Vocaloid2

Post by Umiman »

Have you guys seen this yet?

It's this voice synthesizing software done by Yamaha that takes regular lyrics that you input and gets the computer to sing it.

Check it out:

Sounds pretty sweet.

Anyone got a... "legally obtained" copy?

here's a Bouken Deshou Deshou version... which is somewhat listenable. Remember this is done completely on the computer, much like how Microsoft SAM works.

NES games version (A little Links Awakening here)

Vocaloid 1 "killing me softly"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqUDh1ZF ... ed&search=

That.... funny song... the dutch one?

I have no idea what's going on here, but the edits are good. I can't imagine Kyon singing the theme to some gundam song though... maybe that's synthesized too... (EDIT: Okay, I really really really really really really really really have no idea what the hell. Someone who can read Japanese, please translate?)

I hope someone develops this technology... then... just maybe... one day we can have characters in game that can refer to us BY NAME!!!!

err... and that we won't have crappy voicework anymore.

And... here she is singing Negaraku. While it's bad, she actually sounds better than me (and a lot of other people) do singing it. xD

This is Malaysia's national anthem by the way.

Wow. That's freaking insane. Me want.

(I'm guessing you also need to input the notes for the song, so it sings the right pitch?)

Ah, found it

That's a nico remix or whatever you call it. Basically a whole bunch of people get together and sing a bunch of stuff. I've seen a lot. A whole lot of them are on nicovid hence "nico remix."

Anyways, youtube also has a crapload of this stuff.
Yea I posted that before i noticed it was a double post.

I don't really get it. So it isn't Kyon's, Haruhi's, or those other people's seiyus' singing but rather impersonations? Because the voices sound damn similar.

Best guess is some people who sound like the seiyus got together and made the song. It just happens to include Miku. /shrugs :?
