However, as the software only handles vocals, additional software is required in order to create musical arrangements that accompany the vocals. With the Vocaloid software, it is incredibly cheap and easy to create expressive music without the need for hiring an actual vocalist. VOCALOID and its shorthand Japanese form, ボカロ are registered trademarks of Yahama Corporation. Sung lyrics can be created by inputting the melody and lyrics into the software, which then converts into a playable audio file that has been sung by a sampled human voice.Ĭompanies that have accepted a license agreement with Yamaha can produce their own singer libraries that contain sampled sounds and sell them as commercial products in combination with the Yahama software. – More info on this change is expected later this year.VOCALOID (hereafter stylized as Vocaloid) is the term for voice synthesis technology that was developed by Yamaha. – Relationships with Yamaha will continue going forward (vocal synth promotion, and other partnerships). – The new product will be released as a new series along with the next generation Piapro Studio in 1H 2020. – Patches/updates to the voicebanks themselves will now be possible. These include Cherry Pie, HS Booster, Vocal Drive and more. – 11 new effector VSTs will be included in the new product. – The new product is currently not named. – This new product is aimed to be compatible with existing tools.

– The ‘identity’ of the voices are planned to remain the same with the new engine.

– This new engine has been in development for 2 years. – A new engine/product for the characters was developed using in-house algorithms by Crypton Future Media. – There will be no updates utilizing Yamaha’s VOCALOID 5 engine. – Hatsune Miku’s voicebank, along with Crypton’s other character voicebanks, will become less tied to Yamaha’s VOCALOID engine. So here’s a rundown of what the known changes are, and what they will mean for Vocaloid fans as consumers, and Vocaloid music creators. This is arguably the biggest change to happen to Hatsune Miku’s software since her initial release in 2007, so there’s understandably quite a few fans that might be confused as to what this means, and might even be worried. Simply put, Crypton Future Media will be moving Hatsune Miku and their other characters away from Yamaha’s VOCALOID engine.
