In addition, "Voca Listener (abbreviation:To blurAbout Yamaha "VOCALOID Job PluginIt is said that it will develop and release it.

Product details are as follows.We added the appearance of the recital at 2011/06/08 20:20.
Developed a new version "VOCALOID 3" of singing voice synthesis software "VOCALOID"

We decided to offer separately the music production software ("VOCALOID 3 Editor": interface part mainly for input etc.) and the singing voice library (singer's voice data) which we have provided integrally until now It is said that "VOCALOID 3 Editor" is scheduled to be released at the end of September. The singing voice library is also scheduled to be released sequentially from each company licensed from Yamaha.

This is the actual screen


The features of "VOCALOID 3" are as follows.

1. More realistic singing voice

By improving the synthesis algorithm and improving the quality of the synthesized sound, it is possible to synthesize more realistic singing voices compared to the synthesized sound of the conventional "VOCALOID" "VOCALOID 2". In the singing voice library, it is possible to have samples in larger units than ever, and a smoother synthetic sound has been realized. In addition, we added improvements to the fast-forward synthesized sound that we were not good at trading, and it is possible to synthesize with more natural pronunciation. In addition, it seems that even when the pitch has changed so far, there was a case where the timbre changed suddenly at the point where the sample was switched, so that the synthesis engine of "VOCALOID 3" improved the sound so that the change of the sound could be performed smoothly.

2. Easy-to-use user interface ("VOCALOID 3 Editor")

We have renewed the user interface of "VOCALOID Editor", introduced a track view screen like "DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)" to make it easier to manage each track in addition to the editor screen of the conventional piano roll style . Multiple parts can be placed on each track, and editing of singing voice parts can be done more efficiently. In addition, it also has an accompaniment (audio file) playback function that was not available in the past, and it is possible to play stereo and monaural audio data one track at a time. This makes it possible to produce music while watching the synthesized singing voice and accompaniment at the same time, and to effectively use sound effects such as breath. Furthermore, by installing the "VST Host" function, it is possible to add effects such as reverb to the synthesized singing voice, and it is said that it is now possible to produce a single track by "VOCALOID 3 Editor" alone.

The "VOCALOID Job Plugin" function makes it possible to extend the editing function of singing voice tracks, as well as access and change internal data such as notes and control parameters by external modules. By doing this, it is possible to automatically add expressions of original singing skills.

The singing voice library of "VOCALOID 2" can also be used in "VOCALOID 3 Editor" using "V2 Library Import Tool". (Only some libraries can be imported, there is a fee.) "VOCALOID 3 Editor" compatible OS is "Windows XP" "Windows Vista" "Windows 7".

3. Singles vocal library and song production software separately

Traditionally, singing voice library was always sold in a form that bundled music production software, but this time "VOCALOID 3" selling music production software (VOCALOID 3 Editor) and singing voice library separately. This allows the user to use the basic software part in common and select and add only the singing voice library so that it can deal with various types of libraries and greatly expand the possibility of music production .

In addition, the singing voice library comes with limited edition music production software "Tiny VOCALOID 3 Editor", "VOCALOID 3 Editor" is released from "VOCALOID Store", and the singing voice library is released from each company licensed from Yamaha as before Then that.

The difference between the functions of "VOCALOID 3 Editor" and "Tiny VOCALOID Editor" (included in the singing voice library) are as follows.


Four. Multilingual

In addition to traditional Japanese and English, it corresponds to Chinese, Korean, Spanish newly. If you prepare a singing voice library of each national language, it seems that you can synthesize singing voices in that language. In addition, the menu display of "VOCALOID 3 Editor" is also easy to localize the language to use. In addition, it seems that we plan to increase the corresponding languages ​​in the future.

Five. Publish synthesis API, plug-in specification

We will release the synthesis engine API for corporations and individuals who have entered into a license agreement with us. By doing this, it is possible to develop new singing voice synthesis software that is not confined to the conventional user interface. Moreover, specifications are also disclosed for the aforementioned "VOCALOID Job Plugin". This makes it possible for users to develop their own "VOCALOID Job Plugin". The developed singing voice synthesis software and "VOCALOID Job Plugin" are "VOCALOID StoreIt is said that it is possible to distribute it through.

Furthermore, the license of the synthesis engine itself is also started, which means that it will be possible to use the singing voice synthesis function, for example, on a game application on a PC.
