You then double click on the item to open the “MIDI” piano roll editor. The MIDI track is then added to the editor. I simply paste the file path using CTL V in the file open dialog. You have to import the MIDI item using the VOCALOID 5 file menu as shown. The VOCALOID 5 application is automatically started for the track when the track is added or the project is opened. When VOCALOID 5 is initially installed, the VST is placed in the folder “ C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2” and this needs to be scanned in the usual way. This is necessary to synchronise the cursor control and transport control between the two applications. Note that the VOCALOID track in Reaper has a second VST “Rewire VOCALOID5”. Once I have done the transfer, I delete the “Alter/Ego” track. I press cancel and I am ready to transfer the MIDI to VOCALOID.

There is a VST to plug into Reaper, but this really acts as a conduit between the two separate applications. Vocaloid 5 is released as a stand-alone editor application and some VST components. I stuck with this product however as it is a nice way to develop a voice line before importing it to VOCALOID. Although this is an improvement on Vocaloid and Emvoice, it is difficult to tie the lyrics to the notes directly and easy to get the lyrics out of synch with the notes. The lyrics are typed in separately and each syllable is assigned to a note sequentially. The note placement was well-integrated with the Reaper MIDI editor.

I tried “Alter/Ego” which is a free product. The demo is limited to 7 semitones for each voice. However if they go bust you can say goodbye to your cash and the operation of the software. I think this product is still undeveloped and may blossom into to something really good. It was not well integrated with Reaper although it was a VST. I also thought the user interface was pretty poor for the price.

It would not take much software effort to have a function to do this automatically. For example, to add vibrato you have to chop the note up manually and adjust the pitch of each individual segment. There was no additional control over expression and inflexions. Where is the chipmunk ? The other products had access to different voice banks. The vocal quality was good and on the “pure” side. I tried “Emvoice” which requires an Internet connection to a voice server. There are several products out there, many are Japanese and difficult to evaluate. There is a large scope for altering the expression and quality of the voice. It is quite difficult to produce a lead vocal line and get the intended phrasing right, however it is acceptible for my modest needs. The synthesis is quite good but still has that robotic/Melodyne quality. I purchased this product to allow me to mock up songs and add harmonies to existing songs. Vocaloid 5 is one of several voice synthesizers that allow you to create vocal lines from entered notes and lyrics.
