Ruby is a youthful female vocalist with a smooth, joyful sound with the power and soul to” kick it out” when needed. In that case the user will need input the phonemes manually or add the word to the dictionary, requiring in both cases to known how the word is written phonetically.Ruby is the exciting new Vocaloid 4 artist from PowerFX.

If a user allows the program to auto-find phonemes and it has a particular word that it simply cannot identify or not is registered in the dictionary, it will automatically write it as a default phoneme ( for English and for other languages). The VOCALOID's dictionary will attempt to match the correct phonemes with the word the user enters, avoiding to have to input them manually. Another alternative is to switch the phonemes (the affected one or the adjacent to it) with an allophone or just a similar sounding phoneme.

Adjusting the Velocity, editing Brightness, the constant sound's Breathiness or raising the Dynamics will often work on some level. To make a consonant sound stronger than the following vowel it may be required to edit the Parameters. Summarizing, the context of the phoneme it may affects its sound. For that reason, the phoneme sounds do not always produce the same results they may sound differently or weakly/strongly according to their previous/following phoneme sound.

If the user tries to enter a phoneme manually that the VOCALOID does not have in its voicebank, there will be no sound at all when the VOCALOID is played back.ĭue the way the sound is recorded and articulated into the synthesizer's engine (which compromises full words and syllables), phonetic and phonological phenomena like the coarticulation and assimilation, where the phoneme sounds are affected by the surrounding sounds, are also reflected on the synthesized words. In addition, the user cannot utilize the phonemes that don't exist in the current voicebank. For example, with English, a language with numerous consonant clusters, as well as numerous vowels which includes diphthongs and a complex syllable structure, requires more diphonic and triphonetic samples than the Japanese, which has a simple syllable structure with practically no consonant clusters and a 5-vowel system. The fundamental difference between them is the number of samples required for reconstruct each language, being determined by its complexity. This way of reconstruction of the words is the same for all the languages in which VOCALOID is available and will use the same method of arrangement for the phonetic library.

As the vowel (VOCALOID:) sounds different for the diaphones s~ɪ (s-I) and ɪ~ŋ, the software needs apply a "smoothing processing" in frequency domain, which blends both diaphonic samples in a coherent syllable fragment (if this weren't the case, the results would be unnatural and glitchy). Using the phonetic system you can input the phonemes that conforms the word, allowing to the synthesizer, pick the correct sequence of diaphones to reconstruct the word. For example, the word "sing" (IPA: sɪŋ, written as in the VOCALOID Phonetic System) can be synthesized by concatenating the sequence of diaphones "#-s, s~ɪ, ɪ~ŋ, ŋ-#".
Vocaloid 4 software series#
This one takes a series of sustained sounds, diphonetic and triphonetic samples from a sample library which are specified by the phonetic system and utilizes them to reconstruct the word reassembling them in accordance to how a word would be phonetically pronounced. VOCALOID uses the method called Frequency-domain Singing Articulation Splicing and Shaping, a kind of concatenative synthesis. As such, Japanese VOCALOIDs are often more precise than English ones on their diaphonetic sounds. This makes separating sounds for the English VOCALOIDs much harder to do. However, for English VOCALOIDs, the phonetic data has to be separated by cutting sections out of the recorded samples, because some sounds simply cannot be gathered unless they were spoken as part of a word. The libraries consist of various sounds recorded and separated for use with the software.įor Japanese the script is much simpler with each phonetic sample successfully divided across the notes with little trouble.

The recording is then transferred to into a library which the VOCALOIDs will pull their results from. The samples are gathered via the provider reading out a script in various keys while being recorded. Note: The following applies to the VOCALOID2 system onwards, while both programs work in a similar fashion, some things may not apply to VOCALOID or work differently than VOCALOID2.
