VOCALOID

what is VOCALOID???

  • Vocaloid (ボーカロイド Bōkaroido) is a singing voice synthesizer.
  • Its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Spain in 2000 and originally was not intended to be a full commercial project.
  • Backed by the Yamaha Corporation, it developed the software into the commercial product "Vocaloid."
  • The software enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyric and melody. It uses synthesizing technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors or singers. 
  • To create a song, the user must input the melody and lyrics.
  • A piano roll type interface is used to input the melody and the lyrics can be entered on each note. 
  • The software can change the stress of the pronunciations, add effects such as vibrato, or change the dynamics and tone of the voice. 
  • Each Vocaloid is sold as "a singer in a box" designed to act as a replacement for an actual singer. The software was originally only available in English and Japanese, but Vocaloid 3 has added support for Spanish, Chinese, and Korean.

  • software is intended for professional musicians as well as light computer music users and has so far sold on the idea that the only limits are the users' own skills. 
  • Japanese musical groups Livetune of Victor Entertainment and Supercell of Sony Music Entertainment Japan have released their songs featuring Vocaloid as vocals.  
  • Japanese record label Exit Tunes of Quake Inc. also have released compilation albums featuring Vocaloids. 
  • Artists such as Mike Oldfield have also used Vocaloids within their work for back up singer vocals and sound samples.
