"Hatsune Miku NT (Ver.2)" is the latest version of "Hatsune Miku NT" that employs a new singing voice synthesis engine (internal development code: M9) developed exclusively by Crypton Future Media.
Singing demonstration video
We have prepared a demonstration video of the Early Access version of "Hatsune Miku NT (Ver.2)" singing four phrases.
<Mixed and tuned version>
This is a lyric video of the audio that was recorded, mixed, and edited. I hope it will be helpful for you to get an idea of what kind of music you will create with "Hatsune Miku NT (Ver.2)" in the future.
<Solid Printing>
This is the "flat-line" version. I hope it will be helpful to know that "just by inputting the melody and lyrics, it can sing to this extent."
In "Hatsune Miku NT (Ver.2)," we have achieved the "likeness" of Hatsune Miku in the singing voice and our virtual singers through Automatic Control, which was developed by combining a synthesis engine, vocal editor, various parameters, effectors, and machine learning, and we continue to make further improvements every day. We will continue to receive feedback from everyone who has experienced Early Access, and while making further improvements, we plan to release the official version as a major update in the first half of 2025. * Regular users of "Hatsune Miku NT" will continue to be able to use it free of charge.
The Early Access version is available for free to regular users of "Hatsune Miku NT." Please give it a try.
Our research and development team will continue to work hard to provide you with better singing voices and software.

Specifications
- The "Attack Speed" parameter is not available.
- Voice Color: Only supports "Accent."
- Vibrato: The "Vibrato" tab under "Note Settings..." is disabled. Manual input via the automation area shown when clicking the "Vibrato" button in the sidebar is also disabled.
- The "Portamento" option under "Note Settings..." is disabled when Automatic Control is turned on.
- An Automatic Update feature is disabled. Update information will be published on the SONICWIRE website and announced on the SONICWIRE blog. Additionally, users who have already installed the Early Access version and subscribed to the newsletter will be notified via email.
Known Issues
- Manual vibrato cannot be applied from the waveform display section. Workaround: You can manually apply vibrato to any notes by selecting both "vibrato-applied notes" and "non-applied notes" simultaneously, then adjusting the vibrato length from the waveform display section.
- The application crashes when switching a track layer on a full-size piano roll display and then immediately exiting full-size mode after switching layers.
- The application crashes when pitch notes are muted, split, and then unmuted in order.
- The application crashes when unpronounceable elements, such as consonants or typos, are included at the end of a phonetic string.
- VoiceDrive turns off on the duplicated track when duplicating a track.
- The application freezes when pitch notes are moved to a fast-tempo range, and undo or moving them back to a slow range is performed.
- (Under investigation) Rendering waveform abnormalities may occur due to consecutive operations. Workaround: Changing and then restoring the note's pitch to trigger re-rendering improves the issue.
- The plugin may fail to launch in Digital Performer.
