Many sound sources for UTAU (*2) are available on the internet, and you can import them and make them sing with PaintVoice.

Please try it out.

[How to Use]

Operation is simple.

You can input and play notes with the same feel as drawing software, using a pen, eraser, copy & paste, and undo/redo!

Entering musical notes is as simple as dragging your finger across a chart called the piano roll to select the desired note.

Entering lyrics is also easy; simply enter the lyrics (pronunciation) in hiragana.

Detailed instructions are currently being prepared.

Basic operation is almost identical to PaintMusic2, except for the vocal track, so please refer to the following video.

(*1) What is VOCALOID? (※Quoted from Wikipedia below)

It is a general term for the voice synthesis technology developed by Yamaha and its applied products. The abbreviation "Vocaloid" is also used.

By inputting melodies and lyrics, it is possible to synthesize singing voices based on sampled human voices.

Regarding compatible sound sources, various companies that have licensed Yamaha have independently produced singer libraries containing sampled voices, which are then combined with Yamaha's software and sold as products.

"VOCALOID" and "Vocaloid" are registered trademarks of Yamaha Corporation.

(*2) UTAU (Utau) (※Quoted from Wikipedia below)

UTAU is a singing voice synthesis software for Windows and Mac OS distributed as freeware by Ameya/Ayame.
