Vocaloid2, the cutey j-pop style singing program.

[Miko Miko]

besides tokyotosho wer can i get vocaloid2, i tried it from tosho but it didn't work or maybe i am a dumbass

[orange.a]

Tokyoto is not the best place to get software. You're not a dumbass you're just too accustomed to download anime/osts/manga/dramacds and nothing else. Therefore you don't know where to get other things .


I downloaded it from isohunt, took 20 minutes, the torrent was REALLY fast.

[Miko Miko]

^ thanks, once u downloaded it is it easy to start up?

[orange.a]

Pretty easy, I got how to make Miku sing pretty fast, the only drawback is that you CANNOT import songs, you need to "synthethize" them in a way that the program detects it and then morphs that into a song, that's why a lot of songs out there are a little different from what they originally sound (like lost my music and god knows).

And there is where the problem lies... I don't know how to do that, so until I can get to put a song in Vocaloid2, I can't make Miku sing (well, I can, but it's pretty hard doing a capella song xD)

Remember that TokyoTosho's a Bittorent traker, you need BitTorrent program to download all you get there . Or maybe the Vocaloid had any seeds.

I don't know how to "import" songs in Miku. I already know that you can't import whatever song you wish and then voicing it, I heard something called Rewire but I don't know that the hell that means :/

Rewire just lets Vocaloid interface with other sound editing software so you have the proper background music. For example, I use Sonar6 and add a karaoke version of a song, then add Vocaloid2 (in sonar) as a rewire instrument. Start up Vocaloid and the two programs will synchronize when playing. This really helps get the timing of Miku's singing match with the song's tempo.
Later when you finish, you'll export the vocaloid track and use other software to add in the music anyway.

As for making songs...I'm working on one but here's a preview...

Oh, I asked this because I read your post in HF xD. A surprise seeing you here!


Could you explain this a little more? How do I "add" Vocaloid2 as a rewire instrument? Is Soundforge enough? Also, I don't understand how they will "synchronize" when playing.

Meh, got the program too, but i just cant read the japanese at all >_> so im planning on giving up lol (or play with it later)

[orange.a]

There's a patch at HF that a user made. It translates mosts of the program menues to english. ^^

The left one looks like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and the right one looks like Hayate, The Combat Butler!

[Ice Climbers]

I am pretty sure the 2nd one is from Hayate no Gotoku, but wow this fast?? Miku sure got around quickly


Hmm i'll check out the english version on HF I guess

[orange.a]

It's in the last page of the thread, if you can't find it ask me and I'll PM you.

[htsuji]

Sorry if someone already put this song up.

As repeatedly said, Miku's database is a Japanese version, so it sounds as if some person who sings this doesn't know English but is really a talented singer.

I'm sure the one who put the music score into Miku really carefully edited each note's paramaters.

Er.. Hayate, I don't think "Miku-Miku Ni Site Ageru" would make a good lullaby

Inserting a ReWire Instrument

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you install your ReWire applications and reboot your computer, the names of the ReWire applications appear in SONAR's Insert menu under ReWire Devices, and also in the Synth Rack view's Insert button popup menu.

To Insert a ReWire Instrument
[*]Open a SONAR project. Do not launch your ReWire application.


[*]In the SONAR's Synth Rack view, click the Insert button, and click ReWire Devices to display the submenu of installed ReWire devices. [*]OR [*]Use the Insert-ReWire Devices command to display the submenu of installed ReWire devices. [*]Click the name of the ReWire device you want to insert.


[*]The Insert Soft Synth Options dialog appears. [*]
[*]Choose options from the Insert Soft Synth Options dialog according to the following:

• If you want to create a MIDI track that uses the ReWire Instrument as an output, check the Create These Tracks: MIDI Source checkbox.

• If you want to create a single synth track that acts as an output for Output 1 of the ReWire Instrument, check the Create These Tracks: First Synth Audio Output checkbox.

• If you want to create separate synth tracks for each of the ReWire Instrument's outputs, check the Create These Tracks: All Synth Audio Outputs checkbox.

• If you want to use existing MIDI and audio tracks to play the ReWire Instrument, uncheck all of the Create These Tracks options. SONAR adds the ReWire Instrument to the audio track input and MIDI track output menus. You need to set an existing audio track's Input field to the ReWire Instrument, and set an existing MIDI track's Output field to the ReWire Instrument. The existing audio track will then become a synth track.

• If you want to open the ReWire Instrument's interface from this dialog, check the Open These Windows: Synth Property Page checkbox (always check this option: ReWire Instruments do not sound unless their property pages are open).

• If you opened this dialog from the Insert menu and want to open the Synth Rack view, check the Open These Windows: Synth Rack View checkbox.

• If you want to open this dialog every time you use the Insert-ReWire Instrument command, or click the Insert button in the Synth Rack view and choose a ReWire instrument from the popup menu, check the Ask This Every Time option. If you always insert ReWire Instruments in the same way, you can uncheck this option so you don't have to deal with the dialog each time. To open the dialog when the option is unchecked, click the Insert Soft Synth Options button in the Synth Rack view toolbar.

[*]Click OK to close the dialog.

SONAR adds your ReWire devices to the audio and synth track Input menus and the MIDI track Output and Channel menus, creates any tracks you requested, adds the ReWire instrument to the Synth Rack view, and opens the ReWire application's interface.
In the MIDI track whose output is the ReWire synth track, click the drop-down arrow in the Channel field to display the names of the available ReWire devices in your ReWire instrument.
Click the name of the device you want to use.
Make sure that the synth track you want to hear the ReWire instrument through has the appropriate ReWire channel listed in its Input field.
Now you can record MIDI data in the MIDI track and hear it through the synth track. If you want to use different synth tracks for each ReWire device, see the following procedure.

Note: Always close your ReWire applications before closing a SONAR project.

After adding vocaloid as a rewire instrument, start up vocaloid (I don't know if this is specific to sonar... maybe other programs will allow you to add vocaloid while its running...)
Open up your project and make sure Vocaloid's output device is set to Rewire. You can find that in Settings>Preference:



I don't know if soundforge supports rewire... Adobe Audition and FL Studio for sure.

And by the way, I just updated the dll again...not really much, mostly error messages, the stuff I didn't want to touch haha... And a little something in the about vocaloid part XD
I'm disabling the old mediafire link. Get the new dll from here instead:
