[Edit this paragraph] Software concept
Compared with the speech synthesis software before CRYPTON, this series uses completely different concepts. Developers hope to bring more imagination and fun to electronic music production through animation seiyuu and the personality setting of virtual idols, rather than just relying on the "cute" characters on the appearance packaging to attract consumers. Before Hatsune Miku, the same company had launched the same type of software MEIKO and KAITO, but only the music production industry was interested at that time (although MEIKO still sold 4,000 sets of music software). Later, an employee who likes animation put forward the plan of "Beautiful Girl Virtual Singer", and the idea came from some sci-fi works, especially the TV animation "Oh! スーパーミルクチャンンンンンンンンンンンンンンンン12
[Edit this paragraph] Software introduction
The software uses Yamaha's VOCALOID 2 speech synthesis engine to record and synthesize human voices into real songs. In addition to the most basic input tones and lyrics, you can also adjust vibrato, sound speed (VEL, intensity), intensity (DYN), breathing sound (BRE, breath), brightness (BRI, brightness), transparency (CLE, clarity), mouth opening (OPE, aperture) and gender parameters (GEN, gender factor). Sliding position (POR, sliding timing), Pitch Bend (PIT, Pitchbend) and pitch bend sensitivity (PBS, pitch bend sensitivity), etc. At most, it can be sung by 16 people, and it also supports instant performance and corresponding rewiring. After the production is completed, it will be output in WAV format, but the software itself can only produce the singing part, and the accompaniment sound needs to be synthesized by other music software. Compared with VOCALOID in 2003, all the performances have been improved. However, the input of lyrics can't recognize は and へ as auxiliary words, ぅ and ぃ as long sounds, and they will be changed to わ, ぇ, ぉ and ぇ respectively, which can't be promoted correspondingly and need to be modified by themselves. The software is not designed for beginners, and users who are new to electronic music production need some time to get used to it. Therefore, 2ch and other places also have many teaching discussion series for this kind of users. Osaka University of Electric Communication even held lectures for beginners on June 5438+1October 65438+September and June 5438+1October 25, 2007.

Japanese writing
Hatsune Miku Japanese original Hatsune Miku Hatsune Hatsune/Hatsune Miku pen name Hatsune Miku main entry: Hatsune Miku Hatsune Miku (Hatsune Hatsune, Hatsune Miku) (referred to as "Hatsune Hatsune" in some Chinese circles) was designed by illustrator KEI in an animated style. Officials say Hatsune Miku is good at the latest pop songs from the 1980s. As soon as it was released, it was very popular, setting a rare high sales volume in the music software industry. By the beginning of 65438+February, more than 25000 sets had been sold.
set up
Age: 16 years old, height: 158cm, weight: 42kg, genre: pop song rhythm: 70 ~ 150bpm (originally set at 80 ~ 150). ) Good range: A3 ~ E5 (initially set to C3 ~ E4. The highest and lowest limits of actual software are G8 and C-2, respectively. When the pitch is higher or lower than a certain pitch, the output effect will become unsatisfactory, and even the sound will become smaller. Clothes and machinery are based on DX series released by Yamaha in 1983. The initial setting of the left arm "0 1" was a two-dimensional code, and the original design of the clothes was a sailor suit, but CRYPTON felt that it was not good enough and changed it to the current clothes design. Character design is better than MEIKO in 2004. It is meaningless for the creator to insist on "original setting" under the role design with only basic setting and "incomplete". Moreover, the connection between Hatsune Miku and the original sound Fujita Saki is not profound, and there are not too many constraints in creation. Therefore, it is easy for users to have feelings about "Hatsune Miku's own creation" and produce a large number of works.

The soundtrack was provided by Shimoda Asami, who is a newcomer and is also very popular in NICONICO Animation Company. Like Hatsune Miku, KEI designs characters and paintings. On June 5438+065438+1 October1day, 2007, the name "リン" was published. The Chinese characters "Ling" and "Zhong" have the meaning of attracting others' attention, while "Lenka" is "the voice in the mirror" and "the different surnames reflected by oneself in the mirror". The themes are "the world in the mirror" and "the intersection of illusion and reality". 165438+June 7th, because in February 2007, DTM magazine was released in advance, including CV02, so the surname and seiyuu were published earlier than the official. She is not related to Hatsune Miku by blood, but she is often called "Sister". On February 3rd of the same year, at 65438, the male voice "Karma Ren (レンンンンンンンンンンンンンンンンン" The Chinese characters for this name are Lian and Pity. Lian means connected existence, and the translation of Pity is love between twins. The Roman letters "Bell" and "Pity" also mean "LR". Although they have the same surname as Lian (Lian), they are not brothers and sisters and have no friends. They are just "the opposite sex reflected by themselves in the mirror" because CRYPTON wants to use his home to have more creative space. The singing databases of Ling and Lian (Lian) are separate, and the production cost is higher than that of Hatsune Miku, but Ling and Lian (Lian) are sold as a set of software, and the price is similar to that of Hatsune Miku. This is because the craze in Hatsune Miku has suddenly increased the number of beginners in electronic music production, but the price of 65,438+05,750 yen is more difficult for ordinary people to buy (but lower in similar software), so CRYPTON decided to add more content to the software at the same price in Hatsune Miku. In addition, before the official audition music was made public, the software effects of Bell and Lian had been made public in other places.

So it may be difficult to use sound sources so far. It goes without saying that the fluency of pop music mixed with Japanese and English must be very universal in order to correspond to global music.

Since The Image of Kagamine Rin was published, the famous "holding an onion" in Hatsune Miku's adaptation of Ievan Polkka has triggered a discussion about "What should a clock match".
