A short test of my newly purchased choir voice for Synth V I'm pretty happy with it. Note the third chord from the end is a stack major / minor 7th. (don't count the resolution of the suspension)

Never heard of synth v. So I asked about it ### **What is Synthesizer V?** **Synthesizer V** (often called **Synth V**) is a high-end music production software developed by Dreamtonics that uses deep learning and AI to generate remarkably realistic singing voices. Unlike older vocal synthesizers (like the original Vocaloid) that often sounded "robotic" due to splicing together recorded samples, Synth V uses a **neural-network-based engine** to predict how a human singer would transition between notes and phonemes. ### **Key Features** * **AI Pitch Generation:** The software can automatically generate natural-sounding vibrato, breathiness, and pitch slides. As seen in the Choir Test you are viewing, it is capable of handling complex harmonies and classical vocal textures. * **Cross-Lingual Synthesis:** Many of its "voicebanks" can sing in English, Japanese, and Chinese, regardless of the singer's native language, while maintaining their unique vocal character. * **Vocal Styles:** Users can adjust "tension," "breathiness," and "gender" parameters to change the emotional tone of the performance from a whisper to a belt. ### **Why Artists Use It** 1. **Drafting Vocals:** Composers use it to hear how a melody sounds with "human" lyrics before hiring a session singer. 2. **Virtual Performance:** Some creators use it as the final lead vocal for electronic or pop music, especially in the "Vocaloid" and virtual idol communities. 3. **Choir Layering:** As demonstrated on the alonetone page, it is excellent for creating realistic choral backing tracks without needing a live ensemble. > **Note:** The "third chord from the end" mentioned in the description is a **stacked major/minor 7th**, which is a sophisticated harmonic choice that tests the software's ability to maintain clarity in dissonant or complex intervals. >

this was born of working on a different more heavy rock/metal project... and I had this drum track I played from my Tama kit that I got into and built on that... Shecter Omen bass DI to Zoom L-20 where this was recorded and mixed. Mastered…

Originally a fado tune composed in 1947 by Raul Ferrão, there must be hundreds of versions. Here's one more.

This is the old Willie Nelson song that was famously covered by Patsy Cline which, in many ways, made Willie's career happen. Learning how to play the keys has been a slow, but steady struggle bus. The biggest challenges so far (other than…

more satire. I like the mix of the crazy analog synth (Behringer Poly D) against that aggressive guitar. The bass kind of makes this flow along (Shecter Omen direct to record, no effects). Tama drums. Gamma amp with Boss ME-25 feeding it…

This is the Ave Maria prayer - the Hail Mary in Latin. The guitar is in a full E tuning with the Capo on the 5th fret. I recorded the voice and guitar together. This is the first recording of it so I may do it again to get the best performance.

This is our first album, a collection of work recorded between 1987 and 1994 in our home studio. We released it independently on cassettes.

There was a review in the IJmuider Courant that said I was the George Michael of IJmuiden. Great, isn't it? We talk about 1987.

In 1987, John and Paul conducted a one-off experiment. They recorded these songs in Paul's home studio. John provided vocals and wrote the lyrics. Paul handled the drum programming, synths, guitar, and bass. Influences include gothic, post-underground…

Another great tune from good ol' Brian. Original guitarist Keith is back to sprinkle a little magic on this song, upping the quality to levels that go beyond great...well past my own usual half-assed efforts. It won't be long before they kick…
