a (very) brief introduction to the many vocal synths

[@SnowpawShaw]

Voiceroids have a thankless job, cause if you make a realistic voice nobody points it out, but if it's even a little off it drops STRAIGHT to the bottom of the uncanny valley

[@ikeasotbarnslig5228]

Yeah, that's the problem with SynthV and Cevio imo. They try so hard to be "realistic", but since none of the voicebanks have any personality, it just becomes super uncanny... Luckily Vocaloid 6 does a better job at this.

I love how well-known voicebanks can sometimes have multiple voicebanks on multiple vocal-synths. Gumi for example, not only got an A.I. Voicebank (which has my favorite Gumi design ever. She looks so pretty and cute what the heck), but she still got a Vocaloid6 voicebank. It gives more people options on how to use her voice and it also is showing love to multiple voice-programs.

[@ayayalgueewe9361]

Just thought I would share since I really like this fact: Alys (from Alter/Ego 6:28) is a French voicebank who was synthetised from a famous cover artist in the french vocaloid KZbin scene (Poucet)!

But it's mostly for memes and absurd things. It was widely used in the 2010s, Its most popular voice is "Jorge", maybe y'all here know it for the meme: "top 10 scariest jumpscares" also is well known for the "Loquendo City" videos, creepypasta videos and GTA SA parodies videos. :)))

Suprised you didn’t mentioned LalaVoice/LalaSing which is a EXTREMELY PAINFUL (for non sheet music knowers) Singing Synthesizer, but it’s well known that one of the voices is used in Vib Ribbon, a game by the creators of Parappa The Rapper. The only reason I said it’s painful, that you need to manually put in the notes in a music sheet format, and not a piano roll one. + you cant import your own pdf files of existing sheet music and you need to use their own type of file format.

[@goiioo4]

so really it is not painful. you just need sheet music knowledge?

[@skepbeans]

@@goiioo4 yeah I should have phrased that differently since I don’t know sheet music myself

[@musicfriendly12]

Man, I don't think that's fair. Sheet music isn't nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. The piano roll is pretty easy, but you still have to learn, sheet music is just 2 or 3 notches in difficulty above. If anyone here is interested in learning music I highly recommend they make that effort, because it's worse for programming vocals, but way better to understand harmony, rhythm and music concepts overall. Also, it's the best gateway to really learn those things online
