Kind Music Here is my first try with Synthesizer V. I had a 10 year old song for which I originally used Vocaloids. I thought that this kind of a fast tempo electro-pop song would be a good testbed for Kevin, so I used the original Vocaloid file, imported it into Synthesizer V and did some tweaking (including translating the lyrics to English). I also changed the instrumentation to use more recent RTs. I didn't remove all breath and loudness curves from the old file so the sound is bit rough, but I liked it that way. I used Solaria for the backing vocals. It is amazing how the technology has evolved in 10 years, the singing sounds finally better than my own voice  The lyrics tell about my love for pop music RealDrums: TechnoBeat^ST Loop: House-Techno-Trance-kit4beat137 RealTracks: 3787 Bass Synth, ElectroNeonFloorSync Ev 130 2930 Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock8thsBrent Ev 100 1748 Synth, Rhythm ModernDancePopRaveMajestic 1840 SynthPad, PopModernGrooveMellow Ev16 1772 Piano Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkMovin Ev16 130 2818 Guitar Electric, Rhythm GospelSoul8ths 3642 Guitar Electric, Rhythm DublinPopSlowLowSteady Melody VSTi/Elysium Harp Vocals: Synthesizer V Kevin & Solaria Mixed in Cakewalk by BandLab Lyrics: I had an awful dream where John Coltrane improvised woke up to a singing finch guaranteed is his tune recognized. From the first notes of his melody I fell for the trustworthy trills from the triad of lasting love to the seventh of thrills. I found kind music inside me it was strumming a guitar in a clockwork rhythm four beats in a single bar. I found kind music inside me it had harmless poetry a catchy harmony a streamlined sweet melody. I sank into the noise the sand of Stockhausen's score I was lost, but heard your call your major of joy made me soar I fused into your sound embrace the stylishness in your chords your heartbeat made me feel passionate your rhymes I keenly explored. I found kind music... when Pet Shop Boys chanted It's A Sin I experienced the wildest spin when Chris De Burgh sang The Lady In Red I saw your grace, enchanted felt like a newlywed. I found kind music... ------------------ Janne

Janne, this is really unique, and you have managed to further identify the versatility that can be delivered from the program.
The vocaloid worked surprisingly well, with the percussion from the TechnoDrums holding everything together quite strongly.
An upbeat, modern, stylish delivery.

Could be a template for Dollar or Brotherhood of man.
The chorus lyric works but could also be read as a little damning of pop o you could cover a larger demographic with it I suppose.
Well done.
Cheers

Hi Janne,
When I pressed 'play'to listen to your song, I got back to the forumpage to see if I really had a song from you.
That was something different, man!
And you become the second David Cunny in the forum. You have to compete who becomes the number one! Or stay friends...
It's a nice song, with almost natural sounding vocals.
I enjoyed it much, but I have one 'but': I would have liked it more if the tempo was a bit slower. Now the words came in like a mach.., well skip that word. Too sensitive these days, so they come in rapidly.
But I am impressed what you have achieved!
Althoug I like your original vocals too. They sound so disarming. That's what we can you these days, I think
Have a nice weekend,
Hans

Very good!
That artificial vocal was extremely well done - great work on that.
The backing tracks and mix are also excellent.
Super pop music
Two thumbs up

We've listened to the vocaloid evolution on the forum for the past 7-8 years.
What you and others are doing is stunning ... especially compared to the earlier versions.
The programming of the software is far beyond our comprehension but it is easy to appreciate the amount of work that goes into it.
Of course you took it to another level with the cool lyric and mix!
Well done,
J&B

Janne,
An excellent listen.
There is a joyful liveliness to this.
Nice job with Kevin!
Good use of the under-used BIAB Techno/Dance tracks. Put together well.
And a good mix.
I enjoyed it.

Thanks Hans for your very nice comment I'm glad to surprise you, although I have done several more electro-dance oriented tracks before. I cannot compete with David C., he is the master of using the synthesized vocals, I'm just a brute force novice  These kind of songs have to be fast, so that they can be danced and sweated, otherwise it would be a slow ballad for the last dance. But thanks for the thought. I'll be singing in my next song, so you'll get some disarmament Janne
