Как пользоваться?

Разработка Vocaloid началась в 2000 году и изначально не планировалась как полноценный коммерческий проект. Однако с помощью Yamaha они превратили программное обеспечение в коммерческий продукт и выпустили первую версию Vocaloid в 2004 году. С тех пор они прошли долгий путь, их пятая версия Vocaloid (Vocaloid 5) была выпущена в 2018 году. Сегодня Я здесь, чтобы поговорить о Vocaloid 5 и дать вам полное изложение того, что это такое.

Ключевая особенность Vocaloid

Vocaloid 5 Standard включает 4 банка голоса (виртуальных певцов), более 2000 предустановленных фраз, более 100 предустановленных стилей пения и 11 звуковых эффектов. Он совместим как с Mac, так и с Windows и может использоваться как VST в вашей DAW или отдельно. Vocaloid 5 Premium поставляется с 8 голосовыми банками, но имеет такое же количество предустановленных фраз, стилей пения и звуковых эффектов, что и стандарт.

Мой опыт

За последний месяц мне пришлось использовать и экспериментировать с Vocaloid 5 и тем, что он может предложить. Сама программа очень проста в использовании. Через несколько часов я смог легко ориентироваться и выполнять любые задачи. Редактировать вокал и мелодию можно вплоть до слога. Вы можете изменять высоту звука, динамику, тон и настраивать различные эффекты, чтобы получить именно то, что вы ищете.

Помимо программного обеспечения, меня также впечатлило количество предоставляемого вам контента. Благодаря 4 голосовым банкам и тысячам вокальных предустановок у вас есть невероятное количество контента, с которым можно поиграть. У них также есть более 50 голосовых банков на своем веб-сайте, поэтому, если вы ищете что-то другое, у них это будет.

В заключении

В целом, это должно быть одно из самых впечатляющих программ/VST, которые я когда-либо использовал. Тот факт, что мы можем создавать тексты, мелодии и настраивать все, от звуковых эффектов до вибрато виртуального певца, ошеломляет. Кроме того, он доступен по цене, прост в использовании и содержит массу контента. Я очень благодарен Vocaloid за то, что позволили мне испытать их удивительный продукт, и я с нетерпением жду того, что ждет нас в будущем.

How to install VOCALOID Hatsune Miku V4X

Last updated on December 4, 2021

I recently purchased Hatsune Miku V4X from Amazon. I found the installation process to be very frustrating due to the Digital Rights Management (DRM), registration process, and lack of English documentation.

I’ve since installed the software a few times. Once on my old laptop, and once on my new laptop. I’ve learned quite a bit from the process, so I’m writing down my notes. These are the things I wish I knew from the beginning, things that I think should have been documented in English and included with the box.

Hatsune Miku V4X is just a collection of soundbanks for VOCALOID 4, not a standalone program. To use said soundbanks, I could either use VOCALOID software from Yamaha, or Piapro Studio from Crypton Future Media. I was shocked to learn that I couldn’t just run Piapro Studio as a standalone program. No such standalone exists for English or Japanese versions, but it does for Chinese! This was frustrating at first, but I learned that Piapro Studio is accessible as an audio plugin (VST) in just about any mainstream Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).

The setup requires several steps. Here are the steps, and the order in which I think they should be executed. I’m also sharing my thoughts because there are a lot of things I think CFM could do better.

1. Create a Crypton Future Media Account

There is Japanese registration which requires a Japanese mailing address, and there is English registration which is more flexible. Here is the link to English registration. https://www.crypton.co.jp/reg_en

2. Add your License Keys to CFM Account

Your license keys are found on a yellow-orange card in your software bundle box.

This example card shows one of two sides– the product keys are on the reverse.

Unfortunately, Crypton Future Media’s website is a bit difficult to navigate. Partially due to lack of internationalization, and partially due to bad design choices. The page you need to be on to register your product is titled, “My Page” — https://ec.crypton.co.jp/en/mypage. Click the orange button labelled “+ Product Registration” then follow the prompts.

Click the button labelled “+Product Registration”

3. Hatsune Miku V4 English

For whatever reason, Miku’s English soundbank isn’t on the CD. It must be downloaded from CFM’s website. The download link doesn’t show up until you complete step 2 and register your V4X product with Crypton Future Media. The link doesn’t even look like a link to me because of how it’s styled, but it is definitely a link which will take you to https://ec.crypton.co.jp/mypage/license.

https://ec.crypton.co.jp/mypage/ — These bold orange titles are actually hyperlinks

Can you believe the picture above is from the same CFM website as the picture below? They both use different fonts, languages, color schemes. Who designed these?!

https://ec.crypton.co.jp/mypage/license

4. Decide which DAW to use

Decide whether or not you need PreSonus Studio One Artist Piapro Edition. PreSonus Studio One is the DAW that comes bundled with V4X. If you already use a DAW such as Logic, Ableton, Tracktion, FL Studio, etc. You don’t need PreSonus Studio One and I would recommend that you skip this step. If you don’t have a DAW, you are going to need one. In this case, go ahead and proceed to create a PreSonus account. https://my.presonus.com/login

5. Activate your PreSonus license

Skip this step if you will not be using PreSonus Studio One. https://my.presonus.com/home

Click that big orange button that says “Register A Product”

Follow the prompts and type the Studio One License key from your V4X yellow-orange license key card into the prompt.

6. Download PreSonus Studio One

Skip this step if you chose not to install PreSonus Studio One.

7. Install Crypton Future Media VST

Install Crypton Future Media VSTs using “Crypton Software Installer” found on the CD. You have to choose the correct installer which matches the CPU architecture of your PC. Either 32 bit or 64 bit, don’t install them both. You definitely need to put a checkmark in the box to install the CFM Piapro Studio VST. I don’t know what CFM Mutant VST is, but I installed it anyway.

8. Install Miku’s Japanese voice

Miku’s Japanese voice bank installer is on the CD in the folder labelled, “Hatsune Miku V4X Installer.” This also installs ACTIVATE4 which we will use in the next step.

9. Install Miku’s English Voice

Miku’s English voice bank will be in the zip file which we downloaded in step 3. Find the file “39820_win.zip” in your downloads folder and extract it. Once extracted, browse to the folder “MIKU V4 English Installer.” Run setup.exe in the folder.

It is not necessary to run any of the other files in the extracted zip folder, because they are the same as the ones on the CD.

10. Activate Hatsune Miku voice banks.

Do this by running ACTIVATE4 which was installed in step 8.

ACTIVATE4 shows up as a desktop icon, as well as your start menu.

ACTIVATE4 offers a choice to bind the license to the hard drive OR network card. This is confusing and brings up a lot of questions which I get into at the bottom of this article. I just went with the network adapter as I am more likely to make changes to my storage volume than I am to my network adapter.

Be sure to tick the option to activate multiple serial numbers so we can activate both Japanese and English voice banks in once step.

Activate multiple serial numbers Enter both voice bank license keys here, one per line.

11. Celebrate.

The software is installed and ready to use. I recommend watching video Tutorials on how to use Piapro Studio, as there is a lot to it. For basic instructions to get started, here is what I do.

My complaints with Hatsune Miku V4X Software Bundle

I am wholly opposed to the method of DRM employed by Crypton Future Media. The license is bound to hardware. This brings up a lot of questions.

I answered some of my own questions through trial and error. Yes, I am able to transfer the license to a new PC. This is done using the Vocaloid Deactivation Tool. First, I used Vocaloid Deactivation Tool to remove the license from my old PC. Then on my new PC, I installed all the software, and ran ACTIVATE4 software on the new PC. Using ACTIVATE4, I bound the license to the new PC. Issue solved, right? No, not at all. What if my computer gets destroyed by a fire, and my license is still bound to the network adapter of my burnt up computer? It would be impossible to run the Vocaloid Deactivation Tool at that point.

Keys must be input multiple times. Once on the CFM website, and once in ACTIVATE4. CFM binds the license keys to the user account, and the hardware. Why not just bind the keys solely to the user account?

The box comes with several instruction sheets, all of which are in Japanese. The silver lining here is that this is one more reason to learn Japanese! The down side is that the software has an English voice bank… Why are there no English instructions to match?

Conclusion

The setup process is a confusing mess, and I hope Crypton Future Media can work out the pain points in the future. Generally I wouldn’t put up with this kind of install process and I’d send it back. I make an exception for Miku!

One final note for nerds… Piapro Studio runs great in both Wine and Virtualbox. This means that Miku can run on Linux!

Thanks so much for reading this article. If you have any suggestions on how I can make it better or more easy to follow, let me know in the comments below.

Looking for VOCALOID trading cards?

I bought VOCALOID5, but I can’t find the serial codes for each Voicebank.

There is no individual serial code in the Voice (Amy, Chris, Kaori, Ken) attached to VOCALOID5. After installing all the voices, execute authorization using the serial code of VOCALOID5 Editor. Then Amy, Chris, Kaori, Ken will be authorized. On the other hand, CYBER DIVA II, CYBER SONGMAN II, VY1, VY2 included in «VOCALOID5 Premium», those are necessary to execute authorization using individual serial codes distributed at the time of purchase.

No, please authorize with the application «Activate4».

I want to buy the VOCALOID 5 Upgrade Version, but I lost the serial code of previous VOCALOID Editors.

If you lost the serial code, you can’t purchase the upgrade version. In case of a packaged product, the little sticker with the serial is inside of the DVD case. We can’t reissue your serial code if you lost the serial of the packaged edition. In case of download version, the serial code is described in the order confirmation mail etc. arriving at the time of purchase.

VOCALOID5 (commonly shortened to «V5«) is the current successor to the VOCALOID4 engine by the company YAMAHA Corporation.

The software was released on July 12, 2018.

Contents

History [ ]

The first hint that VOCALOID5 was about to be released appeared in late June 2018 when the announcement of several VOCALOID retirements were being made at the VOCALOID SHOP. Many took this as speculation as to preparation for a new upcoming version of the engine, as this happened when VOCALOID3 was replaced with VOCALOID4, and several things occurred including a website overhaul. [1]

The first official «leak» also appeared in the form of Haruno Sora, a VOCALOID/VOICEROID by AH-Software Co. Ltd., whose Amazon description referred to her as a «VOCALOID5» vocal. The release date was noted to be July 26, 2018, indicating that VOCALOID5 may be released before or on the same day. [2] [3] [4]

VOCALOID5 was later released on July 12, 2018, hours after both the website updated and Sora was leaked. This new version introduced 4 new vocals: Amy, Chris, Kaori, and Ken. VOCALOID5 was confirmed to release in two versions: Standard and Premium. Standard included the new 4 vocals while Premium included the same vocals in addition to CYBER DIVA II, CYBER SONGMAN II, VY1, and VY2. Amy, Chris, Kaori, and Ken replace the VY series and act as the new Yamaha standard vocals.

An upgrade offer was allowed for all versions of VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4 to the new VOCALOID5 version, including VOCALOID NEO and VOCALOID Editor for Cubase. In the past offers had only been given to direct upgrades from each engine version to the next.

An upgrade offer was given to those who purchased the «IA DAW PACKAGE». This would upgrade the engine side of the package to VOCALOID5, though IA remains a VOCALOID3 vocal. [5]

In addition to the departure of PowerFX Systems AB., Internet co., LTd have confirmed they are not making any V5 voicebanks. [6]

Updates [ ]

Windows 7 Support End [ ]

On the 1st Jan 2020, Yamaha announced Windows 7 support would end. This impacts users with that version of the Windows OS. [18]

Requirements [ ]

Additional installation notes [ ]

Note these requirements only apply to the VOCALOID5 engine itself. Users need to check each VOCALOID package and its requirements before installation as some variation may occur between releases. When used as a VST/AU together with a DAW, the operating requirements of the DAW must also be met at the same time.

The license, much like in VOCALOID3 + NEO and VOCALOID4, still allows the user to install on either Windows or Mac, though they can only have one or the other. The software must be uninstalled from its current OS to be able to install on the opposing one. However, note that regardless 1 license of VOCALOID5 is given upon purchase, therefore VOCALOID5 cannot be installed on multiple computers at the same time. This is the same for all voicebanks as well as the engine so while the user can have the installation on either Windows or Mac, they cannot install it on both or multiple computers. [19]

VOCALOID5 installs according to the version of the OS, meaning an English OS will result in the VOCALOID5 interface being in English when installed. Users wanting the software in any other language have to change their language OS to force VOCALOID5 to be installed in that language. This is different to VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4 where the language was selected upon installation. [20]

Ken is the default vocal for VOCALOID5 and the engine will always revert back to his voicebank if an issue occurs, though this can be changed to other vocalists if the user doesn’t want him to be the default vocalist. [21]

We urge readers be considerate and careful when supporting unconfirmed projects, especially if they ask for financial endorsement.

Starter packs [ ]

In October 2018, a new offer was put up for «Vocaloid5 Plus». This was a 5% discount for either version of VOCALOID5 plus one of the 70 voicebanks offered for sale on the VOCALOID SHOP from the VOCALOID3,VOCALOID4 and VOCALOID5 range. This did not include upgrade offers and was available only to the Japanese version of the site. Any Vocaloid bought this way is considered a «Starter Pack» release. [22]

On the English version of the VOCALOID SHOP, there are starter packs available with either the Standard or Premium version of VOCALOID5 included. These starter packs can be bought with voicebanks such as Fukase, Macne Nana English, and Megpoid English. [23]

A upgrading campaign was announced in April 2019. This allowed anyone who had a 16 digital serial code to get VOCALOID5 cheaper. The campaign allowed any VOCALOID2, VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4 product to get the discount, and applied for even voicebanks Yamaha often did not normally attach promotions to such as Sweet ANN or Prima. [24]

VOCALOID PHRASE PACK SERIES [ ]

In December 2018, Vol.1 of a new series called VOCALOID PHRASE PACK SERIES was released. This expanded the phrases VOCALOID5 contained within its library. Providing the user had the VOCALOID5 engine, these would be released for free. They are similar to the past VOCALOID-P data series and like the previous series are supportive examples of Vocaloid capabilities.

A second pack was released on the 22nd of April 2019. [25]

Examples of usage [ ]

New features [ ]

For a list of VOCALOID5s new parameters see Parameters

In addition to importing VOCALOID3 vocals, VOCALOID4 vocals can be imported.

As mentioned, all new purchases of VOCALOID5 come with 4 vocals: Amy, Chris, Kaori and Ken. This is a first for any new version of the engine. Outside of «Starter Pack» versions, Vocaloid has always come with no vocals included with the standard editor. Therefore, any new VOCALOID user can get started without having to purchase additional vocals. This also means every user who purchases VOCALOID has access to both English and Japanese voicebanks.

In addition, the VOCALOID software now comes with 1,000 lines of pre-set text for both Japanese and English voicebanks and 1,000 audio samples. In terms of the sample text, the text given will be dependent on the vocalist. For example if Amy is selected then only the English phrases will appear. But if Ken is selected, only the Japanese ones will appear. These are mostly used to easily create loops.

10 pre-set «singing styles» are able to be used and so are 11 audio effects. When choosing the singer, a list of pre-set «types» (including «Breath», «Looped», «Robotic», etc) appears. The «Types» can then be coloured to give an expressive tone (this function is similar to the «colour» adjustments made via E.V.E.C.), such as adding Growl, Brightness, etc. This allows all vocalists within VOCALOID5 to produce a unique tone suitable to the user’s needs. Note that as with any such function (see E.V.E.C.), some vocals do not handle some combinations; one may handle «Robotic» better than another. Trial and error is involved like anything else and recommended tempo/vocal range still play a part in results. Many of these are similar or reused from the VOCALOID NET service.

ASIO can now be used as well as an audio stream source, if the audio device supports it. ASIO will result in lower playback latency and smoother audio playback. MIDI Keyboards can be used for real-time recording, though this was part of VOCALOID Editor for Cubase it had not been a feature of VOCALOID itself.

It is AU (Audio Units) Compatible.

Refinements [ ]

Additional vocals are no longer referred to as «Plug-in Libraries Databases» (VOCALOID2 and VOCALOID3), «VOCALOID libraries» (VOCALOID4), and other names but are now known as «Add-on Voicebanks». A minor change of classification, though the use of «voicebank» is notable. Previously «voicebank» had been used in English speaking communities as a shorthand or common term to refer Vocaloid library database as a simplification. Later the term had slowly seen an increase in usage over time among studios. As noted by Gizmodo unlike all past VOCALOID versions, VOCALOID5 has the engine and VOCALOID Library are now more interlocked with each other, which is why it is now referred to as a «voicebank». [26]

A new «Vocaloid4.5» version was offered within VOCALOID5 to VOCALOID Editor for Cubase users which continued the use of the VOCALOID4 Editor for Cubase. This version lets users import VOCALOID5 vocals into the editor. Both versions can be used for the same project. [27]

The GUI was overhauled and performance improved during rendering. It is now easier to both adjust perimeters and each has example presets for ease of use. Several of the perimeters have expanded functions for finer adjusting and control.

VOCALOID5 can automatically attempt to insert breaths where expected if the user allows it. [28] GWL can also be treated the same.

VSQ and VSQX files are replaced with VPR file types. This engine can read VPR, VSQX, MIDI (SMF), and WAV files.

The engine now supports up to 32-bit equalising (VOCALOID4 only supporting 16-bit) and up to 192 kHz rates while VOCALIOID4 supported up to 90KHz.

32 tracks can be supported, this is double the amount of all past versions of Vocaloid which only supported 16.

ReWire returns, this was absent since VOCALOID2 as a capability of Vocaloid, being excluded from both VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4. It is, however, unsupported and may encounter issues. [29] In addition VST (VST2) support returns also having been removed from VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4. However, VOCALOID5 cannot be used as both a standalone or VSTi, therefore to switch between the two users have to close their current version. [30] VST 3rd party plug-ins are unsupported. [31]

DJTECHTOOLS also noted in their review that VOCALOID5 is much more realistic sounding then VOCALOID4. [32]

VOCALOID5 is better then VOCALOID4 at adjusting the wave form and is suitable for more delicate adjustments. This is especially useful for English Vocaloid voicebanks. Consonants can be checked for their timing and locating problem phonetics is much easier. [33]

Known issues [ ]

VOCALOID2 vocals are unsupported in this version entirely and a direct V2 → V5 import is impossible.

VOCALOID5 does not support XSY. [34] While few VOCALOID are impacted by this greatly, the ARSLOID package was left with two voicebanks «bright» and «soft» unable to access XSY. The result is the pair are left only able to act as low quality voicebanks. The XSY function got replaced with «Styles/colours» which create more stable vocals. While XSY allowed two vocals to be combined to create new ones, depending on the combination, the new vocals were entirely different from the vocals used. Style/colours is more reliable and stable, but does not allow the same level of vocal creation. This mostly impacted those who used XSY for new vocal recreation, but also impacts even those who use XSY for its original intended function, which was allowing smooth transaction between voicebanks.

VocaListener cannot be used in VOCALOID5. [35] Job Plug-ins are completely unsupported in VOCALOID5. [36]

Some issues were found upon initial release including a bug that caused the engine to crash upon exporting and a comparatively longer loading times between editing the file and playback.

An issue with the Ver.5.0.2 update was when dragging the drawn parameters caused the engine to possibly crash. This was fixed in update 5.0.3.

Piapro Studio still works with VOCALOID5 but there are currently concerns such as Piapro Studio being unable to load the new save file type (.vpr files). MIDI and VSQX files made in Piapro Studio are unusable in VOCALOID5. E.V.E.C. must be used within VOCALOID5 as if the user wrote manually in VOCALOID4. Updates will continue on Piapro Studio in regards to the release of VOCALOID5. [37] Currently the most impacted V4x release is Megurine Luka V4X due to its heavy reliance on Piapro Studio and EVEC. Voicebanks intended for VOCALOID5 currently do not work with Piapro Studio. As a result, users who rely on the software and which to move into the VOCALOID5 generation cannot and are restricted on what how they can use the software. An update to allow Piapro Studio to work with VOCALOID5 is confirmed not going to happen as Piapro Studio is being developed into its own software independent of Vocaloid. [38] [39]

Japanese vocals in VOCALOID5 are largely the same as VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4 vocals. So far, no noted changes between VOCALOID4 and VOCALOID5 have been reported other then basic increases of quality other then natural progression of technology and developer experience. English vocals so far have reported to use the same methods as developed in VOCALOID4. There is no information on the situation with other languages. When reporting on why they were not updating to V5, Beijing Photek S&T Development Co., Ltd. noted this among the reasons for not updating to V5, feeling that not much change happened to the engine and that the Japanese trial had no noticeable differences. While comparison of files between V4 and V5 do show differences in sympathised results when subject to user experimentation, [40] the issue has existed since VOCALOID3, with VOCALOID3 having been the last major update to Japanese voicebanks and how they work.

Criticism [ ]

VOCALOID5 is the first engine to have issues with long standing problems that have existed within the franchise across the past versions came to a head. This lead to the engine being the first one to see a mixed response which includes some heavy negative criticism as well as long term issues become a folly for the franchises progression. While negative criticisms have always been within the franchise, the consequences of those negative responses had never hugely impacted support for the engine by 3rd party studios.

Software Reaction [ ]

In comparisons to the VOCALOID3 to VOCALOID4 update, the VOCALOID5 engine has had a major overhaul and many new features have been presented making it a very different software to past version. The initial first-day reaction was mostly positive for this reason. Upon reviewing it, Gizmodo noted the engine felt much more modern. [26] One of the problems with it was the overall over realming lack of response to the update compared to past versions. [40]

However, the higher price tag for the engine and the higher computer specification requirement have also been cited as a negative point. [40] In regards of the price, this issue is attenuated if you own one of the previous versions of VOCALOID due to the price to upgrade being much lower than the price to buy VOCALOID5 brand new. [26] Other issues occurred with 2 of the 8 vocals in the Premium version offer, namely VY1 and VY2. Their newer VOCALOID5 versions do not contain the addition vocals that were supplied with VY2v3 and VY1v4.

The VOCALOID5 editor was, according to one website, quite easy to edit vocals with and get an array of tones even with elder VOCALOID3 or VOCAOID4 vocals. VOCALOID LINK, however, stated that producers may simply be happy with updates to GUMI, Hatsune Miku, Otomachi Una, or to the Chinese vocaloids (which at this point were as popular as the Japanese Vocaloids) in VOCALOID4, although the last few Chinese Vocaloids have been released to a much less excited response. VOCALOID LINK expressed that there was a feeling of Vocaloid coming to an end because of this slower release trend and many feel it is the end of an era. [41]

The Macne twitter account also expressed concerns at the absence of the XSY function and had expressed a desire for it to return themselves. [42]

The lack of change for Japanese voicebanks was cited for the first time as a negative response, Beijing Photek S&T Development Co., Ltd noted in their first impression responses for why they did not continue with the VOCALOID5 software. [40] Criticism was already beginning to be noted by VOCALOID fans over time as releases such as Gackpoid V4 and Rana V4 were not much different to older versions V3 Gackpoid and Rana.

3rd Party Developer response [ ]

VOCALOID5 was the first engine reported to have a sense of disdain which was unaffected by the inclusion of 4 vocals within the engine. Part of this was to do with the lack of large announcement in comparison to VOCALOID3 nor a rush of new exciting releases for VOCALOID4, with AH-Software Co. Ltd. being the only 3rd party to release a VOCALOID5 vocal by January 2019. AH-Software reported growing sales globally and was expanding on its successful campaign in Germany. [43]

However, despite AH-Software’s response, one of the growing issues with VOCALOID5 was the number of departing studios from the software:

At the time of its release, there was no environment set up for developers, so supported 3rd party features and functions did not start appearing until the following year in 2019. [50]
