Unfortunately no! But we do have other voices in the works, both male and female.Pelicanomicon wrote:Muhgawd, that tutorial video

Thanks for the response. Lucy sounds remarkable even at this stage, looking forward to what's in store.rodyy wrote:Unfortunately no! But we do have other voices in the works, both male and female.

Sorry for the late reply! Yes we're already testing the PC version. You can sign up on emvoiceapp.com and we'll let you know when it's ready. Or you can join us on Facebook (just look for Emvoice Users)

I'm interested in this thing as more abstract than all of that.fisherKing wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 9:38 pmwe'll have this.... eventually. but why anyone would want a vocal synth to replace a singer is beyond me; outside of the novelty of it (or i guess, for songwriter demos)... who's the artist? and what are you presenting?wagtunes wrote:The problem is, you can't compare vocal synthesis to traditional synth sounds. Trying to accurately emulate a piano or violin or whatever is something most people strive for. Trying to emulate the human voice is something most people hate. Go look at the thread I started where I said I'd pay $1,000 for a vocal synth to be able to truly sound like a real human being where you literally cannot tell the difference. Look at how many people said they dread the day that this happens.fisherKing wrote:i think healthy competition is... healthy. i mean, we use what we choose right? and we all have our preferences (hence, 80% of these forum discussions).
yet still, i hang around here and get into arguments I MEAN discussions. some things we do for fun...
For whatever reason, there is something sacred about the human voice. It's almost sacrilegious to even conceive of a vocal engine that is indistinguishable from a real human singing.
seems to be the limit for a control freak (& i am one, pretty much), but i ALWAYS have others to sing (or whatever) on my tracks, and voila! there's an artist presenting the song...
I'm one of the people who chafed, not at the sacrilege of synthesizing a voice but the sort of ethical issue of copying personality. If the expectation is a real singer, you want a_real_singer or a fully developed AI, which doesn't exist, and may never. _Actual_ personality means memories and emotions and attitudes, fully formed opinions and a worldview (Rachel in the Blade Runner movie). Not gwyne happing during my lifespan anyway. So first of all that thread doesn't talk about anything practical and brought in the desire for personality while naming names. Nothing is sacred like that for me, but there are issues with that idea IME. Copies of personalities distressed me a bit. Again confer Philip K Dick and the consideration <what is the human>.
I'd love to be paying singers and working intensively with one but that isn't happening.
I think there may be enough here to impart some of the affect (the psychological term) of the human voice dealt with carefully. I'm not crazy about the cloud, but then again I don't have space for the samples myself currently. But this is interesting in itself to me.

Here is a new teaser featuring Lucy doing lead and background vocals, and even a bit of (light) scat
And of course since Christmas is arriving it's a Christmas song. We wanted to show an example of what you can with Emvoice One in terms of vocal arrangements.
We're still working on the PC beta, and on improving the speed and reliability of our technology.

Wagstunes you say this doesn’t sound natural enough. But most modern pop music has unnatural sounding vocals. Pretty much all EDM and Pop has highly auto tuned vocals.

In fact, I think that Lucy does sound surprisingly natural, more so than any Vocaloid efforts I've heard. And Lucy, and the underlying technology, is AFAIK just in the beginning of the development cycle. I have high hopes for Emvoice.
