So I've been trying to play with Piko to make him sound like a bit more masculine like in his cover of Heat Haze day but I am honestly stuck.

So far here are the settings I have for him on V3

Breathiness -127
Brightness 30
Clearness -90
Gender 30

He sounds a bit manly in the C2 range but still incredibly effeminate in the C3 range which is where I would like him since he is suppose be my tenor male, Bruno my Baritone, and Big Al my Bass. So is there any help or am I just stuck with Piko sounding like a girl still?

Also here is the example that I want Piko to sound like

[Falsett]

Those settings work fairly well [almost exactly the same to the ones I'm applying to SeeU for SeeWoo].
You'd definitely have to go over individual notes and adjust their GEN parameters to pass off effectively, however.

Also, try run a slight male filter over it during mixing [Soundbooth has it, I believe? REAPER does as well, and Audacity. Still not sure for FL Studio] and it should give more of a masculine sound.

I wouldn't lower the GEN number settings any more than 30; it's going to give an awkward warped sound.
Do you have some examples you can post?
