Thank you for making such an excellent, detailed tutorial on how to improve the vocals on Syntheziser V Solaria. I am sure this information will help us all immensely! Kudos!!!👍
Great videos for anyone like me who’s really trying to master the Synthesizer V software. The company tutorials are a decent start, but they’re just too rushed which makes it difficult to learn a lot from them. Please keep creating these!
Thank you so much for your synthesiser V tutorials. I just got the software about a week ago and I’ve learnt more watching 5 minutes of your tutorial than a weeks worth of searching the internet and reading. Subscribed and about to binge all your vids 😁👍 Great video.
Hi , random youtuber passing by , i think i might purchase this software because of your demo video ( i'm at 4:03 timestamp of your video and i actually skipped a few seconds and i'm already sold due to your silky and friendly explanation ) thank you for the efforts mate :)
Awesome. This video explains how to deal with the excessive natural vibrato that exists in so many of the Synthesizer V voices. And the other tips are excellent as well.
I've been playing with Synth V Studio for a couple years now and you still taught me several things I didn't know you could do! Thanks for taking the time to go into detail on features. (I didn't know about the "hh" for exhaling!)
Thanks for sharing this! I bought it and spent the last 2 days playing with it... It's just amazing! The best voice synth I tried (I was so desapointed by vocaloid!!). So much control over evrything that really help make the voice sound natural... I made a cover of Ariana Grande Position for a first try... I may share it once finished...
Thank you for your efforts in inputting English lyrics in Synthesizer V and for persevering through some difficulties. I appreciate your willingness to learn and improve.
This is pretty much the same tweaking I have to do with most live vocalists regarding the vibratos and it’s great that you can change the emotions on just a word or phrase where you’d have to punch in with a live vocalist
The automatic splitting of text via "+" is quite a relief! Question: is there a possibility to make "real" copies of the generated words/syllables (i.e. that you can use the individual notes with spacing)?
Another vote of thanks for this (and the related set of videos) 👏 -- your work in putting these together is much appreciated. I actually produce using a different vocal synth (Yamaha Vocaloid) but have still found the general principles and workflow tips useful, e.g. to help create realistic -- or deliberately unrealistic! -- vocals.
Very useful and well explainef video. Thank you This would be truly awesome if it could be used directly inside a DAW, I tend to write songs using Ableton lives session view, if you could have a track with this on and each clip having a separate phrase that would be a winner
Superb, thank you. I've been dabbling with similar (import/export in standalone mode, then render to DAW) workflow. The BR and HH are new to me, and I haven't yet gotten good at working with drawing parameters, so watching this has been extremely helpful. The little gray SIL box that sometimes shows up between notes? It always sounds better when I get rid of that, but maybe I'm missing something.
The SIL box is "silence" that Synth V automatically inserts when clips don't touch. I use a Wacom pen/tablet so drawing is much easier. I've been doing less pitch drawing now that I discovered that using "takes" can reduce the vibrato (or at least change it!). I feel as if there are many more mysteries to unlock with this software!
I watch this one year later. Would you say the software is now better? I want to create some trance tracks with female vocals on them, wonder if this would work.
Great video! Do you know if there is an option to take an existing vocal wav file and import it into Synth 5, so that I can copy it on an AI track, so that I do not have to draw the melody and text in myself?
Thanks for this great overview, now one year later bought my version too ;) What I didn't found was an option export it as wave file. I use Synth V as a VST3 plugin in my DAW (Logic)
You have probably figured this one out already but if you set the chain link between the pencil tool and the pointer tool and then set up the pre-active letters ( i have mine set to 1 and 2 ) then it makes it easier and quicker to flip back and forth between pencil and pointer. for editing pitch or editing length of note.. sorry but it wont let me put in screen shot here.
I find it cumbersome either way... I'd like to see a single tool with a keyboard shortcut to change function while working - I always seem to be on the wrong the tool - thank goodness for undo!
Questions: 1) How did you get Cubase to fill in the MIDI notes like that? 2) Is it possible to import vocals from an artist to edit, and build a song around that? 3) What was that "MXXX" think you pulled up at @22:00? *Edit* 4) How might we install "Real Voice" plugin for synth V on a mac? th-cam.com/video/LLCI636WVgM/w-d-xo.html
great that you can drag midi into it! can't seem to get that to work in DP. I can export midi clipping and import but kinda defeats purpose of using as plugin vs standalone
Hey hey, Liked your tips in the video! Although the only issue is I'm new to the app itself, and it isn't easy to find a tutorial about the app. Most tutorials are 2 years old and I believe a lot has changed within the app since then. So, if you can create a tutorial series from beginner/starter to advance/end that would be really cool! Subscribed and looking forward to the upcoming videos :)
Hi there. Thanks for your effort. Really appreciated. Maybe you can help. If I grab a group of notes to move them to a different location, maybe one bar earlier, it changes the pitch of the whole group. Is there a function to freeze a group of notes to move them around without the AI changing it? Cheers
I purchased a copy of Synth V pro and a couple of voices, I use cakewalk but im having trouble using it in the software as a plugin (VSTi) I know your not using cakewalk but would you know the path that I need to 'point' the vst plug in manager to find the plugin file. I pointed it at the dreamtronics folder but it does not seem to find it. I looked in the the folder for a *.dll file or vst file and there does not appear to be one there. any help would be appreciated. thanks.. like your video's great help and tips.
Hey, nice vid - one thing, if you turn instant mode off you don't need to counteract the pitch/vibrato of the voice, as it will render the voice as parameter data which you can directly edit.
SynthV/Solaria likes to span the lyric 'our' over two notes. What's the easiest way to force it to stick to one note? I'm writing a sentence on the first note and then writing + on the subsequent notes for a phrase.
If you use Ctrl+L while you have the notes of a phrase selected, you'll be able to enter the lyrics of the phrase, and it'll separate the words out for you! You will have to add +s between each word with multiple syllables however, as it doesn't detect that, but with this method, you should be able to keep "our" as one note by just not putting any +s between it and the next word. Alternatively, I believe "our' is considered two vowels (ae er, I think? I may be wrong, I'm currently away from my computer to check). You could also enter in "our" as /.ae er/ (with the slashes) so it keeps it together. That should work with entering all the lyrics in one note, but it is better to enter each word separately, either all at once with Ctrl+L or individually.
Thanks so much, another great tutorial! When it comes to vocals I know that I don't know anything. 😆 Would love to see a tutorial on how to compose a track when you got the lyrics and the melody/chords and want to add AI vocals for a demo etc. - like what is really important when phrasing etc.. (a real singer obviously would know how to sing and use his/her voice as best as possible) ..thanks
please do a tutorial, about installing this thing. Nothing works, in or out of my DAW. No voices, and I purchased a pack of voices. It is so frustrating!!!!!
DAW integration is only available with the "Pro" version and only DAWs that support ARA. There is a VST plugin version of Synth V but it's too basic to be of any real use - importing to/from the standalone is best.
Ok interesting question... I see that you are using Cubase - but you are not using this application as a VST. I tried to use it in Cubase as a VST and it does not seem to load voices. I can get the sinewave - but once I try to load a voice I get silence... Have you run into this? Feels like a bug I am going to shoot them an email... Any thoughts. Nice job on the video though - you remind me of 'Pink Buddha' (another TH-camr)
I don't have any troubles running Synth V as an instrument in Cubase. I find the limitation of being unable to drag a Cubase MIDI file into Synth V whilst running inside Cubase makes it a pointless exercise. If Synth V was ARA2 compliant, I could see the benefits... but it's basically running as a standalone on top of Cubase without "the" crucial feature.
@@mixphantom0101 OK I figured it out… I had to uninstall, synthesizer V and reinstall it. Something must’ve gotten goofed up on the way in the door. Works fine now wasn’t working before. In reason or key base. Just locked up both DAWS. The funny thing is it worked perfectly standalone lol but here we go. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I understand this technology is revolutionary in this time but I do want to address an issue with their policy. Once you use the software and let’s say produce a song with it, the company says that in order for you to release it you have to feature the voice of the software you where using. Why is no one mentioning this. Cause that would stop a lot of people from purchasing or using this product. Why do I have to mention the name of an AI synth? I don’t mention the name of the software I use in the song title. Please address this point.
I'm not sure this is the case... my reading of the EULA is you're free to use their voices in any sort of production but are prohibited from renaming the voice. So, if you've created a song with DT's "Kevin", you can't release that song with vocal credit to a different name (like your own name... or a made up name). Not giving credit appears to be permissible.

Great tutorial. Also your voice is one of the best voice for doing tutorial.
One of the best Synth V tuts ever! Thanks a million.
Awesome. This video explains how to deal with the excessive natural vibrato that exists in so many of the Synthesizer V voices. And the other tips are excellent as well.
You can use the expression parameter to reduce the vibrato in most cases.
Absolutely! The audio to MIDI feature has made it so much easier to create a natural performance.
One of the smartest and clearest instructive videos I've ever watched. Top job, thanks!

I just bought and installed Synthesizer V, with Solaria voice - yours was the 1st tutorial I found. Amazing!!!!! Thanks.
Thank you for your efforts in inputting English lyrics in Synthesizer V and for persevering through some difficulties. I appreciate your willingness to learn and improve.
This is an exemplary tutorial. 20 minutes well spent, thank you!
This is such a helpful guide! I've been curious as to what half the buttons do, but now I feel like I have a much better understanding of the program!
This is pretty much the same tweaking I have to do with most live vocalists regarding the vibratos and it’s great that you can change the emotions on just a word or phrase where you’d have to punch in with a live vocalist
Thank you for so many helpful, in-depth tips and techniques. The best I've seen so far.
Nice job-- I really appreciated this video and watching your workflow
This answers so many of my questions! Thanks
The automatic splitting of text via "+" is quite a relief! Question: is there a possibility to make "real" copies of the generated words/syllables (i.e. that you can use the individual notes with spacing)?
Not that I know of.

cheers! My biggest criticism is the lack of "deep" tutorials from Dreamtonics so I thought I'd share what I've learned/discovered so far!
Really good tips, new subscriber
Great useful video, thanks a lot
Such an awesome walkthrough--thank you!!!!!

Hi! Just letting you know that the AI voices respond to every single parameter in Synth V.
thx really helpful. synth v should make more tutorial like this.

Is there a full version of this song you're working on in this video out anywhere? I really like it :o
link to Annie Lennox video in the description.
@@mixphantom0101 I'm not seeing it, is the description just not updated yet?
@Teal Tactics I assumed you were after the Vampire Lovesong from my last video! This song is just a verse I wrote for the demo so that's it for now. 🙂
@@mixphantom0101 oh i see :v in any case, it sounds awesome so far!
Great video! Do you know if there is an option to take an existing vocal wav file and import it into Synth 5, so that I can copy it on an AI track, so that I do not have to draw the melody and text in myself?
Not yet... but since Vocaloid 6 does it, I'm sure Synth V has it on their "to do list"!
Does anyone know how to move notes up/down an octave in SynthV. If I drag with the cursor the start/end/duration of notes often changes.
Best I could do is change the grid size to Do Not Snap and move with the mouse cursor as carefully as possible.
In Windows it's Ctrl+U for up an octave and Ctrl+D for down
Thanks for this great overview, now one year later bought my version too ;) What I didn't found was an option export it as wave file. I use Synth V as a VST3 plugin in my DAW (Logic)
I don't think Logic has full ARA2 support... just Cubase, Studio One and Reaper
@@mixphantom0101 Thanks, I found the export in Synthesizer V and I have Cubase 13 too, so I check it out with Cubase.

great that you can drag midi into it! can't seem to get that to work in DP. I can export midi clipping and import but kinda defeats purpose of using as plugin vs standalone
I don't use it as a plugin as I can't copy and paste MIDI into Synth V whilst running in Cubase.

Is there a way to lock the DAW’s transport to SVP’s?
There is no more "instant mode" button....I can't seem to find where to turn it off at
I figured it out
Great video. Thanks.
How did you get solaria as a demo?
Hi there. Thanks for your effort. Really appreciated. Maybe you can help. If I grab a group of notes to move them to a different location, maybe one bar earlier, it changes the pitch of the whole group. Is there a function to freeze a group of notes to move them around without the AI changing it? Cheers
If you start dragging the group of notes and then hold down the "Ctrl key" it constrains the movement to horizontal only.
I purchased a copy of Synth V pro and a couple of voices, I use cakewalk but im having trouble using it in the software as a plugin (VSTi) I know your not using cakewalk but would you know the path that I need to 'point' the vst plug in manager to find the plugin file.

Sorry... no idea re Cakewalk. As far as I can tell it's simply having the DLL in the VST directory your DAW scans.
Hey, nice vid - one thing, if you turn instant mode off you don't need to counteract the pitch/vibrato of the voice, as it will render the voice as parameter data which you can directly edit.
Good tip! Although, I still get better results editing the A.I. generated vibrato than using a time constant LFO... sounds too much like Vocaloid!
I notice at 12:54 “SIL” shows up between words. It happens to me. Can you say what it is?
Silence, it means there is a gap between your midi notes
A great Tutorial ;-)

Awesome!

will a cheap Pen Tablet work with this?
Of course... if you're on Windows make sure you turn off the INK functions as they are really annoying.
Hey, do you have tricks to give emotions to the voice? Like anger, shouting, laughing, ...
Not yet... but certainly a challenge!

Can it use your own voice?
Sure... if it sounds good. It's just a simple high end boost but specifically contoured to control some of the resonances in the "soft" Solaria voice.
