11-28-03---- Sharon Apple Closer - New Synthetic Vocalist Software Debuts
The UK company, Zero G, has announced it will market a new computer software titled VOCALOID (licensed from Yamaha) which will allow users to construct synthesized vocal tracks in a number of vocal "fonts", these fonts are composed of artificial male and female personalities. A male vocalist, LEON, and a female vocalist, LOLA, will be launched at the NAMM show in L.A., 15 - 18 January, 2004. A third vocalist, MIRIAM, will be launched at Frankfurt Musik Messe, 31 March - 3 April, 2004. These vocalists can sing any words in English and sound like a professional singing voice. A Japanese company, Crypton, the only other licensee of Vocaloid is currently developing a female Japanese font. How true to life are the vocals? Listen for yourself at Yamaha's Audio Demo section here

They sound pretty strange @ first, but I can get use to it hehe Still in early stages I guess.
And "Sharon Apple" that the headline is reffering to is a character in the anime Marcoss Plus. Sharon is an artificial pop-star - her vocals were completely digital/binary/artificial yet amazingly beautiful.
:D |

That's almost perfect! The first song (Kimi no uwasa) is very beautiful, and if it weren't for some unnatural/fixed sounds, it would sound 100% human.
Hopefully now the emphasis in pop music will go back to the music, and not to who's singing it :) |

| I dunno, I'd think that artificial singing just wouldn't be the same, wouldn't have the same emotion and unique feel to it... I could be proved wrong though. |

Okay, so it's only good for pop music, as that has no uniqueness and/or emotion. |
