KSR | Karaoke Singer Request System
(Works with DEX 3 and LYRX)
The new KSR (Karaoke Singer Request) web-app is now available and free for DEX 3 and LYRX owners. The KSR system allows you to easily host your karaoke songbook online (note: currently supports up to 100,000 songs), allowing your karaoke singers to browse and search your karaoke catalog and make song requests that you accept right inside the DEX 3/LYRX singer rotation list. Since it’s a web-app, any internet enabled device will work, such as the singers mobile phone, a tablet or laptop.
Leave the physical songbook at home and forget printing out hundreds of pages every time you update your karaoke music library. Simply enable the KSR service in options, sync your songbook, get assigned your unique KSR ID, and your singers are ready to start sending in karaoke song requests. It’s that easy!
How KSR Works
Setting up and using KSR with DEX 3 or LYRX takes no time at all. Just enable the KSR service in options, register your venue, add the karaoke songs you wish to share with your singers to the new dedicated “Karaoke Catalog” special list in DEX 3 or LYRX and upload. You’ll then be assigned a unique ID to share with your singers. Have them visit the ksr.pcdj.com website from their mobile device, punch in your unique ID — and they’re ready to view, search, and make requests that pop up in DEX 3’s/LYRX’s rotation list. Singers can even create their own “Favorites” list within the KSR web-app.
