Questions & Answers

I'd like to buy it, but is it available in English or as an option in English, or is there a legal download for this program?

As this is a Japanese version, it is not intended to support English. Many of the sounds you'll require are simply unavailable. You can play around with the phonemes to get it to sound like English, but it'll take a long time. However, an English version is in the works, and Crypton estimates that it will be released in the spring of 2013, though this isn't a guarantee. This program does not have a legal download version.

Is this compatible with the v3 editor, or is it restricted to v3 software only?

Yes, you can import this voice bank into V3, but you can also purchase her V3 update, which does not require importing. Yes, you can use this in the Vocaloid3 editor in either case.

Selected User Reviews For Vocaloid2 Character Vocal Series 01: Hatsune Miku

Miku, the Original Version, is who you're looking for

5/5

This is the original version of the Hatsune Miku character voice from Vocaloid 2, which was responsible for a revolution in Japan's hobbyist music scene in recent years. Some of their albums have even charted in the top ten. br>br>If you want to make music with it, you can get started right away. If you're learning Japanese, I think you'll find this to be a really enjoyable way to practice. br>br>Before you buy, keep the following in mind: 1. br>br> Before you purchase, I strongly advise you to listen to Miku-produced music to ensure that this is the sound you desire. Other Vocaloids exist, and because they're all samples of human singers, they each have their own distinct sound. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br The entire manual is written in Japanese. This makes registering a pain, especially if your Japanese isn't up to par. I'm almost fluent in the language, but learning it was more difficult than it needed to be. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. Miku will play well in the Vocaloid3 music editor with this version of Miku. (Which is precisely what I did. ) ) The Vocaloid3 editor is a significant upgrade over the Vocaloid2 editor, but it is available for purchase separately. To import Miku into Vocaloid 3, you must first install and register Miku, then register Miku with Yamaha to obtain a Vocaloid 3 import code. It's a time-consuming procedure as well. If you don't want to mess around with Vocaloid3, you can simply use the Vocaloid2 software that comes with this product. br>br>4. You can only install the software on one computer at a time. (This is a bit of a pain if you travel and occasionally use a laptop. ) )br>br>5. )br>br> If you'd like to use the Hatsune Miku Append software (which is sold separately! ), you'll need to purchase it separately. ), you must have a licensed copy of this installed on the computer where the Append software will be installed! 6. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> If you want to write songs in English, you'll need to learn the language first. You can do it. kind of. There are tutorials available if you need Miku to speak English, but the results will be mediocre at best. In an EDM-style setting, you might be able to get away with it. Most native English speakers will find it strange to listen to a song where the vocals aren't the main attraction, but if the vocals are the main attraction. br>br>The Japanese-style Only Vocaloids, such as this version of Miku, can reproduce the Japanese language's native sounds, which are far fewer than those in English. As a result, large chunks of correct English pronunciation will be missing from your songs. br>br>An official English version of Miku is currently being developed. Miku is fantastic for creating Japanese songs. br>br> Miku's voice is bright and distinct, and she is well-known for it. Suitable for a wide range of genres (J-pop, for example). Miku can do a variety of styles (pop comes to mind, but she can do them all), and she has a wide range. If you want to experiment with sounds, the Miku Append software is definitely worth checking out. Miku is available in six different variations, each with a different timbre. Some are minor, while others are quite significant.

That's exactly what I was looking for

5/5

As a user of UTAU, a similar freeware platform to Vocaliod, I am blown away by how simple Vocaloid is to use. The second reason for my purchase is that I have long been a fan of many of the songs performed by this voice bank, and I consider myself a Miku fan. Miku's Append voice banks, as well as Rin/Len Kagamine's voice banks and the Vocaloid 3 engine, will be my next purchases. I would recommend this voice bank to anyone who is into vocal synthesizers or synthetic music production.

MIKU

5/5

The original Japanese software is all standalone and is incompatible with the new v4x and piapro studios, but it will still work in studio one.

There was some difficulty with the installation (in Japanese)

4/5

We had some issues with installation because it displayed messages in both Japanese and English at times, but it now works fine.

For being the second Vocaloid2 voice, she is of excellent quality; what am I supposed to say, she is the original Miku

5/5

For being the second Vocaloid2 voice, let alone the first Japanese Vocaloid2, she is of exceptional quality. The package was delivered on time and in good shape! I highly recommend her to new Vocaloid Producers because she is easy to use and includes the Vocaloid2 Editor.
