Realivox Blue Walkthrough

Realivox Blue can sing words you type. Over 12,000 samples went into this instrument. In this video, we should the various features, including the word/phrase builder, legato modes and ensemble mode.
Realivox Blue is now available at:
realitone.com

Great. I decided to play the video at 15:52 while I was at the airport and my headphones weren't in. Needless to say, I'm now sitting in a back room with a table and 1 light. Thanks.

[@bobheatliesongs]

So, I bought it, and I haven't managed to escape from it! Sitting here in front of my computer, not dressed, not showered, not eaten! But very very happy! Congrats to you Mike, and all the gang who produced this wonderful instrument!

thank u, is it easy to use?

[@ChaplainAcosta]

LOL. TMI.

[@ThrillbertMusic]

this is probably the best walkthrough for a vst i've ever seen

[@TheCraigAnderton]

I've tried layering this with choir samples, and the combination is pretty amazing...better than either one by itself, and blurs the dividing line between realistic and surrealistic.

[@TheHutchMusic]

11/10 for presentation style. A great clear voice on KZbin tutorials is rare. You speak well sir. Of course the RB looks at awesome instrument too.

[@AbdiPianoChannel]

Amazing software also the presenter is extremely professional with great attitude and high level of speaking skills.

[@Rid-iculo-us]

I didn't even watch the end of this. Just bought it. Just what I've been waiting for.

[@producerplays]

I liked the whole video, but for some reason i felt compelled to like when the part came up with the brutal honesty about the limitations. too much respect.

[@mimojapan]

I'm not sure how many times I watched this clip already and being amazed every time. Even though there are approaches by other vendors to create such "instruments" coming up, I think none yet does currently match my needs better than the Realivox Blue and Ladies

[@mimojapan]

OK, this is what happened after four hours of purchasing this product (and NOT reading the manual). After some wildly clicking around, this sample (inspired by this clip) emerged . I admit that it's a bit clumsy but I see MUCH potential and will extend this soon

[@inmusicsupport9253]

well vocaloid had some reliable english vocaloids like avanna. avanna is soft bank but the most fixable . she can sing fast songs. so far the voice bank avanna was use in sad machine as main singer doing duet with porter robinson. the song has 1 million plus plays on sound cloud.

This looks like a good program, and I'm glad it has a soloist, this company's Wordbuilder isn't limited to choirs. On my wishlist, along with Symphonic Choir, good to have both, I think.

Popular music seems to be dead due to generic processes, less and less harmonic content, the joy of experimentation and creativity since decades.

[@AspenTruth]

…since decades? What exactly are you trying to convey?

[@nichttuntun3364]

@@AspenTruth That commercial music and the habits of listening changed drastically, step by step, over the last 40 years.

[@johnl9677]

First of all, this voice sounds GREAT. Better than Vocaloid, in my opinion. And this is probably the best vocal synthesis demo that I have seen - informative and entertaining. My problem is with the interface. You showed me the very good technical reasons why different vowel and consonants need to be combined based on "where you are" and "where you are going". But expecting me to break down my lyrics into the code needed to generate realistic sounding vocals is probably more than I am going to be able to pull off. If you could combine this excellent sound library with a front end that can analyze my lyrics and generate the the pseudocode needed to produce good sounding vocals, that's something I might consider buying. Again, I am really impressed with the sound of the instrument, but the interface seems intimidating to me.

[@Realitone]

Totally fair comment. You're not alone in preferring that the front end would require less fiddling. We're hoping to be able to make it that way, and include an English "translator" that does the conversion for you. It's challenging, though, so we're making no promises. Yet. ;-)

[@pojekmedia]

i almost cried, so beautiful

[@TruthSurge]

That's awesome - if you like the tone of her voice and having only one projection tone throughout and no round-robins. Take this, add a 2nd set of samples (yeah, 24,000 total) and do a louder projection of everything, double that to create a variant for each sample randomly triggered and this would be mind-blowing! Or not. I guess if you need that, just hire a singer.

[@Realitone]

If we did 2 round robins and a second velocity layer, that would quadruple the number of samples to record and edit. No thanks. ;-)

[@TruthSurge]

yeah, I was just thinking about how maybe it could be a little different from play to play. It shows up more when you do those staccato chords. Anyway, thanks for the walkthrough. Very interesting.

[@wojciechjastrzebski5572]

Hi, I used to write a comment here with an example of the words Ave Maria: aah veh mah ree yah . Now with the Voice Changer application I did a test with German . Because English is used in the application, you cannot write in German letters. I'm sure that in Realivox Blue can also sing in German. Try to enter this text Eesh leebe deesh, or German sentence Ich liebe dich (I love you) . In this way, in the Voice Changer application I made the text "robotic runner" for my song in the style of Kraftwerk . I wrote: roboter loyfer (original word in German : Roboterläufer.) It clearly came out in German. Try it.

[@Realitone]

Very cool!

[@Aditya-oe4yu]

I can only imagine how much the singer must’ve gone through to record for this library. Was she even paid enough? I hope

I wish Realitone would do this exact same product with a choir, because EastWest's Symphonic Choirs and the new Hollywood Choirs are about as realistic as a ten-dollar Rolex.

[@Realitone]

I'm oh so tempted to make a snarky comment about East West, but I'll resist. ;-) I'd like to do a choir some day, but boy would that be a lot of work. Still, we are considering it.

[@Rid-iculo-us]

Do it!

[@cubis]

You could consider using a harmonizer plugin to get something close to it?

[@andresmoya3049]

I must disagree. EastWest SC is a great tool, however it requires a meticulous work to make it sound the way we want, just exactly as Mike shows us in the video, you must be creative when you are using realivox. We can't expect (at least for now) that a software sings the way we want by just typing words, there's a lot of variables in vocalization. Programming is the key and ajustments using our ears is the tool to get it work. I'll get this beautiful library for my productions right away, but I'm aware there's a learning curve

[@pastoryoda2789]

J L N lol

[@kingslaphappy1533]

I bought this today and it does indeed deliver, however it will take me some time to get a feel for the “recipe” to create words that sound as they were meant to sound.

[@jeffreyclark1827]

The lack of inclusion of a schwa-type vowel is a huge oversight in most of these programs. Not having one blocks of much of English (as well as French). I can't fathom why such a foundational sound is universally excluded. Also, would "I" come out better by crossfading the aa/ee rather than treating them as separate syllables? Probably something better done in post (render the two syllables into separate tracks and fade between them). I also wanted to say that the system sounds amazing! There are very few artifacts from switching between samples, and very little engine noise. Well done!

[@Realitone]

Jeffrey Clark I hear you. Our original intent was not to do full on English. In fact, that's why I show the example she can't sing quite right in the video. However, lots of people (like you) DO wish she did full on English, so I brought her back and recorded the missing vowels, as well as a few extra consonants. We hope to release that update later this summer.

[@franslemaire-micado]

[@chimeforest]

Really cool! Any plans of doing something similar with a male vocalist? 'Cause that would be awesome for duets and small choirs.

[@Realitone]

Thanks! We do plan release male versions, although we're waaaayyyy behind on doing it. ;-)

[@AdrianVrabie]

SERIOUSLY!! You did that! AMAZING :) I was thinking about analyzing how consonants end depending on the vowels and then use some algorithms to glue them. Did you just put one some wave on the other or did you use some special algos to glue the sound waves?

[@Realitone]

Thank you! It was a ton of chopping, and then a very complicated set of "decisions" in the code, depending on what the order of consonants and vowels are.

[@mrkittydm]

“It’s lit”

[@JohnJewel]

Long time coming

[@oscarmike1131]

so I've found my next sample library for Kontakt

[@spicytigermeat]

This is a pretty cool program I must say :D I like the realistic tone in the voice, and the research and work put into this project is outstanding, and a total of over 12000 samples is great! But, I do have to say that I really don't like how the user interface is set up. As a pretty frequent user of other vocal synthesizers (Vocaloid/UTAU/CeVIO/ChipSpeech) I can't really get why it was chosen for the interface to be set up this way. Having the ability to make phonetic connections so easily is a really nice feature, but it would work SO much better and much more easy if you had a type of dictionary, (and I hate to compare, but like Vocaloid and Chipspeech do) that has words followed with a phonetic match! Like in this case, a user could type in "hello, i'm a robot" and it automatically plays "heh loh ah eem eh ee roh baht." The way that the phonetics, along with the settings, are set up makes it seem like it's very hard to work with and get to sound how you want it to D: Otherwise, it has a lot of potential, but I can't see the product as is being worth the price tag!

[@Realitone]

g i r a f f e y You make a very good point. In fact, we have an update coming up with a dictionary and some other features to make input easier.

I see the comments that Realitone is currently working on an update. If bought now what would update pricing be as a ballpark? I bought the package for Kontact Player this morning. Just a note your installation instructions for player need to be updated. All you need to do now is set the serial number in Native Access and point to the Realivox Blue folder you extracted to.

[@Realitone]

Yep, the instructions could definitely use an update, but we're waiting on that until the update is finished. As far as the upgrade goes, we're not sure how much that will cost. Most likely somewhere between $0 (yes, we're considering that) and $50.

"Your search for a library that can sing "oosht" is over ( ;-) ... This is such a great funny and relaxed advert / tutorial... I am sure it's a great product and am considering buying it but am a bit concerned if finally the workflow is somehow usable for me personally because I had some tries with other wordbuilders and they all were in the end not really usable with a justified amount of work. I am sure I am not the only one with that experience and scepticism and I believe that TRIAL VERSIONS would really increase your sales... I would immediately have a try and subsequently buy one in case it turns out usable for my personal skills and patience...

when the button is LIT nice work tho, can't wait to try this out :)

[@Metalpazallteway]

Very nice it's elaborate I have a question though, are her vocals all under one harmonic tone or are there separate round robins for every note? Also what is the limit of fast and slow tempo before her voice starts sounding robotic. Also for future ambiances, please add the feature of separate microphones positions for more audio freedom. But very nice review highly sought out library

[@Realitone]

That would be great, but bear in mind this sort of instrument is really time intensive to make, because there are around 20,000 samples as it is now. If we added round robins, that would multiply that number, which would add tremendously to how long it takes to edit. It's the same with dynamics - she sings softly, but if we added harder tones, it would add a ton of work.

[@Metalpazallteway]

Very true, I just thought it add more color and realism to it all on top of what the library already brings. But like I said, well done

[@TrickArrow]

This is amazing!

[@frankmacchiamusic]

What a great instructional video! I will definitely be picking this up. One question that I'm unclear about (maybe you mentioned it but I missed it)- After I construct a bunch of WordBuilder phrases and set them to keyswitches, can I save the whole bank of phrases so that if I'm working on a song and I need to close my sequencer and continue working the next day all those phrases I typed in will be there the next day? I'm imagining that if I just save the Kontakt/Realivox patch it will save all those phrases I typed in? Also is there a way to save a ton of phrases and them load them into Realivox instead of having to recreate them each time I work on a new song?
