New Dreamtonics Voicebanks!

Dreamtonics has released a lot of new voicebanks recently, so we're going to run through all of the most recently released ones and their niches.

Ayame

Ayame is a japanese feminine voice with a mild tone, a pleasant mid-range and whispering lower register. She has a very distinct transition from chest voice to falsetto, making her perfect for melodies that fluctuate between the two.

Eri

Eri is a japanese feminine voice meant for rap music with versatile vocal modes to change her tone based on the meant of rap she's singing. She also transitions into singing very smoothly.

Hayden

Hayden is an english masculine voice meant for contemporary pop music. He has a husky tone and evokes the music of early aughts.

Jin

Jin is a japanese masculine voice with a gritty-yet-bright tone who exceeds at singing soulfully and passionately.

Sheena

Sheena is an english and japanese feminine voice with a mature tone. She has a tone that exceeds in R&B, soul, blues, and emotional pop.

Wei Shu

Wei Shu is a cantonese masculine voice who is an all around good choice for any kind of song, as he can seamlessly weave from emotional ballads to upbeat pop songs without missing a beat.

Synthesizer V

What is Synthesizer V?

Synthesizer V is an AI vocal synthesis engine developed by Dreamtonics. It has a text-to-speech counterpart named Voicepeak.

It is very simple to use. Simply add notes, enter lyrics, and press play.

Is it ethical?

We are aware that this is a big concern for many people. Do not worry! All Synthesizer V voice banks are 100% consensual and the singers are paid for their labor.

Translation: "There are concerns that the high quality of the latest AI voice synthesis software, including VOICEPEAK, may take away from the work of the actors who are in charge of the voice. We are concerned that the high quality of the output of the latest AI text-to-speech software, including VOICEPEAK, may take away from the work of the actors in charge of the voices. We will continue to seek a direction that will benefit both the increasing use of text-to-speech software and those who are in charge of the voice. For VOICEPEAK Koharu Rikka, we have started to give a portion of the sales (royalties) from commercial use licenses to the voice actor's agency. We will continue to seek better ways to keep up with the evolution of text-to-speech software and the times."

Voicebank Announcement: Haruno Sora

Haruno Sora (cv. Inoue Kikuko) from vocaloid is getting a SynthV bank! So far all we know is that it’s being produced by AHS and that she’ll also have a voicepeak talk bank to go along with it, much like other AHS banks. Real exciting that they’re porting both vocaloids and utauloids to SynthV, though.
