One problem with Synth V is there is no downloadable manual, and the one online is based on the older version and not the Studio Pro version. There is an unofficial manual on the Synth V forum created by a very knowledgeable user.
https://manual.synthv.infoThanks Tryuk!!! This is awesome!
I am beginning to think that AI is in some ways similar to a human vocalist. One quickly reaches the limits of the vocal range and that requires adjusting the key signature.
This exactly! When I set up my first verse phrasing with Kevin, it sounded low and boring. I just had to transpose the whole section up a fifth and it sounded more bright and perfect. With the female vocalists I'm noticing I need to typically transpose an octave higher than Kevin so that they sound good.
So I spend a few hours last night playing and I had a blast learning it.
I need to visit ChatGPT get those lyrics down and finalized.
Check, the ChatGPT was the winning AI and it was literally minutes to do this. I told it the musical style this was for, the name/chorus of the song, number of verses and choruses and how many lines in each. Then I told it I wanted 5 to 10 syallables per line. Boom! Instant decent lyrics. I did some tweaking to fit my song but I would say ChatGPT was 75% of the final lyrics.
Synth V does look like it has a record feature. What I may do as I'm setting up my melody is to sing into a mic right into Synth V. That should capture the rhythm/annunciations of my voice I want in the melody.
Not quite. I found that it only accepts MIDI input, not audio. I reached out to my friend Melodyne and sang out the rough melody to it. Of course I had to drag pitches up and down to get the notes back in key (Yes, I sing that bad). I exported it as MIDI to BIAB. I opened up the piano roll and locked in the timing and length of the notes. I exported that MIDI and brought it into Synth V. I put Kevin on the first phrase and it sounded good. Only issue was that the first word, "started", didn't break into two notes. I Googled a tip that said to put the word in both notes and break the phonemes. I put (s t aa r) into the first note and (t ax d) into the second note. Another cool thing I found is you can change the duration and strength of each letter in the phoneme with a slider control. So the tool does allow you to tweak to your heart's content to get it to sound more real. Lots of learning to go but I'm loving Synth V so far...
