It looks like quite a few of us are using this software so maybe we need a thread for it. I just found this short on YouTube of a voice I had not encountered - Kevin. Kevin

Yup, that's the one I have. Pretty good male vocal sound.

I talked to David Cuny. Evidently, there are foreign language databases that are useful in English.
I would like to have the AI sing in Spanish.
Here are some lyrics that ChatSonic delivered.
Eh, eh, eh
Una chica guapa con un cuerpo aplaudido
Su cara, su sonrisa, enamora
Su chica linda, su cabello dorado
Alegría, diversión, su carisma de destellos
Baila conmigo, papá, papá
Baila conmigo, papá, papá
Baila, baila, baila, baila
Su chica guapa, la niña de mis ojos
Sus pasos me encienden, imposible escuchar las palabras
Ella me sonríe, me vuelve loco
Su cintura, sus movimientos sensuales
Baila conmigo, papá, papá
Baila conmigo, papá, papá
Baila, baila, baila, baila
Sus giros, sus movimientos, me dejan sin aliento
Sus labios, su perfume, me hipnotizan
Toca mis manos, toca mi cuerpo
Me lleva en volandas con su amor divino
Baila conmigo, papá, papá
Baila conmigo, papá, papá
Baila, baila, baila, baila
Translation to English. I speak Spanish but not well. If any of you can do a better translation please do so.
uh huh huh
A pretty girl with an applauded body
Her face, her smile, falls in love
The pretty girl of hers, her golden hair
Joy, fun, his charisma sparkles
She dances with me, daddy, daddy
Dance with me, daddy, daddy
Dance, dance, dance, dance
The pretty girl of hers, the apple of my eye
Her footsteps turn me on, impossible to hear the words
She smiles at me, she drives me crazy
Her waist, her sensual movements
Dance with me, daddy, daddy
Dance with me, daddy, daddy
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Her twists, her moves, they take my breath away
Her lips, her perfume, hypnotize me
She touches my hands, she touches my body
She carries me on the wings with her divine love
Dance with me, daddy, daddy
Dance with me, daddy, daddy
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Billy

It looks like quite a few of us are using this software so maybe we need a thread for it. I just found this short on YouTube of a voice I had not encountered - Kevin. Kevin Yes, it's an amazing piece of software and has opened the door for me to write songs with vocals again without depending on unreliable pitchy vocal divas. My last 10 or so songs have all been done with Synth V. I own Kevin but am a bit disappointed with it, at least for the style of music I write.

I considered getting Kevin but have not been that impressed by what I have heard so far. I will stick with Solaria, Eleanor Forte AI and Natalie, they sound far more realistic.

I think part of it is definitely how much time you want to spend tweaking each syllable and phrase to fit your music. The more editing, the more realistic. None of the voices sound perfect on MIDI melody import. There's always some work that needs to happen.

Do any of the male English voices allow for more edge/scream as in Rock styles?

So, what's the difference between Synth V and Synthesizer V? Can the vocal synth run on local computer without constant internet connection?
The Dreamtontics website displays two versions: one older version, one AI version.
My studio's computer doesn't connect to internet.
When you buy the software, can you download the vocal library to your local computer, or you need to connect to internet to access their AI database?

As far as I understand it Synth V & Synthesizer V are one and the same. It's usually referred to Synth V on other sites like Wiki etc.
If you are referring to the two versions for the voices, the standard voice is often known as Lite, sometimes free. The A.I. version is the full version.
You will need to be online to use the voices as they refer back to the Synthesizer V site in real time to access the database.

You will need to be online to use the voices as they refer back to the Synthesizer V site in real time to access the database. This is so wrong that it is almost right again  The voice databases are installed locally on your hard drive, and Synthesizer V runs without a network connection. I know this because my DAW is usually offline. When installing (or updating) the app and/or the voice databases, an internet connection is more convenient, but also not necessary.

My mistake, it is Emvoice that needs to be online to access the database as I recall.

This entire Synth vox thing has got me interested because it has come so far from the early days. I'm hearing some really cool things on Youtube that is simply astounding.
I picked up the basic and one of the lite voice databases just to play with it and see if I want to jump into the deeper end of the pool.

@Planobilly It's an advantage to be able to speak the language well that SynthV singers are supposed to sing. Since SynthV works with phonetic sounds, almost any language (with an accent) is possible, I did it with Asereje and it sounds quite useful. However, it involves a lot of manual rework. You can also simply sing the lyrics yourself and then import them into SynthV using Praat (a free add-on tool).

Is Praat developed by Dreamtonics or a third party developer?
My understanding is, each bot can only sing one language, and you need to type in the words/characters of that particular language in order for the bot to work.
For example, Natalie and Solaria can only sing English. Cheng Xiao and Feng Yi can only sing Chinese. Natsuki and Ryo can only sing Japanese.
Also, their pricing mode is confusing. Each voice database costs $79 to $89. But if you buy the Bundle of Studio Pro + Any Voice database, you can get all voices with only $151?

I bought that with my first voice for the $151. That price is for the editor plus ONE voice. Any additional voices I've bought have been for the $79-$89.

Is Praat developed by Dreamtonics or a third party developer? Praat is an open source software that can be used to analyze almost any audio data. Synthesizer V users mostly use it when they make covers of songs, you can extract vocal data (phrasing, intonation and whatnot) from the original and apply it to a Synthesizer V singer. You can also use your own voice (singing that cover) to modulate a virtual singer. In my opinion, a waste of time for people who write original songs. , their pricing mode is confusing. Each voice database costs $79 to $89. But if you buy the Bundle of Studio Pro + Any Voice database, you can get all voices with only $151?
Any voice (from the ones available). Not all voices (of the ones available).

@MusicVillain Praat is free: https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/download_win.htmlEach voice can also sing multiple languages. All words are translated into sound parts and transitions of these parts. You can download the trial at https://dreamtonics.com/synthesizerv/receive. The paid version then has vst, script, AI functions, better voice selection, more tracks, faster rendering and one or the other that I can't think of right now  . Each voice bank is around $80 USD and so is SynthV Pro (comes with Mai Japanese voice bank free). Natalie, Asterian; Kevin and Solaria were recorded in English, Mai has a small? accent. Soon the program will also be able to rap. I think the beta will come soon.

I am seriously looking at the software as well. My thinking is to use it to possibly do background singer voices to enhance my vocal leads. Don't know if anyone here has tried that yet, but if you have, would appreciate some feedback if creating background singer tracks could work effectively.
