Have you heard of Vocaloid?
Vocaloid(=Vocal+Android) is a vocal-synthesizing software by YAMAHA that enables users to synthesize singing by just typing in lyrics and music notes.
Swedisch company PowerFX and Japanese Crypton made softwares with it.
I got one of the softwares Kagamine Rin/Len lately and began making songs with it. As soon as possible I wanna post it.
The video below is created by the popular software Hatsune Miku.
My Neighbor Totoro
Both of the software and character in the video is called Hatsune Miku. It became popular because Crypton didn't use any singer as other softwares but a voice actress and secondly it allowed user to use the character freely.
However, you can create only singing voice with Vocaloid. So you must use other programs too when you make complete music. And I recommend to choose Vocaloid that can sing English. My Rin und Len can't pronounce L!

Redim told me about that. It sounds pretty impressive, though still a bit sterile. But I can imagine it's fitting to something like mid/late 90s Aphex Twin stuff like this :

Right, the voice fits electronic, though I try to make "Asunaro Sunshine" of Denki Groove!
返信削除Interestingly, many people upload original pop music with Vocaloid on NICO NICO DOUGA (Japanese Youtube, so to speak) and they are more popular than remake songs.
Yeah, bring the Denki Groove !
返信削除There seemes to be quite a buzz about Vocaloid, there are tons of clips on Youtube, too.
By chance, you could give me a little demonstration to show how it works.
