Hi there!

We're still quite a while before we'll actually see it but, PowerFX and Zero-G would like
to know what suggestions you have for Vocaloid 3.
It could be related to the voices, the software, or anything else connected to (english) Vocaloid.
Once we've heard what you think is important we'll add it to our own list and let Yamaha know.

Fire away!


Crossfrown here! "Voice suggestions" in this thread means what they should do for the voices. Not what kind of voice you want.
To suggest a voicetype, go here.

Hehee, top of everyone's list is begging for that "backwards compactiablity" so the old Vocaloids can be used even with the new ones.

Edit:
Removed voice suggestion, as I'm trying to help get the message across Anders doesn't want that, we have a topic for it already!

[Mini]

1- MAC VERSION PLEASE. MAC VERSION PLEASE MAC VERSION PLEASE.
I guess I made it clear enough hah. But seems like 25% of vocaloid producers use mac as main plataform. So why not?

2- Retrocompatibility
Because opening 2 vocaloids at the sime time will be difficult (my PC cpu already has problems enough with one vocaloid running).

3- Better software engine.
Vocaloid2 is full of bugs, everywhere, anywhere, the setup is troublesome, sometimes the program perform some really weird errors.

4- Mac version.
Cause steve's jobs is way much better than bill's.

Now thats for the software. but for voicebanks I'd suggest:


- A high pitched airy female (Like japanese vocaloid GUMI)
- A male with higher voice (like Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie)
- US English voice providers.
- A female with a more "celtic" voice
- And of course better boxarts. I know you guys probably are worried about something else (like the voices) but please hire a designer haha. Except for few boxes (like sonika's new boxart) they're ALL ugly and plain. (yeah the japanese ones included.)

[sleepysheep7]

1. Backwards compatibility

2. More Male Vocaloids please

3. better art designs ( I know bottom of the list but still)

4. An American Voice would be a nice change

[Crossfrown]

1. Backwards compatibility (Vocaloid1 especially, so hard to use)

2. Less adult voices (young female? The market for Japanese Vocaloids is switching to deep, so the polarity overseas should reverse too)

3. Icon pallete (From Vocaloid1, it always got in the way but I love that thing)

4. More use of the expression banks. :I

[Blue of Mind]

Backwards compatability a PLUS! Also, more male Vocaloids.

[Hana Mahone]

1: bug fixes
2: backwards compatability with both Vocaloid 1 and Vocaloid 2
3: more male vocaloids
4: DAN GREEN VOCALOID MUST BE DONE D:<
5: compatability with most modern Operating Systems

"Dear Yamaha... Please can you remove the "reverseing tape" sounds from English vocaloids and the "bop it" sounds from Japanese vocaloids. Seriously. I don't care if you switch it for another sound, I don't like the way the unatural effects come into play when you go from say #D4 to #D2. The software sounds like its breaking and has been with us since Vocaloid 1. Surely you must be able to make extreme transitions from lower octaves to higher smoother SOMEHOW. I'm so sick of particularly hearing it in Japanese vocaloids, seriously, it comes out partcularly when you go from lower to higher (its a different sound when done in vice versa) octaves and once you hear it in a song, you can't damn well unhear it if you know what I mean. I've listened to real Japanese singers, they don't "bop" notes and English signers don't sound like a VCR being being put in reverse."

From a displeased fan.

P.s. improvement on importing midi files would also be nice too.

[Haku Yowane]

1 Backwards compatability

2 more male Vocaloids

3 see the young vocaloids gets older ( if it's possible)

[Ballistic]

1. Backwards Compatiblity

2. Scream ability

3. Breathing phonemes


~edited out~

[Somebodyrandom]

Proper ability to allow Vocaloids to "scream" like how you have [br1]-[br5] would be nice so fans don't have to improvise all the time.

A few others like a "grunt" would also be nice, sometimes these simple effects just seem to never sound right when people try and make the vocaloid mimick them.

[Ballistic]

Click consonant sounds would be interesting to use for languages that have them.

Click and phlegm sounds would make my universe, and be helpful for educational reasons. Also seething. tł plz



...But that's not something that should be in a mainstream Vocaloid so maybe as an aside project.

[cryinglullaby]

A strong teen male voice would be great~

As several had said
#1 Backwards compatibility would be very nice.
#2 Is more vocal options, such as click sounds, screams, breathing phonemes would be nice to have some more of these settings in the software instead of having to improvise using other software to edit it after the fact.
#3 Better midi support, I all the time get errors, and have to rebuild midi's from scratch in the editor because they won't import correctly.
#4 An American English voice would be nice
#5 A good male tenor voice that sounds in the late teens-twenties range

Last two are just voice bank wants, but for the software itself the first three would be very nice.
