Vocaloid, singers synthetic.

It is thanks to the computational capabilities of the newer computers that software like Vocaloid Yamaha can be used on home computers. The program is a speech synthesizer capable of generating an output 'sung' and not just 'spoke' as is the case for the rest of the products of this type. The mighty leap is done through a proprietary technology called Frequency-Domain Singing Articulation Splicing and Shaping. This allows for the generation of singing, his voice set, simply by specifying the lyrics and the corresponding notes. The 'library voice' is based on the recordings of a real singer for playback sufficiently realistic. From the examples, perloppiù in Japanese, listenable streaming, there remains a certain tone metal, but it has become a gradient secondary to the actual body of the item, not yet fully simulated, but more than credible in many situations. Vocaloid allows you to add expressive effects such as vibrato. Available for Windows 2000 and XP, and with a planned release for Mac OS, has already reached agreements for the development of libraries voice by Crypton Future Media, Best Service and Zero-G Limited which has already announced the first two synthetic voices, the male and female Lola Leon, due out in January, while Miriam will be available in April. All items are able to sing in English.
