As one would expect, the whisper version would have a softer voice, and would be suited for such songs. For example, a voicebank could be released with a 'Natural' version, and a 'Whisper' variant.

Previously, voicebanks would be released in various styles. 'Cross-Synthesis' is the ability to combine two voicebanks to create a 'new' voicebank. Of the new features of the editor, two that were highlighted the most in the stream were the new 'Cross-Synthesis' and 'Growl' functions. The price of the standalone editor has yet to be announced. Those that purchased the previous version, Vocaloid 3 Editor, on or after October 10th, will be able to purchase the latest editor for a discounted price of 5400 yen. In a Nico Nico Douga livestream earlier today, Yamaha announced of the latest version of their software, the Vocaloid 4 Editor.

The editor, combined with a set of voice samples called a Voicebank, allow users to manipulate a virtual singer.įor example, Hatsune Miku is one such voicebank. VOCALOID refers to the singing voice synthesis software developed by Yamaha.
