Equipped with 2 Types of Voicebanks! Not only cute voices but also captivating ones!

*This is a screen during development and may differ from the actual product.

'Hatsune Miku V6' is a VOCALOID6-compatible vocal synthesis software (also known as virtual singer software) equipped with two types of voicebanks, 'Original' and 'Soft', which support (*1) Japanese, English, and Chinese. It is optimized for a vocal synthesis engine utilizing VOCALOID:AI, and simply by inputting lyrics and melody, you can achieve fluent singing with natural breathing, interweaving multiple languages.

◆ 'Original', expressive and resonating naturally: A cute and straightforward voice that inherits 'Miku-ness'.
◆ 'Soft', gentle to expand expressions: A breathy, captivating, and dreamy voice.

Furthermore, because it learns pitch transitions, volume transitions, timing, accents, etc., through machine learning, it excels in vocal expressions where you can feel the warmth and natural fluctuations close to human voices. With such algorithms, it can be fully utilized even with default settings, but of course, it is also possible to reflect the creator's particularities down to the details. For example, you can adjust the tension of the voice with the 'Expression Parameter', or intuitively edit delicate singing expressions such as shakuri (scoop), vibrato, and tame (delay) while watching the pitch/volume curves on the screen. Moreover, by utilizing the 'TAKE function', which generates multiple vocals with different nuances from a single phrase, you can easily create thick harmony parts.

Let's pursue the ideal singing voice together with the virtual singer 'Hatsune Miku', feeling as if you are directly directing your own personal vocalist!

*1) Chinese support will be available later via a free update.

The V6 'Hatsune Miku' is a new design by LAM! A 'Miku with independence'.

'Hatsune Miku', born as music production software, also has an aspect as a character depicted on the software's package. The newly designed 'Hatsune Miku' adopted as the package illustration for 'Hatsune Miku V6' was created by illustrator LAM.

Unlike previous VOCALOID versions of Hatsune Miku (*2), 'Hatsune Miku V6' technically does not just passively accept the user's instructions but is equipped with functions that assist the user's production process compared to older versions. Taking into account such changes as software, LAM drew a design based on it. We have released a three-view drawing, so please use it for fan art, costume making, etc.

*2) Currently, there are products equipped with the VOCALOID engine (VOCALOID version) and products equipped with an engine uniquely developed by Crypton (NT version) in the 'Hatsune Miku' software lineup.

Finally, here is a comment from our Wataru Sasaki, who has been involved in the development of 'Hatsune Miku' since the initial planning in 2007.

Thank you for waiting so long from the announcement of 'Hatsune Miku V6' to its release. Although it became a last-minute announcement, in addition to the 'Original' voicebank with the characteristic Hatsune Miku singing voice continuing since 2007, we have released it with the soft singing voice 'Soft' added. Hatsune Miku is a singer with various expressions, and we hope the Japanese and English singing voices of this VOCALOID6 Hatsune Miku will bring new...
