Hello, I’m going to show you how to create wonderful songs of your own or a cover song by creating good structured lyrics in VOCALOID 3. I have been fiddling with the program and watching tutorials so now its time to summarize what I’ve learnt!
Yamaha has announced at the NAMM 2015 tradeshow the upcoming release of a female American English VOCALOID4 library called CYBER DIVA. Being Yamaha’s first direct release of an English VOCALOID sound bank, CYBER DIVA is touted as being able to reproduce the natural pronunciation of a native English speaker, and it is expected to be available as a download to customers in the US during the first quarter of this year for 149.99 USD. A packaged version is also expected to be released in Japan in early February as well. There are currently five demo songs available on YouTube (1,2,3,4,5), with two songs created by UtataP and three songs made by a collaboration between CircusP and CrusherP. The recommended pitch range is from G2 to C4, and the recommended tempo goes from 60 to 180 beats per minute. The library will have only a single voice bank (and thus is not cross-synthesizable) but is touted to be able reproduce “rough” as well as “harsh” vocals through VOCALOID4’s growl feature. The official website also posted an interview detailing the development process, showing the many problems that were encountered in the nearly two years of development.
According to the interview with developer Michael Wilson, the journey began in late 2012 with Yamaha sitting down and analyzing existing English voice banks to determine why English didn’t sound very good with VOCALOID. Three conclusions were reached—the phonetic dictionary used to convert written words into phonemes contained a mix of British and American English, sometimes the audio didn’t match the phoneme it was supposed to represent, and the presence of noise deteriorated synthesis quality.
In initial tests, the English project team discovered many problems that stood in the way of a high quality voice bank, the most egregious being the mislabeling of phonemes. Michael attempted to fix this problem by designing a new recording script (VOCALOID libraries are created from a recording where the voicer sings a special script that contains all the necessary phonemes), which made the resulting voice easier to understand due to higher consistency and less mislabeling. However, it did come at the cost of expressibility due to the shorter script being harder to sing.
The recording process went through four singers in total, two for the initial test before the script changes and two afterwards. Eventually the team settled on coaching one of the second group to sound more like the other person in the group and went through several hours of recording to go through the script several times. Michael talks about how they recorded three different pitches for diphones and triphones (sounds consisting of two or three phonemes, respectively, e.g. the diphone “he” and the triphone “ello” in “hello”) and six different pitches for “stationaries” (phonemes that can be prolonged, like vowel sounds). The latter was much more than any previous English VOCALOID library to date. Being integral to the VOCALOID synthesis engine, the different pitches allow for a more natural synthesis result, since a singer will often sing the same syllable differently based on where it is in his/her pitch range. This library also incorporated 231 triphones per pitch, which is also the most in any English sound bank to date.
The process of turning the audio into a library and fixing pronunciation problems also had its share of problems. Being the only native English speaker on the team, Michael’s concerns with particular pronunciation problems usually ended up being tabled by the rest of the team, and thus he recruited two other native speakers to tip the scales. Since more people were added to the team, team member Baba developed a bug tracker to keep track of all the pronunciation issues that needed to be fixed. Another problem faced by the team was that sometimes the synthesis would yield noisy results, and this was fixed by tweaking their excitation-plus-resonance (EpR) model in a similar fashion to that employed by the Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, birthplace of the technology behind VOCALOID. Lastly, there were deficiencies in the standard English pronunciation dictionary that came with VOCALOID, so the team painstakingly developed a new custom dictionary whose 10,000+ entries were personally vetted by the native speaker team. Incidentally, this dictionary revealed an inefficiency in the VOCALOID software and it had to be fixed before the dictionary could be used.
Eventually, the product was “finalized” in March of 2014, but with the announcement of VOCALOID4 and its growl feature, some extra samples had to be recorded to include in the final release.
VOCALOID 3 Tutorial
The whole interface on a basic level
Hello, I’m going to show you how to create wonderful songs of your own or a cover song by creating good structured lyrics in VOCALOID 3. I have been fiddling with the program and watching tutorials so now its time to summarize what I’ve learnt! Hopefully this will help you, especially for the hard of hearing if you have trouble with sounds like I did.
Creating notes and how to structure them
This is the interface of VOCALOID 3, on the left side there is a keyboard. Higher the keyboard, higher the pitch of the voice, lower the keyboard, lower the pitch. Usually, you would start in the middle to begin.
Now the pencil tool above can create vocals at a note, you can click on the keyboard notes so you can hear an “a” in Japanese or an “ooh” English sound that will determine what your vocals will sound like.
You can create vocals by clicking on the boxes and dragging them, making it as short or as long as you like. You can make them shorter by clicking on Setting(S) above at the top, and Part/Note Length(N) to make them shorter by fraction.
You can see that the bar shows its default, you can change it by writing in Japanese with your English keyboard, it will give response to you even if you have a Japanese keyboard or not. just write in Japanese characters separately in each box such as these;
a,i,u,e,o the five vowels. Sa, shi, su, se so. Na, ni, nu, ne no. and so on, there are 49 in total but there are 110 syllables in Japanese while English has 8000 so leaning the language isn’t hard as an English person. English is typed in word by word, sometimes the word may not work so you’ll have to write the words in by syllable each box.
Phonemes
Webster Dictionary Download
What is a phoneme? In the picture below, I have typed in “like” in brackets next to it shows what the word sounds like, so if you type in the word “me”, it shows (m i) so you would change the “me” to get the “e” sound. Fiddle with the words to get the phoneme sounds you want to make your vocaloid sound better. This is how professionals use VOCALOID to create the human like voices such as Mitchie M’s Freely Tomorrow.
Sometimes if you write in a word and get this phoneme (u:), that is going to give you an “u” sound, you may have misspelt the word so get a dictionary. Or you will have to do it in syllables like I said before.
Making the software sing
Free Vocaloid
Creating the notes and making the lyrics flow nicely to meet your expectations can be a bit tricky. But what I recommend is to sing the lyrics yourself to see what words go high or low to determine what note and how long that note to be. That helps a lot so practice and listen carefully to the lyrics.
The Mixer
The mixer in View(V), Mixer(X) can make the singer sound like its on a microphone or a karaoke like sound by using the gain. Also if you put in a WAV file , it will also make the music louder or softer. To put in a WAV file, click on File(F),Import(I),Wave(W) if it doesn’t play you will have to go to Settings(S), Preference(P) and change the sampling rate to match the WAV file in order to play it.
Tracks
You can add tracks by clicking on Track(T) and Add Track(A). On your second track you can make more lyrics in the background even when the first track is singing, it will sing the second one as well at the same time!You can change the singer by right clicking on the musical editor window, click on Singer(I)and select your singer.
Vibrato Property
By double clicking on the vibrato which is just under your vocal boxes, you can change the vibrato to fast, extreme, normal, slight or no vibrato at all! It will change the way the software is singing. You can also make the vibrato longer or shorter by adjusting it below the box by dragging it or when changing the vibrato, you can change it to make it higher and then halt it or then lowering it down when it sings.
VEL, BRE, OPE ETC
Down below is VEL, DYN, BRE, BRI ,CLE, OPE, GEN, POR, PIT, PBS. They mean;
Velocity – Your boxes made, you can cut the green lines down to make them softer.
Dynamic – To make the voice more dynamic.
Breath – To make your voice breathe! If you make it breathe in one gasp for too long, the singer may have trouble breathing!
Brightness – To make the voice brighter.
Clearness – To make the voice more clear.
Openness – To make the voice more open.
Gender – Higher the gender, the happier the singer is, lower the gender, the sadder (honestly makes the voice sound quite drunk!)
POR – To make the voice sound more relaxed and makes the notes flow.
Pitch – Makes it sing louder or softer.
PBS – It makes it sound more human, like the voice really is singing well with a spirit!
You can use your pencil or line tool to create bends or lines to make the singer sound good, this is really good for making the voice sound like a real human!
