In VOCALOID2, large adjustments produced insignificant changes, so usually people didn't adjust this value very much.

Unlike the other parameters, its value is adjusted through a series of individual bars per note instead of a continuous curve a trait carried from the old 'Note Velocity' parameter. This parameters affects strongly the fricatives and affricates, like the "s" and "f" sounds. Higher velocities result in shorter consonants and subjectively affects the attack of the lyric. Velocity determines how quickly the singers pronounces the note/word, thus influencing consonant trailing and consonant duration. A selection of them were available in V1, though some possess new functions or work in a different way. Despite the changes between each version, the basic functionality of these parameters hasn't suffered drastic modification since then. Parameters from VOCALOID2 and onwards įrom the 2nd version of the software, there have been a series of parameters that have become common in all the succeeding versions of YAMAHA's singing software. The higher the value is, the later the timing is the lower the value the sooner the note is sung. However, it should be mentioned that Portamento is generally affected more by the singing style, rather than the Portamento Timing Parameter itself after the 1.1 update. Portamento Timing is used to change the timing of the notes. The default at 12 allows for a pitch variation of ☑ octave, and at 24 it allows for a pitch variation of ☒ octaves.

Pitch Bend Sensitivity is used to decrease or increase the range of the Pitch Bend Parameter.

However it needs to be used with the Pitch Bend Sensitivity to unlock its full range. It can allow the voice to go up to ☒ octaves from the original note. The Pitch Bend Parameter goes from -8192 to 8191 with 0 as its default. A thing to note is when importing VSQs into V1, the Singer Icon will appear twice instead of once. The Singer Parameter is used to change voices in the control track. This is one of the parameters that is no longer available in later versions of the software. Each parameter controlled a specific formant, changing the pronunciation of vowels and the timbre of the singing voice. The Resonances were a group of parameters that allowed users to edit the formants of the singing samples individually. Unlike any other parameter used in V1, the pencil tool cannot be used with it, and instead uses individual bars for modify it's value.Īs the Note Velocity was replaced with the Velocity (VEL) parameter on later version of software, it's important take note of this if you ever attempt to export a VSQ file into a VOCALOID MIDI file. Note Velocity determines the individual volume of each note (similar to the Velocity measurement of the MIDI format) and it's automatically created when a note is drawn. This is one of the parameters that's no longer available in later versions of the software. This also affects the "breathiness" of the voice. For this reason mostly affects to consonants, especially the unvoiced ones. Opposite to Harmonics, the Noise parameter controls the level of the unvoiced content in the voice. Although it was removed from V3 onwards, it's possible achieve devoicing of the sonorants with the addition of a '_0' suffix to the intended phoneme. Vowels and other sonorants are always voiced, so they're the most affected by this parameter. The Harmonics parameter controls the level of harmonic content in the voice, thus affecting the phonation. Raising the Gender Factor will produce a thicker masculine tone while lowering it will give a more feminine, or even "chipmunk-like", sound to the voice. Shifts the overall formant structure of the voice over a large range. A higher value sharpens the voice, lowering it gives a more muted sound. Similar to Brightness, Clearness is designed to 'clear' the voice, making it sharper. Lowering the value creates a more mellow voice. The higher the value, the brighter the sound. VOCALOID1's Parameters Brightness īrightness changes the voice by boosting or cutting the voice's high-frequency content.
