    Vocaloid

    in Performance

    Posted

       HSS statistically analyzises Top 30 hits to determine mathematical similarities in pitch, tempo, and structural format, as well as spectral analysis and over 25 additional variables directly from the digitalized audio signal.

       It has been noted that there are a finite number of clusters that all most all hit songs fall into.

       Although I have not had direct access to this data, it can be hypothesising that there are 18-55 mathematical archtypes based on the clustered formation.

       HSS does not take into consideration of vocal content although the tonal aspects make a marked expression as a vocal insturment. While Vocaloid may still be in it's infancy, I believe a synthetic vocal insturment will be more efficent at matching the model of the mathematical archtype.

       This voiceset sampling technique  is similiar to MBROLA synthesis. Voice set creation is extensive and requires a studio enviroment. the possiblity of reanimating a deceased performance artist vocals is highly unlikely with this technique. Leave it to Yamaha to dress it up fun enough for kids to play with.

    So all we need is the formula and we can have a hit record in a blink of an eye!... We need to send in the Finnish comandoes to aquire the formula... H, Ollgu! Get yer gear on, you're going in...  8)

    I found this an interesting quote.

    the BPI wanted to educate people about the long-term damage to the music industry caused by illegal file-sharing. But he acknowledged that attempts to curb the practice by appealing to music lovers' better nature had proved largely unsuccessful in countries such as Canada.

    I wonder if it's because the 'people' view the music industry as nothing more than a bunch of rip off merchants! My daughter is 17, she loves music but she earns less than the price of a CD. She has asked me several times to install kazza (sp?) so that she can download some music. Being a musician and songwriter myself, I have tried to explain to her the rights and wrongs of this. She just looks at her pay packet each week!... Consequently, I end up paying for the occasional CD which I believe is generaly overpriced.

    My first wife used to wash her hair with it... Grounds for divorce I'd say!...

    I gave up drinking beer at gigs when I got pissed one night before a  gig, and every solo I tried to play, I fluffed... I'm glad I was pissed! Otherwise the embarresment would have been unbearable!   :-[

    Hey Jay

    I've never used an SU 700, but I have to be honest, I wasn't that impressed with the A3000.  I didn't find the interface user friendly, the effects were pretty poor and editing options were limited.

    Still, somewhat of a step up from a Casio VL tone!

    Cheers

    John

    I'm still hoping to work my way up to a Casio VL tone...  ;D
