Yamaha has updated the Vocaloid plug-in and editor to v1.1. You can apply this update to Vocaloid Lola, Leon, Miriam, and Meiko.
Version 1.1 features several enhancements, including:
New Synthesis Engine:
- More natural, intelligible and expressive.
- Selection of overall "singing style". By selecting a different style for the same singer, you can create different characteristics for expanded expressive capability.
- Less tweaking time to get "more realistic" singing.
Powerful and handy "Play With Synthesis" mode:
- "Play With Synthesis" mode enables you to play back the synthesis instantly.
- Toggling between "Play With Synthesis" and "Play After Synthesis" modes for each track enables you to free up CPU usage.
- Also available in ReWire.
Numerous easy-to-use functionality improvements:
- Automatic phoneme conversion of lyrics and automatic syllabication.
- Randomization enables you to slightly shift the Note-on timing and/or the pitch in order to make the sound more realistic.
- Automatic vibrato option.
- Other helpful functionality to increase speed of work.
More flexible "activation":
- LAN device not necessary.
- Web-based offline activation available.
