I would recommend Synthesizer V from Dreamtonics as a realistic (most of the time) female-voiced synthesizer (Eleanor Forte voice). There is a free version. It can be easily multi-tracked for background singer harmonization. The following is an example of its use in western-style music: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKGFzMSJh8W4nLQ.html

I have both Emvoice with Lucy and Jay and synthesizer v studio pro with the full version of Solaria and a couple other voice packs which are the lite version. I plan on getting Kevin for synthesizer v, it sounds very realistic as there are so many that you can do to make ithe articulations that much more realistic. I recommend Synthesizer V studio pro over the free version as you can control all the articulation in the voices. Solaria and Kevin are English voice.

Only one... (Guy 64b writes)

A lot of softwares and plugins can do that! Vocaloid is the most famous, UTAU (free!!) can use your own samples (of voices or anything like some users do), Chipspeech recreates the sound of famous 80′s voice synthesis chips (copy-pasted) and can be used as singer!! (it has like 6 or 8 voices? can also be used as actual synth, it's extremely versatyl and i love it), Alter/Ego which is free and by the same company. Synthesizer V is really good, and sounds quite realistic, it's the direct competitor of Vocaloid imo. There's also CeVIO, DeepVocal, and many others! emvoice is not bad but not my fav, and quite expensive for what it was able to do at the time. now it has quite improved and I'm really happy to see this video and how far it has come! i think it's the only one that works only online though... the major downside of it. the vocal synth 'fandom' knows a lot of things about the softwares and the voicebanks, never hesitate to ask anyone!

Guy, your joyful way of doing these videos is just so infectious, I love it every time and I learn so much. Keep up the good work. I'm a big fan ♥

However Morph 2 on robotic older style text to singing yields some improvement but not as good so long as the second sample is of high quality. The trick into truly morphing two formants together is to morph two samples to match as close to the same pitch as possible and keep genders the same, but also works on lower octaves and cross gender but not as well. Still though not a stellar singing performance but is great for backing tracks and choirs.

Thank you for this review. I am still leaning toward Vocaloid, I just wish they had more male and female voice offerings geared more toward hard rock and heavy metal. I write aggressive music styles and it demands aggressive vocal styles. I also wish they would release a Vocaloid 6. It has been long enough!

I have made tunes with Emvoice,Realivox Blue and Synth V`s Eleanor Lite version.As far as workflow and ability to control expression,Synth V is very good even in their lite version.They have some "AI" versions in English coming out beginning of next year,namely Solaris being put together by Eclipsed Sounds.The thing that is unique about Synth V is there are global controls for breathiness,tension,volume,gender,vibrato and others as well as individual note parameters to articulate each note on its` own.There are already AI versions in Japanese and Chinese but not of much use to me here in the west.Can`t wait to see how much more sensitive the new voices with AI will be.Oh,nice video by the way.I love my eggs oiled.Old family tradition.

i love this guy. :)

this is awesome

Super cool. In all probability, a plugin like this will get used or repurposed by somebody in a cool and clever way that it wasn't strictly envisioned to be used, and *that* will be a breakout success.

synthesizer v is a better and cheaper vocal synth I find it easier to use than vocaloid and emvoice

Guy give a nod to Sparky's Magic Piano!

As with most software these days, it's too expensive. If it was $39 they would make a fortune because it's interesting enough, and probably useful enough, that people would buy it in droves just to see if it would work for them in some way - backing vocals, doubling, etc. The other problem is that it seems to have zero expressiveness, and I'd rather hear an average singer with feel, than this. As always though, thanks Guy for the demo!

Oh, my. "Eat my shorts" is now ear-wormed.

This is the beginning of the future! Songwriters who are not great singers will be able to use a "EZ Vocalist" style program with different expansion packs for different timbres of voices. Imagine you can make George Michael, John Lennon or Frank Sinatra sing your tune. Amazing. Obviously, there's still much work to do with intonation, velocity and the many articulations. But this is definitely the beginning of that possibility. I wonder if it would become possible for songwriters to record a guide track with a certain intention and timing and then replace the sound and timbre of that track with the voice of a world class (famous) singer. Or create a customized virtual singer modelled the way you imagine.

Each time I go to the emvoice icon thats has some letters and ex. at the end and try to open it, it just starts re-loading again. And now its on my computer about three times. I have cake walk that is supposed to be able to host emvoicee but cake walk doesnt show emcoice anywhere in its machine even after downloading emvoice. It looks like I need the real nuts and bolts help on how to get emvoice working rather than ust what its capable of. So far I havent found a solution. Even any one out there kind enought to give me baby steps on how to get embvoice working it would mean a lot to me.

Both are sample-based actually but very different. Eastwest Hollywood Backup Singers is made to emulate a group of singers doing backing vocals. Emvoice One is made to emulate a lead singer - and can do backing vocals, if you open several instances of the plugin. The workflow is also pretty different, Eastwest works with a text editor and a separate "time editor", whereas Emvoice has a single piano-roll UI for both text and music.
