️ ✏What does this tool offer?
VOCALOID6 is an advanced vocal synthesis program based on Yamaha’s VOCALOID:AI artificial intelligence technology. It is the latest release in the VOCALOID series, which began in 2003. The software allows users to create virtual vocal performances by entering a melody and lyrics, which the AI then converts into natural, expressive singing that resembles the performances of real singers.

VOCALOID:AI technology is based on learning a wide range of human vocal expressions, allowing for the production of more realistic and flexible voices. Users can control the singing style by adjusting accents, vocal frequencies, pauses, intonation, and vocal tremolo, enabling the creation of diverse vocal tracks ranging from natural performances to robotic or futuristic sounds.

VOCALOID6 offers a range of new tools to enhance music production, such as the TAKE function, which allows users to quickly create repeated vocal parts, and the VOCALO CHANGER tool, which allows users to import their own vocal data and reproduce their singing style using the VOCALOID6 voice bank.

The software supports multilingual capabilities, allowing a single voice bank to sing lyrics that combine Japanese, English, and Chinese, giving users greater freedom to write songs without language restrictions. The software also supports all voice banks from VOCALOID3 onward, and older project files can be used within the new version.

VOCALOID6 comes with a collection of voice banks and characters; version 6.9 includes 20 voice banks, featuring Japanese and English voices for both male and female characters. Yamaha’s official store also offers more than 118 downloadable products, including voice banks, packs, and editors.

The software’s features also include integration with digital audio workstations (DAWs) through ARA2 support, compatibility with software such as the Steinberg Cubase series, and the ability to play, stop, and loop projects as well as synchronize data with the beatmap within the DAW. It also supports MIDI file export and includes Steinberg Cubase AI to start music production right away.

VOCALOID6 also provides the free trial plugin VX-β, a research prototype for exploring the future of voice synthesis technologies, in addition to VOCALOID5 voice banks such as Amy, Chris, Kaori, and Ken, more than 100 singing style presets, 11 built-in audio effects, and over 2,000 media libraries containing editable phrases and sound samples.

🤖 Does it include automation?
Yes, VOCALOID6 relies on automation through VOCALOID:AI technology, where the software automatically converts the melody and lyrics into a complete vocal performance. It also uses artificial intelligence to analyze vocal expressions and produce more natural-sounding vocals, in addition to automating voice modulation and reproducing singing styles using VOCALO CHANGER.
