Roboto Singing Synthesizer Demo (Japanese)

video upload by discoDSP

"Rotobo is a singing voice synthesizer. Write a melody in the piano roll, type a word on each note, and Roboto sings it. The voice is synthesized with no samples, from a glottal pulse source, five formant resonators and shaped noise for consonants. Roboto is free and runs as a plugin or standalone on macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone and iPad."

FEATURES

SONG EDITOR

Piano roll where every note carries a word. A note named + sings the next syllable of the previous word.

Text tab that holds the whole song as text (word:note:beats), so songs can be typed or pasted.

Automation curves along the song for volume, pitch bend, vibrato depth, breath, formant shift and chorus.

Built-in songs in every language to try.

Import MIDI, karaoke MIDI (.kar), UltraStar, LRC lyrics, SRT subtitles and song text, from the menu or by dropping the file on the window. MIDI notes without lyrics are sung on "ah".

Musicalize button: plain lyric lines get a pentatonic melody, one note per syllable.

Synthesized voice with no samples: a glottal pulse source, five formant resonators and shaped noise for consonants.

Sings in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Finnish and Swedish, with spelling rules for each language. Japanese kanji are read on macOS and iOS.
