Thisis the official VOCALOID site run by Yamaha Corporation. You can purchase the downloadable versions of singing synthesizer software and Voice Banks, such as VOCALOID6. You can also find all of the latest information on VOCALOID here, such as...

There was initially an exception thrown when I ran it due to the need for a couple of KB patches to Windows 7 detailed on the vocaloid site. Once I installed the patch and the Daina voice bank library, everything came up and is operating as expected.


Vocaloid is of course a Yamaha trademark so it can't be officially used anymore after the software changes. Unofficially, I expect everyone to still refer to Miku, Luka, Len, Rin, etc. as Vocaloids in the same way that Jello and Kool-aid are used for product types beyond the specific brands. Or, here in the US, how long ago people referred to refrigerators as "frigidares."


I've actually been calling them this all along to differentiate them from their less popular cousins. (Usually when I have to explain to someone why 'Vocaloid' itself isnt a license that Volks has, so just because they can release Miku/Rin/Len/Luka, doesn't mean they're ever going to release, say, Gumi as DD.)


I also feel that it's been a long time coming -- especially with some real competition on the market, I'm not surprised that CFM are ready to jump ship. Perhaps a new term will come up to encompass vocal synthesizer programs as whole? Vocasynth maybe? Songware? The fanbase as a whole tends to append -loid to things so it could be we all call them Vocaloids anyway -- I catch myself trying to call Synth-V and CeVIO products that all the time.



Whatever form they take from here on out, I think this will be a positive change for creators and listeners at the end of the day. Miku is still big enough a product to fund whatever CFM do -- concerts included, and genuine competition from some strong synth products might prompt Yamaha to be less archaic in how they handle things. (CeVIO got IA, who was a big enough name to get her own concerts, and Synth-V is getting Yamine Renri as a voicebank, a pretty big name UTAU, plus Eleanor Forte's english is pretty solid.)



I'm excited to see what will come out of this! It was jarring for a moment, but now I'm excited.


Sorry for being so clueless about how this stuff works but does this mean that the software to make songs with Miku's voice will no longer be available? As in no more Miku songs? I haven't looked into vocaloid stuff in a while but I always had wanted to get Miku's vocaloid software at some point. Will that just be impossible now or would it just be bought from some other company? (forgive me as I'm not up to date on this at all and what I remember is from my teenage years)


Got less time to do doll stuff and more time to procrastinate. I'll try to be active here more discussion-wise but no pics or news for a while, unfortunately. Being busy sucks.



Currently watching BNHA, on season 6 and obsessed! (being in a fandom late makes dodging spoilers an issue tho )

More into Nendoroids than BJDs rn, but I'm waiting for a grail of mine and also hoping to get back into that stuff soon!


Vocaloid still exists, it was never owned by the company who make Miku (Crypton), it's owned by Yamaha.

Basically, there have been multiple versions of the vocaloid engine - Vocaloid 1 and 2 (2 is the one Miku debuted on) came with the voice banks, but starting with Vocaloid 3, you had to buy the Vocaloid program and the voice banks separate. (ie, if you by a Vocaloid3(or higher, they're up to 5 now) voicebank, it will not work if you dont have the Vocaloid 3 (etc) program to run it in - like buying a game without the console. As the the thread says, this is just one of the reasons why Crypton wanted out, because they felt you should only have to buy a voicebank.


So yeah Vocaloid will continue to exist and all previous versions of Miku and the other Cryptonloids also still exist (they probably will be discontinued at some point though). Miku/Rin/Len/Luka/Kaito will also continue to exist, but have a separate engine made by Crypton, so songs will continue to exist with the new software - although theres nothing stopping anyone making new songs with the old software either if they have it. People still make songs with the original Vocaloid2 engines after all.


Furthermore in my opinion, I feel like a vocaloid can kind of be compared to bad CGI in a movie. If the movie is good and it has some bad CGI scenes it is generally forgiven as overall the movie was still a good entertaining experience. However if the CGI is bad and the movie itself is bad a lot of time CGI is criticized before a lot of other problems with the movie. I feel vocaloid is very similar to this.


Thanks, White! Is it usable and worth it to you? At 4800 yen + 2400 yen per IAP (is that right for the English ones?), that's hardly a casual purchase. I've always wanted to work with Vocaloids, though.


Can you talk about the process a little? Sounds like you have to import audio then export via iTunes after you create vocals. Can you create multiple voice tracks and export stems? Can you apply 3rd party effects or is there any integration at all?


A little less according to Google...$42.66 and $21.33 at today's rates. Thanks, that video answered some questions...interestingly IAP looked like 2200Y in the video which is different than the app description but that list looked outdated. Still interested in knowing about export options.


I think it is a little expensive too, but like you, I wanted to work with vocaloids, I had the Miriam vocaloid When I had a pc, so this app was the only way to get vocaloid on the iPad, it works on iPhone too


Since the release of VOCALOID5 in 2018, Yamaha has been working on a new VOCALOID:AI artificial vocal synthesis engine.

On October 13, 2022, Yamaha officially released a synthesis program called VOCALOID6. The new VOCALOID6 includes support for an AI-based voice synthesis library and compatibility with existing databases.


It works, but for some reason when I start a new track, or try to add a track. Only Vocaloid:AI and Audio is selectable. The radio button for vocaloid is not selectable. Anybody else run into this issue, or can offer some insight as to what I am doing wrong.
