Will they add Vocal Modes to other voices?

Ooooh great! I can’t wait for this!!!

I just hope they implement a better way to blend the vocal modes. I want to be able to go from soft to belt, without having to use a separate track, and the transitions sounding unnatural.

honestly i think it depends on the voice providers choice, if they want to record different parameters for their synthv, the companys choice and funding. id love to see more with eleanor especially considering how lovely her AI sounds.

solaria actually is going to get voice parameters! but they need the funding first. so theres something :D!!

Are the vocal modes based on completely new recordings or is it just an AI analysis of the voice provider singing in a certain tone? Because if it’s the former it’s insane that Stardust has 8 modes

It seems that based on what’s happening to Rikka, it should be based on current recordings if there’s enough to create variations. Rikka’s AI voice is already a year old and she was only the second AI vocal to be released for Synth V (the only other one was Saki in December 2020, who is a first party vocal from Dreamtonics herself). Perhaps her existing recordings weren’t enough. TOKYO6 seems to want to use this opportunity to not only give her Vocal Mode with new added recordings, but to also improve her ranges and have her quality match Karin and Chifuyu.

Karin and Chifuyu don’t need additional recordings. The current ones seem to suffice to create Vocal Mode variations.

Anri’s vocal modes are also in the works!

holy shit anri vocal modes will be real

Something about growling, vocal frying and other natural vocal effects?
I can’t wait to make Kevin and his friends sing with the voice of a rocker

KEVIN GROWL OGGHGHHHH YES PLEASE

It would be great if he had a yelling vocal mode, right now even with maxed tension, belt and solid he sounds a bit too weak for most western rock music.

i would have to disagree…! with solid+belt maxed out and on high octaves he sounds VERY powerful!

You’ll probably be able to change the vocal mode by setting a group to a specific vocal mode in the track, like languages.

Official announcement abour ANRI Vocal Modes

Why are the names for the vocal modes different for each voice?

In order to train the AI to sing in different ways, it’s very likely they need to tell the AI which learning materials (ie the recorded samples it analyzes) are in which style, so that the AI can build associations.

In other words, by default the AI’s learning algorithm simply analyzes songs, but it has no concept of “soft”, “whisper”, “belting”, etc. Vocal modes are most likely created by providing the AI additional context for the things it has learned so it can observe a new type of pattern.

(please note this is speculation based on what I know of machine learning in general, and the actuality may be different since Dreamtonics is quite secretive about their processes)

The exact modes for each voice and the words used to describe them would likely be dependent on:

1. The recorded samples available - how many different songs did they get the voice provider to record, and how much stylistic variety is there within that set (ie, “in which ways can the learning materials be categorized?”)
2. The voice character/avatar/mascot - what type of voice is the product marketed as, what kind of focus does the company want for their specific character, and which modes/styles support that image

Going by what you’re saying with the second point there, you can very clearly see this with ANRI. It seems the image in the tweet hints to what she is getting: Emotive, Chill, Light, and the fourth seems to be “Charm” as written on her top. Very matching in her character if this is true.

Not too much news from today’s TOKYO6 livestream about the Vocal Modes, but they’ve mentioned that Karin and Rikka are progressing. Chifuyu will also have Vocal Mode (5 variations) added in and they hope to have it completed by the time she releases (October), but I won’t further share much more about it since she has her own dedicated threads and they’re aiming to have it done for her final release (Synthesizer V AI Hanakuma Chifuyu (花隈千冬): New Japanese Female Voice from TOKYO6 ENTERTAINMENT and Synthesizer V「花隈千冬」即将众筹). If for whatever reason she ends up NOT getting them within her first release version, then I’ll mention her more here.

Another SOLARIA Vocal Mode demo

“Erode” uses Airy, Power, and Soft

She is getting 7 in total: Soft, Solid, Airy, Power, Clear, Passionate, and Light

Her Vocal Mode update is expected to come within the next 2 weeks. (Source: https://twitter.com/eclipsedsounds/status/1543101202748936193)

solaria’s power vocal mode ATE

Solaria’s vocal modes are now available:

From the thread:

Mode 1: Clear
Clear provides a bright voice that helps SOLARIA pierce through the mix of any song to be heard clearly! When mixed with other modes or her default voice, it can be used to naturally raise the brightness of her tone without relying on effects in mixing.

Mode 2: Soft
Soft gives SOLARIA a gentle and mellow tone, stripping out the natural power in her voice to give the user discrete control over her expression, with added breathiness and darkness to the voice.

Mode 3: Airy
A whispery mode that provides a unique tone. While similar to Soft, it removes the support from SOLARIA’s voice, leaving only a light and gentle quality. This can create unique effects as backing vocals, or add a new layer of expression for more atmospheric vocals.

Mode 4: Power
Power brings out SOLARIA’s belting ability directly, lending a strong, emotional voice to the user even more easily even just after install.

Mode 5: Passionate
Passionate is the closest to SOLARIA’s default tone, and it is based on the most emotional lines of each of the songs in SOLARIA’s data, increasing her natural emotional expression.

Mode 6: Solid
This mode packs energy into every syllable, helping to bring out a different side of SOLARIA’s strong tones. When mixed with other modes or her default voice, it can add a base of support to add punch to the vocals.

Mode 7: Light
A mode based only on the upper part of her range, typically described as “head voice,” light can provide a unique tone across the range, with bright high notes and more solid low notes. It is best used for songs in a higher register.
