I feel like I saw news about this before when it was just for PC, but I can't seem to find it. Looks like Hatsune Miku VR, a VR rhythm game, is going to be released for the PlayStation VR in Japan and was available to try during the Osaka leg of Magical Mirai 2019...

Our Resources section has categories for different vocal synth technologies, plus Miku Miku Dance. I'd like to add a resource at some point for learning general music theory. Would it be possible to add something like a general Music or Music Theory category?

mobius017 submitted a new resource: Basic Vocaloid Software Overview - What software you need in order to work with a Vocaloid, and what it does. Read more about this resource...

Well this is interesting. Has anyone else heard about it? Apparently there's a collaboration going on where Miku joins Kabuki actor Nakamura Shido in a Kabuki theater program. Shows run 8/2 to 8/26. Maybe some Mirai-goers will want to take this in, too...

This is something I've been wondering about for awhile. I've seen where people come up with lyrics and then collaborate with people who write melodies. And, of course, there could be the other case, too, where a melody exists and a lyricist creates lyrics. How does that work? The way I think...

This might be helpful for anyone who works with MMD. It's an article that breaks down some study findings of what the most attractive dance moves are, which apparently varies for men and women. Rather than going into individual maneuvers, it's more focused on principles, focusing on what kinds...

I was just wondering what kind of vocal synth merch people enjoy collecting the most. I figured we could have some fun with a poll to find out. Which of the listed stuff have you picked up? Feel free to pick as many as you like! Myself, I have several figures, a poster, a bunch of CDs, some...

So, as the various (apparently photoshopped) images online have tried to inform us, Keanu Reeves is apparently a Miku fan. Reeves has been the subject of a number of memes lately; more recently, people have started submitting their own takes on a scene from John Wick 3. Putting these two ideas...

https://curiosity.com/topics/the-shortest-scientific-paper-ever-published-literally-contained-no-words-curiosity/ Takes maybe 2 minutes to read. The humor in the ultra-concise commentary is worth it :).

Just a suggestion, but I believe the old VO forums were based on vBulletin, while VVN is based on vBulletin's successor, XenForo. VO used to have a spot on your profile where you could store notes to yourself. Does XenForo continue to provide something like that? Every once in awhile, I think...

Just a thought, but would it be possible to tweak the post editor so that the button for saving a draft shows up in mobile view? (The button in question is the one that looks like an old floppy disk. It's on the right side of the post editing toolbar, to the left of the gear-looking button...

So I've been making good on my goal of going through some music theory textbooks. I've gotten through the notation stuff and have arrived at the major scales. As per my book, notes are separated by half and whole steps, which are 1 and 2 keys apart on the piano, respectively. The major scale...

Seemed appropriate, and maybe useful, for all the producers among us, as there are tips for what qualities make people want to repeat songs. And interesting for everyone else, too. There's an Evolutionary Reason Why You Listen to Some Songs on Repeat tl;dr--"Repeatable" songs: Are above a...

There's been something I've thought about off and on since I got my first Vocaloid: what do you do if the hard drive crashes? All things eventually break, and if your hard drive crashes and has to be replaced (meaning you re-install the operating system and all your software--essentially get...

Hey everyone! Halloween's going to be here in about another 3 weeks, and I was curious about if/what everyone's doing to observe it. So I figured we could have some fun with a thread/poll! Feel free to check all of the items that you do. Notes: * Eat other seasonal food (Listing this...

Had a surprising experience recently. I helped someone I know replace the batteries in something, and they told me that they always had difficulty knowing how to put them in correctly. Probably not uncommonly, I guess, I've installed my share of AA/AAA batteries over the years, and I can see...

I have what's probably a really basic question: what do the MIDI names mean? For instance, the names you see for vocaloids' optimal tonal ranges, like C4, F3, etc. I had been thinking that they basically corresponded to the keys on a piano roll, with the letters proceeding A-G from left to...

This might be a bit tough to describe, but can anyone suggest one/more VSTs or other methods that might produce something like a humming/droning sound? Like a choral humming, but you can tell that it was (probably?) synthesized rather than being produced by people actually humming? Like...

As many of us probably know, you technically need the permission of the song's owner in order to make a cover. I'm working on various covers and am trying to avoid violating anyone's intellectual rights. But, of course, there can be some difficulties (language, lack of response, etc.)...
