SynthV Indiegogo campaign for Solaria

[lIlI]

They also released a crowdfund update with extra details:

• 7 total modes: not used in the demo are Clear, Passionate, Solid, and Light
• Solaria's licence agreement has been updated to be clearer and more open
• Eclipsed Sounds are looking for Solaria tips and tricks for a future resources page on their website, submit these via their contact form
• They're also still looking for musicians and creatives to work with, submit portfolios as well (remember to include pricing!)

Random: I love the font they used for the vocal modes

I can really hear the force in her Power mode, can't wait to hear that in more epic choruses!

Solaria's vocal modes are out! I'm testing them out now. I can't wait to hear songs that go from Soft in the bridge to Power in the final chorus (my favourite song writing trope. I'm a simple woman who enjoys changes in dynamics).

*edit*
A special mention to the rasp in this cover, probably not the direct result of the vocal modes, but fits power excellently:



I feel vocal modes are allowing the voicebanks to become more expressive, which is great. I'd love more 'emotion' based vocal modes like passionate: e.g. happy, sad, etc.

An update is out for SOLARIA to deal with some issues users reported. They also mentioned in a follow-up Tweet that a future update will be implemented at a later date in regards to the different volume levels of the vocal modes, but for the moment users can adjust volume, the loudness parameter or mixing with other vocal modes until then.

An edit to add that in the setup PDF you'll now find links to previous versions of SOLARIA if you want to go back to an older version. Just to remember the current EULA applies and that they may not function with some features.

Very glad they addressed some issues so quickly! I feel a lot of synth v voices really need some bug fixes and they just haven't been coming, mostly with vocal modes, so it's nice to see eclipse sound on top of it and listening to the feedback.

 

[lIlI]

Being able to access previous installers is fantastic! There's always slight changes between versions, and it'll be both a reassurance and a creative asset to access their quirks easily.

We've got another update for everyone -- SOLARIA is now on the Dreamtonics store! We also posted the winners of the contest as well as some updates about our website and more! Thank you all for much for your continued support !!

 

[morrysillusion]

so glad to hear solaria is on the dreamtonics store, i am sure it will helps many people discover her that way!

edit: also listened to the song contest winners- what great songs from so many people!

 

[lIlI]

I am unreasonably excited about the possibility of more third party banks being added to a unified storefront, vocal synths really did make me passionate about accessible purchasing options and streamlined online experiences.


If anyone's looking for a great introduction to small Western vocal synth producers and a huge variety of genres, I strongly recommend checking out the winners and runners up for the song contest. So much good stuff there.

 

[Leon]

Woohoo! I hope all the 3rd party banks get added :)

Most Vocaloid vbs are on the Vocaloid store, most Cevios are like in everything, but svs are all sold on different platforms (and some are hard to get), so I hope that the dreamtonics store will become smt similar to the Vocaloid store

 

[Prism]

I hope the taobao exclusive banks will be released there

...love this in the requirements lol

Whoa, totally didn't realise this contest had started. I haven't seen them post about it, and checking back it was announced in a tweet reply: this probably restricted the number of people who were aware that they were accepting entries. Hopefully the extension allows people like me who missed it to participate!

hadnt thought about that- i think when i saw it on my feed twitter showed the extended thread and reply, but with how twitter works i guess not everyone saw that! not sure if that was the only cause but im glad theyre extending it regardless.

 

[MillyAqualine]

Wow, it's such a relief then, because I was already trying to finish my Snow Miku Entry, had to work on my song, and have mandatory written exercices to redact and send before the end of month (basically next week) so it'll ease me some bit and enable me to take some rest before jumping back on it
