equipment. By comparison, karaoke recorders DO allow such recording because whatever equipment has to be added onto karaoke players separately for recording purposes, is already, in a karaoke recorder, built into the system.
Compatibility. This device is meant to be compatible with MIDI, CD, CD+G, MP3, MP3+G, DVD, and USB inputs, and to record by these and other similar outputs. It will not have a monitor of its own, though it will accept any external monitor in any definition standard. It will, potentially, be able to burn CDs, DVDs, and/or "Blu-Ray" disks, depending upon the capabilities of the installed hardware. Alternatively, it will be able to interface with a computer, most likely by USB, which computer will then be able to drain off the finished recording and/or convert it to appropriate format.
Power sources. This is meant to accept up to and including eight (8) size D power cells, two (2) six(6)-volt lantern cells, and/or adaptations to AC power with an external three(3)-prong grounded power cable.
Microphone inputs. There will be two(2), both of the one-quarter inch (1/4") connector type. Both will be monophonic in their inputs. However, the recorder will be able to double-channel each input to make stereophonic recording possible.
Controls. Each microphone input will have its own volume control, on-off variable echo controls, stereophonic double-channeling control, and auto-voice control; these will run through a selector switch which allows one or both microphones to be used. The pre-recorded music, regardless of its source, will use an independent control to govern its pitch, its speed, or its tempo. All will run through a master volume control. The main power source will have its own separate on-off switch, along with a selector switch for which source is used.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated, and advance thanx is hereby given for all such assistance.
