"i’ve been teaching myself to cry so that you know how much you’re loved" this line is so powerful. even if it's meant to be from the point of view of the vocaloid, these words can mean so much for real people. learning to handle and embrace your emotions, to ultimately end up with love. it moved me to tears when i first heard it, truly a beautiful sentiment.

This is like reverse Odds&Ends. Instead of artist outgrowing the vocaloid, the vocaloid outlives the artist but in both scenario the vocaloid continue to care for the artist.

Exactly this!

[@alltimeorphan]

despite having different outcomes, the vocaloids both sang for love and self expression

[@ehmzed]

_ "Porter" is ポーター in katakana (PŌ-TĀ). _ ぽうたあ in hiragana (read the same, but written as PO-U-TA-A). _ うた means song (U-TA). _ "Po-uta" is "Porter" but japanised and written so that it separates the word "song". Fun and clever name!

It's a bit twisted, but you can take the "Po" as "保" which is a part of the word 保護 meaning "shelter", (I said twisted cuz 保 in 保護 is read "ho", but it is read "Po" in some occasions).

[@anormalhumanboy]

I like this demo because it starts you off going "aw what a cute little guy" and then po-uta just goes "you're going to die one day."

I hope Porter knows how much this means to Vocaloid fans like myself. We haven't gotten a new Vocaloid (aside from engine built-in ones) since Hime/Mikoto, and Po-uta sounds REALLY good.

[@QieQieQuiche]

You could say it's because of the difference in recording methods, but maybe it's from the heart

[@hungryluma27]

I wholeheartedly agree :) Vocaloid has been what’s gotten me through the toughest parts of my life, and to have Porter come back to it in such a cool way means so much. I also like how he used a tuning style similar to livetune and HachiojiP, with the more robotic and auto tuned sound. Some of my favorite vocaloid songs are in that style :)

[@QieQieQuiche]

@hungryluma2787 nope, the voicebank just sounds like that. It's a really unique stylistic choice and it sounds so good

[@UnofficialCyane]

It really does

[@hungryluma27]

@@QieQieQuiche hmmm… yeah that sounds right. I remember him saying on Instagram or something that it’s tuned in a robotic way like some of his favorite vocaloid songs, but it would make sense if that’s just it’s default sound.

[@niqchus]

i love how 'robotic' he sounds. i really missed this kind of tone in vocaloids.

[@petracore4812]

It's an effect called Pitch Snap, the bank doesn't actually sound that robotic.

[@unknown_user4978]

I agree, but even if it sounds so robotic it feels alive. The breathy voice indicates that it was brimming with life, even though it is just a Vocaloid, I can feel a strong attachment to it. I just love how Porter Robinson made Po-uta a machine brimming with life. It was just like the main theme in his recent music. His theme is a huge blend of machine and life. Even though it sounds robotic, you can feel that it has emotions just like humans. And his lyrics get me so emotional, every time I hear his music. It was so full of life and emotions and I applaud Porter Robinson for that.

[@anotherdayofsnow]

@@petracore4812 It does actually,the voicebank is made to be used in EDM songs and stuff like that. you can make it sound smooth by removing all effects but it still has a metallic sound to it.

As a person who grew up in the Vocaloid Community ever since 2011, having of my childhood producers having to become a Vocaloid himself actually makes this song extremely nostalgic. I am in love with this song, and I'll be sure to use this amazing voicebank in the future!

[@linyuan123]

Wow, amazing song! It reminds me of "Sad Machine" and "Goodbye to a World", which have similar themes of computers outliving/saying goodbye to humans and are also sung by a Vocaloid program. But on the other hand, the song's melancholic optimism makes it feel right at home in the current Nurture era. Po-uta is a happy sad. Po-uta is Porter Robinson.

This means so much 😭 Worlds, Nurture, and Porter's honest interviews have helped and encouraged me to continue through so many periods of depression, anxiety, and self-doubt. I recently finished an album using Vocaloid Oliver that took me 7 years to make and was shocked some of my friends resonated with how I feel, which I couldn't express in words. I now realize it's okay and valuable to bare your soul. Can't wait to play with this and continue the message that's been so life-changing for me. 🙌💜

Aww! I'm so happy for you! ^_^ I can't imagine what it's like to create an original song, and much less, a whole album of original songs! I love the idea that you used Oliver for the songs on the album too! He's one of my most favorite Vocaloids ever! :D

[@CeleryMane]

I'm in love with these lyrics Porter. With AI progressing so fast these days, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and in some ways afraid for the future but if there's AI out there that think and feel like Po-uta does, I'll somehow find comfort in them "taking everything and never stopping" 💚 Such a unique perspective

[@hungryluma27]

Vocaloid has been the one of the most positive things in my life. It’s gotten me through some of the hardest parts of my life. I was diagnosed with chronic acute pancreatitis as a child, and it’s made everything, from middle school up until college now, so much more of a challenge. Vocaloid music connects with me in a way that I can’t even explain… and songs like Sad Machine and Fresh Static Snow have been some of my favorites :) To have Porter come back to vocaloid in such a crazy cool way makes me happier than I’ve been in a long time :) I love Vocaloid, I love Porter and his music, and I am so grateful to still be here to experience music like this. I don’t think I could have gotten to this point without either of them. Also, I like how the tuning style is similar to kz (livetune) style, you may know him from songs like Tell Your World, Weekender Girl, and Last Night Good Night :D

"But nothing lasts forever And someday soon you'll sing your final song But they said that's why you made me: To pass the music on" -I like this because the one thing I'm scared of is losing people close to us and they'll be forgotten, however Porter wants to be remembered and made this Vocaloid to carry on his legacy. Which actually hits home because I want to be remembered as well, though we'll see if I ever reach that level to be remembered from many. But even if I don't or won't be remembered I know that everything goes on anyway and I think that's okay. :) Carry on and keep looking at the sky Porter/Vocaloid fans!

[@ibnuhafizh121]

It's a nice pun there! In Japanese Porter is pronounced 'pōtā' (the 'o' and 'a' is pronounced a bit longer). The reason he named it 'Po-uta' is because the Japanese word for 'song' is 'uta' (歌). When 'o' is followed by 'u', the 'o' is pronounced longer but the 'u' is silent, for example, the word 'nichijou' (which means 'daily life') is pronounced 'nichijō'. It's not just a nice pun, but a triple pun!

Aww! I love that Porter could finally have his voice turned into a Vocaloid! ^_^ I heard that he was inspired by the musician, Fukase, who also had his voice turned in a Vocaloid! :D And he loves Vocaloid music in general! These are his thoughts on this demonstration song, 'Humansongs'! "I want people to contemplate the future of AI, and to feel a bit of grief and sadness for all of the confusion and ethical dilemmas that will emerge in the age of AI. It's a story about an artificial mind, Po-UTA, who looks up to me, Porter, as a father figure. But because I'm mortal and he's not, he's separated from me for all eternity, and comes to terms with the grief that ensues. It's a story about a child grieving its parent. Of course, it's looking at AI through the lens of human emotions, so I don't know if it's realistic, but after all it's art that's meant to resonate with humans." Also, these lyrics always make me cry.. "But nothing lasts forever! And someday soon, you'll sing your final song, but they said, that's why you made me: to pass the music on!"
