Vocaloid Descriptions: YOHIOloid

     (Note: This felt nice to write. Hio is good Vocaloid.)
He is not Edgy Teen Oliver and you cannot change my mind.
I am talking to three specific people here. You know who you are.

     YOHIOloid
     Voice donor: YOHIO, a professional Swedish singer, 17 years old at time of recording
     Engine: V3
     Company: Made by VocaTone, sold by PowerFX
     Release date: September 10, 2013
     Updates and/or additional voicebanks: nope
     Language: English, Japanese
     Voice type: Mid-range mature male voice
     Strengths: Sounds just so amazing and pleasant and smooth, but also has a wide vocal range.
     Weaknesses: His Japanese is not preferred by Japanese producers because of its Swedish accent.
     Examples: Without Wings, Dream With You, Rolling In the Deep, Sunflowers In Your Eyes, I Only Wait For You, LivexLove
     Reception: Slightly less popular than Oliver, I would say. Due to being a pretty high-quality product with a good design (his VP being popular in Japan helped too), he has a community of people who use his voice and do it well. Yay.
     My opinion: No one could ever unseat Oliver as my favorite Vocaloid, of course, but Hio (no one says YOHIOloid every single time they say his name, so Hio is a nickname) is a close second. He just has such a nice voice.

Introduction

     Ah, actual content! Yay!      Ever since their invention, computers have been made to do amazing things, so much that they do some things better than humans. Computers surpassed the entire human race in raw computing power in 1977* and since have bested us us in chess, GO, and other games. But computers do have a definite advantage in those kinds of things, they are made to input, store, and use concrete information, which, compared to them at least, humans are inherently not as good at. How about we give them a real challenge, an unfair one, one that is the most biased towards humans’ skills as possible, so we can feel good about ourselves for at least a decade or so… How about singing? The human vocal cords are just so weird and so unique that anything other than humans singing will be a real challenge. I mean, they’ve been able to do that since 1961, but that certainly doesn’t mean they sounded human. The IBM 7094 sounded like a cross between a ro...

Vocaloid Descriptions: Megpoid (Gumi)

Image
     (Note: I have realized that, ya know what, I don't have to describe Vocaloids I don't like. So there. Oh, and about Gumi vs Megpoid, Megpoid is her product name and Gumi is her character name. I know, it's confusing, but it it what it is.) Gumi has a lot of different boxarts so I just chose this one. Eh. Gum i Voice donor: Megumi Nakajima Engine: V2 Company: Made and sold by Internet Co. Release date: June 2009 Updates and/or additional voicebanks: V3 update, extends, English voicebank, V4x update Language: Japanese, English Voice type: Slightly “scratchy” high-ranged female voice. Sounds about in her late teens to early twenties. Strengths: Gumi honestly has the best English of the Big 8. She is a professional-quality product, with a lot of different voicebanks (the most of any Vocaloid, in fact), each suited to different genres, to choose from. Weaknesses: Her design is… Hmm. She has a slight Japanese accent. Her English especially has a bit of a “percussive”...

Updated Music I Like Post

     I did one of these a while ago, except in two separate posts, so that was weird, and I put my Vocaloid music in an unusual format, and I have more music I like now, so in summary, I'm doing another one. Wow, that was one sentence. Anyway, let's get started.      I like most electronic music in general, although I don’t like songs with nothing going on in them, musically, like this one . It’s just boring and harsh. That’s probably a result of my extremely classical/folk musical ear.      I like the music labels Monstercat (especially Tristam): Disconnected , Saturday Morning Space Ride , Frame of Mind , Bone Dry , Till It's Over      ...and The Arcadium. Luminous , Until We Fall , Sugar High , The New Beginning , Levitation , Delphinium , Ball Bounce , Around You , Flute Gamer , Lights , Awe , Our Last Time , Never Let Me Go , Keystone      I got into JJD and Skylike from The Arcadium. I haven’t listened...
