Vocaloid 3 is a singing voice synthesizer and successor to Vocaloid 2 in the Vocaloid series. This version of the software is a much more expansive version, containing many new features, three new languages and many more vocals than past software versions combined.

History

Vocaloid 3 launched on October 21, 2011, along with several products in Japanese product, the first of its kind. Several studios are providing updates to allow Vocaloid 2 vocal libraries to come over to Vocaloid 3.[1] "Vocalistener" was later released for the new engine, though sold separately. This adjusts parameters iteratively from a user's singing to create natural synthesized singing.[2][3] It supports additional languages including Chinese, Korean, and Spanish. It is also able to use plug-ins for the software itself and switch between normal and "classic" mode for less realistic vocal results. Unlike previous versions, the vocal libraries and main editing software are sold as two separate items. The vocal libraries themselves only contain a "tiny" version of the Vocaloid 3 editing software. Yamaha will also be granting the licensing of plug-ins and use of the Vocaloid software for additional mediums such as video games.[4][5] Also, Vocaloid 3 has Triphone support unlike Vocaloid 2 which improves language capabilities.[6] The first Spanish Vocaloids, Clara and Bruno, were released in 2011.[7]

New technology is also being used to bring back the voice of the singer Hitoshi Ueki who died in 2007. This is the first attempt to bring back a singer whose voice had been lost, yet it had been considered a possibility since the software was first released in 2004. However, this is only being done for private use.[8] A second attempt was made with the voice of hide, a member of group X Japan, who died in 1998.[9]

The software was given a special version called "Vocaloid Editor for Cubase", this was a special version that would work with the Digital audio workstation.[10] An OS X version of the software called Vocaloid Neo was announced on July 24, 2013. Several voices have since been confirmed for this version of the software. Producers who owned vocals that had Mac versions had their licenses updated to allow Mac installation of those vocals, however only the Windows or Mac install was allowed and both could not be installed under the same purchase.[11] In 2013, the first Catalan vocal project was introduced called "ONA".[12]

A series of resource packs called "Vocaloid-P Data series" were also released. A total of 4 volumes were released, the series was retired with the introduction of the SE versions of several vocals.[13] In addition, Vocaloid 3, Vocaloid Neo and i-Vocaloid were later given an update which allowed access to a cloud storage system called "Vocaloid Net". This allowed users to use all 3 versions of the software to access stored files made in any of the 3 software.[14]

Vocaloid 3 allowed for more variety of vocals to be produced, including some that Vocaloid 2 could not allow.[15]

"VocaListener", which had been announced during Vocaloid 2, was release as a Job plug-in for the Vocaloid 3 software.[16]

Vocaloid 3 vocals were also able to be imported into Vocaloid 4.

Throughout pre-Vocaloid 3 release promotions, SBS stood by a claim that you can recreate English with SeeU's Korean voicebank, and in Dec 2011 even went so far to say SeeU is actually "trilingual", although the comment seemed odd as SeeU had only two voicebanks.[18][19] In Feb 2012 they stated that they were working on a full English voicebank.[20] In August 2012, SBS reported that the recordings for the voicebank had been completed and was now going through a tuning process. Her English VB will be similar to an append and her design slightly adjusted.[21] On February 4, 2013, in response to a Korean fan's question about the progress of English Voicebank, SBS posted a reply that the development of English Voicebank is on hold. Due to Dahee being incarcerated in 2015, SeeU English is not expected for a long time. [22]

They were later sold separately on the Japanese version of the on-line store Sonicwire.[44][45]

In addition to the software, a small Keyboard like device known as "Pocket Miku" saw commercial release continaing this voice. Originally the device was set to hold the VY1 voice, but was changed for Miku before the developers felt that only her voice would do.[46]

An unreleased update for Megurine Luka. This would later be released for Vocaloid 4. During the brief period her V3 website was up, the listed vocals being created for her were; Japanese/Power/Soft/Cute/Whisper/Closed/English.[61]

Critical reception

When reviewing Yohioloid, the Vocaloid 3 software was given a 7/10 by Hollin Jones of the website MusicTech. Jones in his review noted that despite it being "easy to use" the software had a steep learning curve and investing time and effort was the only way to get results. However, when listing off the pros and cons of the software he did note that Vocaloid was as close to realism that one can get, but he noted it was better as a back up singer. He noted that there was still a great deal of artificiality to the sound and it is not possible to get Vocaloid to mimic a singer like Adele. He felt the Vocaloid software was more aimed at an electronic pop genre and in regards to the Yohioloid vocal itself perhaps aimed at a Japanese market despite the fact Yohioloid was a western built Vocaloid.[62]

It was also noted that for English vocaloids Oliver and Avanna, though they were completed a significant delay was reported by studios between the completion of their developments and release. In regards to Avanna, at one point it appeared Zero-G themselves did not know when she was going to be released. Another issue was that Avanna's originally concept was of an Elf as Avanna was aimed to be a fantasy theme vocal, but this was rejected by Yamaha themselves in favour of an anime style of artwork. Previously they had not shown any signs of directing the studios towards one particular direction. The artist of the illustration for Avanna also theorized this had something to do with the large negative reaction that followed the original concept for Spanish vocals Bruno and Clara.[63][64]

Hatsune Miku remained the most popular vocal for the software. Upon release she overloaded the yamaha server as users made activation requests.[65] As well as this, a backlog of 10,000 copies of her software was reported at one stage as supplies failed to meet the demand.[66] The Hatsune Miku v3 product was credited for an increase of Vocaloid related sales by 19.7% in 2014.[67]

Sales for English Vocals also picked up and Avanna became the most successful Zero-G Vocaloid ever sold, holding their no.1 "Best Seller" spot for 2013 and the first Vocaloid by Zero-G to ever claim their no.1 spot. Her vocal would later go on to repeat this in the following years of 2014.[68][69] She also claimed the no.1 spot for a 3rd year in 2015, but was closely challenged by Vocaloid 4 vocals "Dex" and "Daina".[70]

IA also proved a highly successful vocal and by July 2015, had 100 million views across all the related videos of her.[71]

Not all Vocaloid3 releases were highly successful, more so then Vocaloid2 releases. In 2014, Crypton Future Media's website Sonicwire gave sales results for 2014, the top rankings contained a mixture of Vocaloid2 and Vocaloid3 releases. The mixed result was not just restricted to vocal package Crypton had developed itself, but reflected in also other studios, as evidence by both "Big Al", a Vocaloid2 vocal by PowerFX, being on the chart alongside Yohioloid, a Vocaloid3 product also by PowerFX.[72] In 2015, the trend changed in favour of Vocaloid3 vocals, but the chart was topped by Vocaloid4 products.[73]
