Larry,

Yes, you are correct!

You would need to download this conversion program:

Here is the author’ description –

KarCrusher 3.2

KarCrusher 3.2 is Java application for converting MIDI Karaoke Type 1 files (.KAR) to MIDI Karaoke Type 0 files (.MID). The program was designed primarily for use with the karaoke feature of the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-96. On this instrument, lyrics will only display for Type 0 MIDI karaoke files such as those distributed by Tune1000 (now renamed eatsleepmusic.com). Type 0 files are not readily available for free, but Type 1 (.KAR) files are relatively abundant on the Net. See, for example, www.midikaraoke.com.

The concept of this program is simple. Merge all the Type 1 tracks into a single track for Type 0, delete redundant lyric information if it is present, and convert all the lyrics from MIDI text events to MIDI lyric events.

Hope this helps,
