M-Live has created an app that turns your iPad into a complete karaoke station, capable of playing MIDI* (by connecting an iPad compatible external sound module) files with text, MP3 with text, and the popular format MP3+G, with realtime transpose and time shifting function.
With Grinta Karaoke PRO your iPad becomes a constant companion for both professional performances and pleasant moments of leisure with family and friends.
Grinta Karaoke has a digital store built right into the app: SongService.it, which offers you immediate access to thousands backing tracks in both MIDI and MP3 formats with karaoke lyrics.
Grinta Karaoke PRO has 5 main sections:
• KARAOKE - Follow the text of the song that is playing, shown in full screen and highlighted in time with the music.
• LIBRARY - View the list of imported songs and create custom playlists.
• EDITING - Edit and fine tune all the parameters of each track of the MIDI files (Instrument, Velocity, Transpose, Reverb, Chorus, and more).
• MIXER - Set the levels of the tracks of the MIDI files in real-time, remixing your favorite songs to your liking.
• CHORDS - Show the chords of the song in 4 different modes: Piano, Guitar, Text and Live Keys.
Each section can be switched to full screen or half screen, thus leaving space for the text of the song you are playing.
And the backing tracks?
You can import from your personal library all the backing tracks you want, Grinta Karaoke PRO is able to play MIDI, MP3 and MP3+G files from your computer. So if you have an archive of backing tracks resident on your computer you can sync Grinta Karaoke PRO via iTunes and the entire repertoire will be transferred from the computer to your iPad.
*NOTE: To play MIDI files, iPad must be connected to an iPad compatible external sound module via the Camera Connection Kit and a USB cable. MP3 and MP3+G files can be both played directly from iPad or using a compatible external sound module.

Limited lyrics
I bought grinta because it says it plays midi files and MP3’s with lyrics but will only display lyrics with embedded files. Will not play files with .txt or .rtf files and you can’t import lyrics either.
When you have 1000’s of files without embedded lyrics, it’s pretty useless...
When contacted the developer, they said there is no plan to display .txt or .rtf files in the future.
If you’re looking for a playback app which will display these files, this is NOT the app..
Frustrating
I have purchased this App but cannot link it to iTunes to access my existing library. Waste of money
What a waste of money!!!
I thought this app would be great to use at live gigs - I downloaded the Home version to try it but the Home version doesn't have any of the feautres that interested me. I was keen to see how the editing worked and the chords. So I decided to spend the large sum of money that it costs for bought the pro version - only to find out those feautres ONLY work with midi files. That is not stated on their app site anywhere. Unless you use midi - dont bother.
