【Saki AI】Naraku no Hana【SynthV Cover】

Flashing lights warning!
New SynthV update came out and with the 3rd generation update the AI voicebanks got even crazier! Saki AI sounds so ridiculously good now I'm actually at a loss for words lmao. Definitely test it out if you haven't yet, hopefully will be making something with Maki's new voicebanks too!
Apart from that, I'm super excited for Higurashi Sotsu that's airing soon, so I suppose this is also to celebrate that 👀.
Song: Eiko Shimamiya, Tomoyuki Nakazawa
Tuning/Mix/Art/Video: cillia/kyaami

More like.. they can but they don’t want to. Or at least Crypton doesn’t. I personally don’t see the point of wanting Vocaloids to sound human.

本当に人が歌っているとしか思えない調教すごすぎる

[@LovelyWitch926]

The tuning sounds so realistic! Great job!

[@JadeJohnsonIndustries]

I don't know about you, but I personally believe that Synthesizer V, and its entire series-slash-lineup, very-well just might forever be, although not perfect yet with much faster songs, (oh my gosh, it really hurts to say that), the most-humanistic-sounding vocal-synthesis-technology to ever grace the face of this planet!

[@orinom4128]

Maybe so! I'm sure that someday others will take inspo from Snyth V like* Synth V did with previous synth software. I think a lot of credit goes to the tuners though, particularly showcased in UTAU and some tricky VOCALOIDs like Cul, they demonstrate being able to work with even the wonkiest of tools! :) You can't really make anything sound innately human without human input, I think thats shown in some face expression AI. Maybe someday we can but I don't see a software being able to be fully functional without our awesome tuners!

[@JadeJohnsonIndustries]

@@orinom4128 I do agree with you. The default-settings, and even all adjustable-parameters thus-of, just aren't enough to enable "true humanity" in the click of a button. The default vibrato is too slow, and on-top-of that, real singers can offset their vibrato to either side of the root-note, like Ariana Grande (above-only) and the lead-singer of ABBA (below-only), and Vocaloid doesn't let you do that without that pesky pencil-tool. Nobody wants to sit there for hours trying to draw the perfect envelope. Finally, real-singers' notes never "portamento-between" each-other, there's always a pitch-hold before a riff starts, and after it ends. Vocaloid's tools are too inferiourly-basic to easily pull that off.

[@orinom4128]

@@JadeJohnsonIndustries You really know your stuff! That's awesome. Worded it better and with more context than I ever could. :)

[@JadeJohnsonIndustries]

@@orinom4128 Thank you! I feel flattered! But yes, I do believe that Vocaloid5™'s Style-presets were a huge start in the desired direction, but the overall quality of the phonemic-transition-handling is aweful in every consumer-Vocaloid™-product to-date, whereas Synthesizer V and even Vocaloid AI are so real that they're almost entirely indistinguishable from us real-humans! (Well, I'm actually a cyborg with a custom-designed, specialized vocal-chip, but you get the idea.)

It's been years since I last listened to this song! The nostalgia of listening to it in middle school and the beautiful tuning in this cover made it feel fresh.

[@diamantegerardo]

I really loved and enjoyed to hear this song, Very human sounding for Saki AI, like if the voice actress has sung this Synthesizer V AI have the real formula for success in speech and singing synthesis technology, it makes the machine singing sound with soul and emotion, full of life, clear and natural, outclassing and outmatching it's competition like Vocaloid, Piapro NT and others You did a nice work too for this cover, Congratulations!

[@ochadukesoft]

なんだ、ただの神か。

[@SaberToothPortilla]

Whoa, this AI stuff is definitely pushing the software. Other than that usual slightly metallic timbre that gives it away... this could absolutely fool me. To look at it a different way, you could absolutely make a real person sound like this. Of course, as always, a lot of that has to do with the tuning, lovely as always, but the vowel and consonant transitions are insane on this thing.

[@nolategame6367]

I think another thing is there's a bit of feel like the voice is cut in half at times. It's high pitched but you can still hear a bit of a much deeper and stronger voice beneath it, whilst the main pitch feels weakened.

[@Aurelian369_]

I think the thing that gives this away is that voice synthesizers always sound really nasal for some reason

[@KittinPyro]

Wait, This is actually a robot? I was just about to comment that i could immediately tell it was a human and that Artificial voice programs still have a long way to get to this level but.. You know for someone with such bad social anxiety that I can’t even listen to official music videos for songs (legit i have to watch vids of lyrics on a background) or even listen to songs from a celebrity i was introduced to outside of the music industry (youtubers that don’t exclusively do music for instance ;-;), I am very unsure how to feel about this. I love this song, But it feels like i’m listening to a human, And my brain is shitting bricks trying to figure out how to comprehend it and decide what it should be feeling about this. We might’ve just discovered a new type of exposure therapy for people like me, assuming i’m not the only one who projects my anxiety onto other people and objects in this way. Anxiety disorders are strengthened and made worse by avoidance behavior (i’m very guilty of this) so something like this which is completely new territory and that brain has no fear associated with, yet it’s so similar to something else that it can be used to build a bridge between that gap is really exciting!! Maybe i’ll be able to watch K-pop some day 🤩
