The Yamaha Vocaloid Keytar Is Super Rare & Super Strange

Published on May 9, 2018

"At Superbooth 2018, Yamaha's Blake Angelos gave us a quick intro to the Vocaloid VKB-100, a strange and rare 'singing keytar'.

The Vocaloid VKB-100 is essentially a keytar built around the Vocaloid vocal synthesis engine. It's currently only being sold in Japan."

Hatsune Miku, Gakken Pocket Miku

Published on Nov 25, 2016 ISOTROPOSPHERE


"CGI / Virtual character, idol sensation Hatsune Miku (developed by Crypton Future Media) coupled with Yamaha's NSX-1 sound chip technology (eVocaloid) were paired together in Gakken Education Publishing Company's Pocket Miku product.

About the same size as a Stylophone and similair useage with a wired stylus for the keyboard section. The Pocket Miku is a formant synthesizer used for vocal creations. Cool options and capabilities for the cost of the unit.

This is my first use in a light jam video with minimal use before this video in experimenting and getting used to the functions of the device.

In the video i have locked a 2 second loop in the Clouds module from Mutable instruments and this is being modulated by an lfo for the position cv and is in trigger mode being fed from the End of Cycle clock on a Make Noise Phonogene module. The Phonogene is also providing a drum sound to the 4MS Noise swash module which is the grungy sound heard here. Phonogene timing and speed is being messed with by a cv coming from a Flame knob recorder V1.

Live Pocket Miku track is being run through a developmental delay module from Synthrotek and is the only effect on the Miku in the video.

Please comment if you enjoyed this and want to see more of her.

Enjoy......."

Why post this?

Being subbed to 'synthesizer' on YouTube I've been seeing a new dance cover of this daily. Been losing my mind. I've been waiting for a version to actually feature a synth to post it. None yet. So why post this now? I finally looked it up. It turns out the vocals are 100% synthesized with Yamaha's vocal synth engine Vocaloid. And there you have it. And of course it's a happy song about synthesizers! Enjoy! BTW, this dance currently dominates the term "synthesizers" on YouTube for new videos.

Steve Winwood - Valerie

YouTube via polysmart. Vocaloid, Prophet-5 and Linn Drum.
"This time it is a rendition of a classic track from Steven Winwood's 1982 album "Talking back to the Night". Chances are you've heard the 2004 remix "Call on me", which actually samples only a few seconds.

The vocal is recorded with Yamaha Vocaloid, of which I only have a female singer available, so please don't read too much into the song's lyrics. :)

The original track can be found here: [below]

A few boring details:
* Tempo: 116.33 bpm
* Played mostly in A major.
* Original equipment: only a Linn Drum LM-1 and a Prophet 5 (in mono/poly stack)."

Hatsune Miku - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) [初音 ミク] [CG Voice]

YouTube via SomethingUnreal

"Please read this before commenting! --
The Japanese computer-generated voice Hatsune Miku (初音 ミク) from Vocaloid2 singing "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", originally by 'The Proclaimers'. Hatsune Miku is the first voice in a series of 'character voices' produced for Vocaloid2.

The video was not originally intended to be the main point.
I just synchronized some animations with the song because I wanted to put it up here.
EDIT: And damn, it really suffered from the YouTube compression. For the first time, it also seems to have de-sync'ed the video and audio too. Anyway...

Because the voice is intended for Japanese lyrics, the voice doesn't sound 'fluent' in English, but that doesn't stop the cuteness. :P
(In fact, it kind of adds to it...)

There is a lesser-known CG voice doing the backing singing (on the right speaker - there's a stereo version available, check the bottom of this description). It's a voice I made using Virtual Singer on Melody Assistant. If the second Vocaloid2 voice in the character series had been released yet, I would have used it, but unfortunately that will not be released until the end of December 2007.

I know I got lazy with the video editing near the end, that's what happens when you've spent 11 days working on it. <_<

I did not make any of the illustrations used in this video! I just synchronised them to the lyrics or beat.
If you want to know anything about what's in the video, please CHECK THE CREDITS at the end! ^^

ENJOY~! =D"

YouTube via KawaiFS630. For those that don't know what Vocaloid is, I created a Vocoloid label with this post. Click it for some more info in prior posts.
"IMPORTANT: About the "lyrics": are pure randomly (Excepting Du-di-da!). If you see a strange word, please send me a message, please :)

An small experiment. With random syllables, I put Hatsune Miku on a songs you can´t imagine...(Some, yes, but other songs, no xD) with aleatory hardware-keyboards on all songs, you can heard a Korg M1 on one, a Casio SA-1 in another...

The list (In order):
- Battle Garega level 1
- Lolo 2 in stage music
- Kid Icarus underworld
- Wave Race Dolphin Park
- Lufia 2 town
- Sparkster level 1
- Starwing Corneria
- Ristar Du-di-da!
- Dragon Ball Cha la head cha la
- Dragon Ball GT Ending

Of course, this is a small joke. I like these songs, and this is a funny homage to these authors that put his songs on anime/videogames

Enjoy! :D"

KORG DS-10 Japan Release Date

And we have a release date... for Japan.

July 24, 2008, only at Amazon Japan

Worldwide will come. via Cnet where you will find the full article. An interesting side note is that the people behind the DS-10, AQ Interactive, brought us Hatsune Miku, the "Vocaloid2 girl." Hatsune Miki is an anime character that uses the Vocaloid engine - she will sing whatever text you enter. Image below for reference - I went with the work safe one.

"Korg DS-10 is approved by Korg (I don't know what "approved" means actually!), but will not be released from this firm. A Japanese game developer, AQ Interactive Inc. of Tokyo, will distribute DS-10. Actual development has been done by Korg and Cavia, Inc., another speciality game developer in Tokyo.

The original MS-10 (price 53,500 yen in 1978; US$300 then) was a monophonic, single oscillator job. DS-10 simulator works as two synthesizers (each of them, dual-oscillator affair), since Nintendo DS has dual-screen, upper and lower.

Adding to this two tracks (or two synthesizers), four tracks of drum machine sounds have been built-in. Altogether, DS-10 can be treated as six tracks, 16-step synthesizer/sequencer. Maximum, tune of 99 phrases long can be produced.

Three ways of note entry input: Touch-control screen, keyboard screen, and X-Y matrix screen. All three of them controlled by DS stylus."

Vocaloid PRIMA

"PRIMA is a virtual female vocalist modelled on the voice of a professional soprano singer.

Once PRIMA is installed into your PC she will allow you to create synthesized singing of unprecedented quality and remarkable realism.

Prima will hit those high notes every time with perfect accuracy.

Whether it's soaring leads, harmonies or backing vocals, Prima can sing any word from the English language (and other languages too with a little work).

Prima is also very well suited if you want to be adventurous and experimental, since her voice can be easily modified and shaped in many ways." Hmm...

click here for more info and some pretty impressive samples.

Vocaloid

This is kind of interesting. Supposedly you can type in whatever words you want along with the notes you want played, and this software will sing it for you using recordings of actual singers to sythesise the singing. I wonder what kind of crazy samples you can create with this for further processing. Think about that for a bit. There are some trippy samples on site. Title link takes you there. Demo version here: Zero-G

"VOCALOID is a vocal-synthesizing software that enables song writers to generate authentic-sounding singing on their PCs by simply typing in the lyrics and music notes of their compositions. The software synthesizes the sound from "vocal libraries" of recordings of actual singers, retaining the vocal qualities of the original singing voices to reproduce realistic vocals. The software also features simple commands that enable users to add expressive effects - such as vibrato and pitch bends - to their synthesized vocals."
