Check this list out for examples.

That's not the same, but it shows that the technology is feasible.

In a similar vein, the developers at SynthesizerV just announced they have implemented cross-lingual synthesis. That means that voices that were created in one languages can now sing in another language:



There are already voicebanks which already have "English" versions by singers who aren't native English speakers, but they often have heavy accents, and poor pronunciations of phonemes like /r/. There are still slight accents in the cross-lingual versions, but they much more usable.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi, David.

Yeah, I think they're good for demoing the song, but - especially if you're a singer - you're going to quickly hear the difference.

But it's still a useful tool for putting together a demo of a song. Especially when conditions aren't ideal for recording vocals, like when the rain is pouring down on the flat roof above, and someone's playing video games on the couch less than ten feet away. wink

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!

Hi, Bob.

You can always send me a PM, if you've got any questions.

As far as my own vocal synthesis project goes, it's been on hold for the last month, but I hope to get back to it next year. One of the problems is that building a good vocal database is a whole lot of work. It requires recording vocals, manually tagging the phonemes, and lots of fine-tuning.

So if I can't get the quality level high enough this time around, I think it'll just make more sense just to quit. SynthesizerV basically does what I need it to do, and I have a feeling that better Open Source vocal synthesis projects will be around the corner.

But I'll have one more go at it, just because I'm stubborn. wink

I really, really like this!!! Some wonderful and unusual musical changes, and a very cool lyric!! And, although I'm not a fan of the vocaloid thing generally, I think it really works here....and the whole mix is great!! NICE!!! Take care. Greg

Hi David, thanks for your so detailed answer.
I thought it would be a lot of work to do that song.
And I wasn't negative at all, only it takes more to get the human touch right.
And that's been your quest for some time.
I like that.
