Hi all,
Thanks to David Cuny for his help as well as for providing Oscar and Hayden's voices (Synthetizer V).

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/this-sweet-madness-with-david-cuny

When you are always sad
Life sounds all wrong
Just let yourself go mad
And create a new song
Creating songs is my madness
Dreaming my life gives me no stress
When I feel the sweetness
Of words and notes like a caress

This universe
Is my emergency exit
This sweet madness
We will share in it together
Travel with me, let’s be dreamy, we will be free
The World of Songs has no limit

If you are always sad
Life will sound all wrong
So let yourself go mad
And create a new song
Creating songs is my madness
Dreaming my life gives me no stress
And if you hear my S.O.S
I’d like to feel some hopefulness

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

Wow, very good collab! Chris, nice song overall and the melody and instruments really stand out. David is fun to work with on songs in general, and he's a master at those Synthetizerl voices. Congratulations, fantastic outcome.

Super mix.

Brilliant. The voices are perfectly matched to the accompaniment. Interesting lyric. I could listen to more in this genre.

Bonjour Christian
Bravo pour ta chanson et que de chemin parcouru depuis les magneto à bande.
Ces synthétiseurs vocaux sont vraiment extraordinaires .Je suis épaté!
A quand une version en Français?
Amicalement

Salut Laurent,
Je me souviens du temps où j'avais un magnétophone cassette 4 pistes Fostex.
Cela ne nous rajeunit pas !
A mon avis, il vaut mieux travailler son anglais plutôt que d'attendre une bonne version française de voix synthétique chantée.
Moi aussi, je suis bluffé par le résultat de cette voix qui n'existe qu'en anglais, chinois ou japonais.
Merci pour ton message.
Christian

Je pense que l'ajout du français se fera de la même manière que l'espagnol a été ajouté à SynthesizerV.

SAROS est une voix native anglaise. Il a ajouté l'espagnol via la fonctionnalité translingue. Une fois les données de formation disponibles, Dreamtonics a pu ajouter l'espagnol à toutes les voix.

Nul doute que d’autres voix viendront s’ajouter au fil du temps. Mais dans quel ordre ? Je n'ai aucune idée.
