UPDATE: I found english versions in Google… yes - its 100% FREE to download… heres the GUI of the worldwide MOST popular vocaloid named MIKU Non-Yamaha Public Domain vocaloid software include 3-D animation software so you can make your ‘singer’ dance to the song you make… yet MORE programming… google MIKUMIKU DANCE to get the old, yet free software… and pray it has been translated from Japanese… What they forget to say … is you control those manually… and they must ALL be adjusted to make a song… MANUALLY for each syllable !Īfter reading this - some one with a lot of time will beat me to it… but I have some things in the works using vocaloids… Resonance (Frequency/bandwidth/amplitude). Pitch bend (amount, and positionable in time). Vibrato (you can change its type/position/amount/frequency). Timing of each note (precise position/length). One of their sales pitches mention things you have control over:Īnd that’s just the beginning - you have control over all of the following parameters, which you can bring to bear on any part of your creation: It is actually ‘programming’ and very involved.
These are NOT VST’s as we know them… they are NOT instruments, they are simply speech systhesis tools that we have to painstakingly spend hours phonetically entering words and then thinking on new phonemes to make words SOUND real… then add vibratto, pitch, volume, sustain, etc… all … basicaly MANUALLY - using zero music skill whatsoever…
The learning curve would be similar to taking you average 1st year high school band student and throwing them in front of a DAW with zero studio experience… im not kidding there… I own and was on the pre-order list for Sonika when it came out a long time ago but like others pointed out - ‘PROGRAMMING’ a vocaloid has a learning curve… and has almost NOTHING to do with music composition… I have used… ummm… played with Vocaloids for years… Unfortunately they do not sound very good in English language (as their source ‘samples’ are usually taken from Japanese voice artists) but they CAN sound very good in Japanese due to the nature of the language phrasing. While searching for Text-To-Speech programmes, I came across the VOCALOID speech synthesizer & YAMAHA has even developed a special 3D - GUI for this VSTi!
