PowerFX also sent a video message regarding the update to the Vocaloid platform.ĪH-Software has announced that their Vocaloid 2 voicebanks would be renewed for the Vocaloid 4 Editor. Demonstrations used the function to make a voicebank suitable for a "Metal" style song, as well as using it lightly during high notes to make the voicebank sound as if it's overexerting (making it sound more "natural" according to comments).Ĭompanies AH-Software, 1st Place, Internet Co., and Yamaha themselves have announced voicebanks for the new editor.

Previously, this would have required the use of an additional external piece of software to achieve the same effect. "Growl", although still being adjusted according to the representative, is as it sounds it allows the voicebank to sound as if it's "growling". In the previous example, one could use the soft (possibly a little airy) style of the Whisper voicebank, and gradually shift into the Natural voicebank's clearer style. Cross synthesis would allow the user to take the attributes of both voicebanks and utilize them at the same time. As one would expect, the whisper version would have a softer voice, and would be suited for such songs. For example, a voicebank could be released with a "Natural" version, and a "Whisper" variant. Previously, voicebanks would be released in various styles. "Cross-Synthesis" is the ability to combine two voicebanks to create a "new" voicebank. Of the new features of the editor, two that were highlighted the most in the stream were the new "Cross-Synthesis" and "Growl" functions. The price of the standalone editor has yet to be announced.

Those that purchased the previous version, Vocaloid 3 Editor, on or after October 10th, will be able to purchase the latest editor for a discounted price of 5400 yen. In a Nico Nico Douga livestream earlier today, Yamaha announced of the latest version of their software, the Vocaloid 4 Editor. The editor, combined with a set of voice samples called a Voicebank, allow users to manipulate a virtual singer.įor example, Hatsune Miku is one such voicebank. VOCALOID refers to the singing voice synthesis software developed by Yamaha.
