Siglos Pro 1.2.98 has been released and finally has Instant Sounds included. It is a new window that can be opened from Rotation dialog box and allows to assign sounds to ten programmable buttons. Sounds can be separated into banks, each containing ten files to play back.

We have added ten pre-programmed sounds, including cheers, applause, boos, and couple of other.

Working on Siglos Professional

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

For the last couple of days we have been working on Siglos Professional to add extra compatibility when displaying video files. One thing especially has been worrying us — the videos sometimes did not get stretched to full extent of the screen. And I hear that we this solved, so look out for a new Siglos build next week.

Siglos Karaoke Professional Beta build 1.2.10

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Today we have released a new build of Siglos Karaoke Professional. Please download it from here:

 http://www.powerkaraoke.com/download/sigloskaraokeprobetasetup.exe

Here is the list of changes in version 1.2.10:

  • Modified import dialog box — now it is possible to import using custom templates
  • Added disc track # and filename to the song list in database view
  • Database view is resizeable
  • Added partial match to global search (ie. ‘hot ea’ will find ‘Hotel California’ by ‘The Eagles’ and ‘On The Air’ by ‘Hot Dogs’)
  • Modified singer name display — text inside parentheses is hidden, so you may add extra text to differentiate singers (eg. ‘John (tall)’ versus ‘John (blonde)’)
  • Added singer rotation management
  • Settings does not stop the playback
  • It is now possible to add CD+G discs and files (not imported into the database) to the queue
  • Added ‘Rename singer’ to ‘Add Singer’ dialog
  • Added ‘Restart’ button
  • It is possible to display the remaining song time instead of current position (change in Settings)
  • Various minor tweaks and bugfixes

We are finishing the help file. One think I would like to ask you about is song list export — at the moment it is possible to export entire database to CSV or XML file (CSV file can be used in Excel). What else would you like to see there?

  • improved database song import
  • hidden singer attribute
  • search improvements

We hope to release a new beta build Tuesday 18th.
