Voice Synth Vocaloid 2 Iso Sa Vsti Crack
Phillipp Schneeberger
I am one of the developers of Cantamus ( ).
We have a quite nice sounding synthesis technology for the singing voice and we are exploring the idea of integrating it into Musescore.
After reading the Musescore handbook I came to the conclusion the only way to do that would be a VSTi. But there I haven't found much documentation about it beyond this: -vst-and-vsti
We need to know how Musescore is sending the lyrics to the VSTi. In particular, it would be ideal for us if we could access the whole score in MusicXML format (or any other format we can transform). I know this can be done in plugins but there is no information about VSTis.
MIDI 2.0 also has Flex Data Messages which can be used to send lyrics. However, phonemization probably needs more than a single syllable to work nicely -- the plugin based approach would be able to look at the full text. Similarly, I'm not quite clear how well VST3 supports it -- VST3.7.9 does seem to have a kTextTypeID and kPhonemeTypeID, but the latter also has a TODO attached to it.
I will say this since this an old post from Jun 2023, now its March 2024. VST's are not the way how Musescore Studio is developing things. If you want to get dedicated sound synthesis to be able to be in Musescore Studio then you should do a collab with developers of Muse Sounds by Muse Group. So you'll need to contact them. From what I heard on your Cantamus website, this synthesis technology really competes with Synthesizer V (what was used to create Hatsune Miku music recordings). If anything you have to email the Muse Group. Someone from Musescore studio devs said this on Discord on March 2024 and I quote:
Option 1.
Step 1. Release it as a VST. Users would need to enter the lyrics into the VST manually.
Step 2. Optionally, contribute code to MuseScore so that MuseScore can automatically transfer the lyrics to the VST.
To my knowledge they haven't done any of these things yet, but I don't know everything that happens in the Muse Sounds team, so maybe they did reach out. But I don't know and probably nobody will know because the Muse Sounds team is not known for being very generous with development updates.
Building this technology into MuseScore is not an option (unless they make all of it open-source), since it's not possible to package non-GPL3(-compatible) stuff with MuseScore. (That's also why Muse Sounds need to be installed separately using Muse Hub.)", Casper Jeukendrup, Musescore Studio developer.
I always suspected that Option 1 was the way to go.
Since manually entering the lyrics is a no-go (at least for a final polished product) we would need to do step 2, maybe exploring what egonelbre suggested above. Despite that, it would be much simpler for use to have the whole score before hand because there are somethings that you can't do unless you know the next notes/syllables.
I don't see why implementing the functionality of sending the lyrics to VSTis could create a license problem as long as we simply contribute it as PR to the project. Besides, other VSTis could benefit from it.
Regarding option 2, it would be great if somebody took care of adding this. I just fail to see what Muse Sound has to do with it. This sounds like Musescore functionality to me not Muse Sound. I'd be happy to learn how those 2 groups really differentiate, to be honest, it is a blurry line for me.
AquesTone is a VSTi plugin developed by Aquest, there are four voice options: Female F1, Auto F1, Male HK, and Auto HK. UTAU Uta Utane (aka. Defoko) uses Female voice 1 as a source for the UTAU default voicebank.
Cadencii's interface emulates the VOCALOID interface very closely. The piano roll can also change color depending on the synthesizer engine being used; for example, when VOCALOID2 is selected as the synthesizer, the piano roll becomes grey and green, and when UTAU is selected, it becomes blue and pink.
It is currently officially available for Windows and Mac OS X. The latest version available is v3.5.4 for Windows and v3.4.1 for Mac OS X. There is also an unofficial port in the Debian repositories at v3.3.9.[1]
On Mac OS X and other Unix-based operating systems, Cadencii requires Wine to be useful. For OS X there is jCadencii, a JAVA version of Cadencii for OS X. The JAVA frontend is actually compiled from a lot of #ifdef JAVA in the C# Code.[2] If you take a look into the OS X .app bundle, you'll still find minimized wine bundles to support the dlls with native Windows code.
It's not possible to use Mono to build and run the CSharp program cross-platform yet, since there is some native Windows code. Workarounds may be possible in a way like pipelight, a method to provide better SilverLight/Flash support in Unix(-like) systems using wine.
Cadencii has its own file format, .xvsq (not to be confused with VOCALOID3's .VSQx). Cadencii can also import and export other synthesizers' project files, such as VOCALOID's VSQ and UTAU's UST file formats. Notably, it can export as MusicXML, making it a popular choice for creating files that work with Sinsy, especially in combination with its ability to import VOCALOID and UTAU project files.
Besides simply being able to import VSQ and UST files, Cadencii can also read the pitchbends (old pitchbend type/Mode1-only for UST), which can be used in combination with Cadencii's ability to use multiple synthesizers, as seen in the example video below (Tori no Uta).
Cantor (and its successor Cantor 2) is a synthesizer developed by VirSyn and utilizes Formant synthesis. It was released at the same time as MIRIAM, and was a rival to the original VOCALOID software. It was sold for 199.99 including VAT which was said to be expensive for its time, but that was due to offering a far greater selection of vocals.
Unlike VOCALOID, it had 50 voices for use, which was far greater than what VOCALOID had to offer upon its release. But because of its design it was more intended to resemble a virtual instrument than a virtual singer. It had capabilities for both German and English, and supported both Windows XP and Mac OS X, as opposed to VOCALOID which was restricted to just Windows XP. However, similar to VOCALOID, it worked as either a stand alone or plug-in and supported ReWire.
The final version of the software, Cantor 2.1 was released on February 6, 2007. Though updates have since ceased, the software remains on sale, and is confirmed compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X 10.5/10.6 versions. A demo is able to still be downloaded from VirSyn's website, although it requires an eLicensed Syncrosoft dongle to be able to download the demo and the full software version itself.[3] The special dongle was included with the boxed version of the software, as well as other software sold by VirSyn. It was not able to be bought with the downloaded versions but could be purchased separately.[4]
Chipspeech is a synthesizer developed by plogue. A retro styled vocal synthesizer created to reproduce vintage vocal synthesizers released in the 20th century. The software acts as stand alone or plug-in software to various DAWs. It can sing and talk and supports two languages: English and Japanese (though Japanese currently does not have talk capability). There are various means to adjust the vocal in the way the user wants, creating some very unique sounds and results.
The main strength of the engine is it can have a multiple number of synthesizer styles built into it. While some like Dandy 704 or Lady Parsec are based on samples recreation vocals much like VOCALOID or UTAU, others like Dee Klatt do not have samples and are fully synthetic sounds. They are instead based on direct input, meaning they recreate to various degrees faithful recreations of their engine, with Dee Klatt's being a fully rendered "live" feed back. For example, along with 5 new vocals since release, the Circuit Bending feature was added in version 1.032. This mimicked the circuit bending method of getting unique vocals from the classic old chips, which allowed for 'one of a kind' results.
As they are based on old technology they are all dated vocals and do not reflect the modern sounding ones. Therefore they at best barely sound human and do not attempt to even sound remotely like an uncanny effect. This can be off putting for those inexperienced with synthesizers of the past who and those who want realistic sounding vocals. The vocals themselves are difficult to find otherwise in their original chip forms, some being impossible to find due to how old their technology is.
Plogue Art et Technologie, Inc is a small company specialized in chipbased technology and aiming to recreate chip effects and sounds and apply them to modern technology. Chipspeech was one of their many ideas they planned for years to create, however, they were held back on the means to execute it. Though they had the technology, they lacked the knowledge. The Chipspeech software was born after they hired a member of their development team with Phonetic knowledge, allowing them to come up with ideas on how to create a vocal synthesizer technology.

Unlike VOCALOID, CeVIO or other synthesizers words are typed as sentences. If used as a plug-in into a DAW, the synthesizer will play each sentence in the keyboard. The software is easy to use but requires some work to master.
The default voicebank is named Yu Niaoniao (余袅袅), however, users can create their own voicebank and take advantage of its larger file feature. NIAONiao can import MIDI files, VSQX files (VOCALOID3 only), and UST files, export tracks as the "Niao" file format (*.nn), and can render vocal tracks directly as WAV, MP3, or MIDI files.
