    SynthV Synthesizer V Discussion Thread

    So I read through that DTM Station article posted above. Earlier in this thread it was mentioned that breath can be exported separately. But that's not quite correct. What this new SynthV can do is export the voiced and unvoiced components separately. This means that troublesome sounds like...

    SynthV Synthesizer V Discussion Thread

    Damn. Not available until July 30. I guess my next few songs will have to use the oLd SkOoL SynthV.

    Question Question about Tempo/Meter/Time Signatures

    Another thing to keep in mind is that accents don't have to be regularly spaced. "Dance of the Adolescents" from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring is a famous example where strongly marked accents are placed at irregular time intervals in order to create colourist effects.

    Question Question about Tempo/Meter/Time Signatures

    One thing to keep in mind is that all of the above is very western in origin. Other cultures don't necessarily look at musical time in the same. A favourite example of western academics is Indonesian gamelan, which views musical time as a circle. Additionally, not all western music uses bars...

    【SynthV Original】A Dead House【Eleanor Forte】

    The lyrics for this song come from a four-stanza poem written by George MacDonald. My original plan was to the "A" music for stanzas one and four, and then use the "B music for two and three. However, after hearing it this way I felt that the "A" music needed to be heard twice before moving to...

    Mixing advice please!

    This won' t help with the harmonies, but some of the sound texture may have been created with a fancy delay effect. If you don't have such a beast, Valhalla's Supermassive is free, high quality, and its "Chorus" and "Ensemble" presets should give you something that approximates the above...

    Questions about downloading Hatsune Miku and demo

    It's been a long time since I last used Piapro Studio, but I'm pretty certain that it can only be run as a VST hosted inside a DAW. Or at least that's the only way I ever used it. If you don't have a DAW, I'm sure everyone on this forum can recommend their own personal favourite DAW.

    Well... that'll work, but gaming headsets are far from ideal. Did you filter out the low end on the recordings?

    【SynthV Original】ナイトメアフーディー【Yamine Renri】

    I'll tell ya, my first day with Reaper was horrid. It took a while before I could even get it to make a sound. But by the second day things began to rapidly fall into place. And the interface turned out to be a lot more drag-n-drop than it first looked, especially once when I discovered that the...

    【SynthV Original】ナイトメアフーディー【Yamine Renri】

    There’s definitely a lot to say about this track. Work began many months ago, but that was put on a lengthy hiatus due to school. When I finally managed to finish the song, I had to wait a few extra weeks for the lyrics because りくりくりhad become busy with work. In the end, however, things turned...

    I too have wondered if the nasalness in vocal synths is a byproduct of the concatenative* synthesis methods that they use. Similar to how I wonder if the resonance issue with SynthV voices at D5 and above are a byproduct of SynthV rather than the voicebanks themselves. *Concatenative: Yet...

    Best way to get rid of a background sound in recordings?

    If it's an intermittent click you're trying to remove, noise removal/reduction techniques won't be effective. Your best option is software that can do spectral editing. Audacity is free and can do spectral editing, but I'm not sure how good it is. Reaper also has a free unrestricted trial, and...

    Unpopular Opinions

    Instead of an unpopular opinion, I'd like to offer an unpopular prediction: SynthV 2 will stomp all over Crypton's NT voice synth. (At least from a technological perspective. Beating sales will be tough because of the established popularity of Miku and friends.)

    Question How to Make an Arrangement of a Song?

    I don't think you can easily teach arrangement on an internet forum, especially because it's more art than science. (Although there is a small science element to many arrangements.) However, if you're using a piano-based MIDI file as a basis for your project, it's likely that the piano...

    Question How do i go about making covers when i can't find a MIDI for the song i want?

    There are a bunch of programs that do automated and/or semi-automated MIDI transcriptions. But I can't give any recommendations because I've never used them. Just google and see what you find.

    Question How to create vocal chops(?)

    If I were to do something like that I would load the relevant word(s) into a sampling synthesizer and then sequence the pitch changes with MIDI. To help with the choppy effect, I would set the cut off for each note to be sudden rather than gradual.
