Vocaloid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VOCALOID is a Singing Synthesizer technology and application software developed by the Yamaha Corporation that enables users to synthesize authentic-sounding singing by just typing in lyrics and melody. Yamaha announced its development in 2003 and in January 2004 the first application software product was launched. It was not released as a Yamaha product, but a software package of Vocaloid Singer Libraries developed by third party licensees which included Yamaha’s Vocaloid software.
So far, Leon, Lola and Miriam have been released from Zero-G Limited, UK, while Meiko and Kaito have been released from Crypton Future Media, Japan.
In January 2007 Yamaha announced a new version of the software engine with various major improvements in usability and synthesis quality. Crypton, Zero-G and others have announced plans to release products powered by the new software engine in 2007.
