VOCALOID 4 “CYBER SONGMAN” Has Just Released!

The official VOCALOID Facebook page as well as Crusher-P have just announced a new V4 VOCALOID: “CYBER SONGMAN“. As one may be able to guess, he’s in the same series as the female V4 vocal, CYBER DIVA.

Voice Bank Information

Recommended Range: A1 to A3
Recommended Tempo: 70 to 190 BPM

Extra Features

CYBER SONGMAN has a second User Dictionary. One can switch between the two in order to have a more British or American accent.

In addition, he has two extra phonemes: [4] and [@l].

[4] is the American English tap-t sound. It’s used in words like “better” where there’s not quite the sound of a T nor a D. [@l] is a syllabic [l] sound (that’s lower-case L). It’s used in words like “apple”.

Below, you can listen to a comparison of CYBER SONGMAN with and without the extra phonemes.

He’s also capable of “gruff” and “harsh” voice expressions, which can be used for a wider range of sound effects or for particular music genres.

And, of course, he’s able to Growl as well.
