Announced vocals

These are VOCALOID voicebanks known to be in production. Their status and licensing are unknown, but most are presumed to have commercial licenses.

It takes approximately 4 hours in total for a Japanese VOCALOID to be recorded. An English VOCALOID can take from a week to over a month to record all its samples. Pieced together during more than 4 months of tuning and assembling the software together, in addition to the possibility of a second set of recordings being made for better sample selection, a VOCALOID may take anywhere from 6 months to over 2 years to complete.

Furthermore, until consent is given, VOCALOIDs cannot be talked about by staff or their vocal providers.[2] This is due to legal grounds and therefore, fans must aware of this and respect the process involved in making just one of any of the VOCALOIDs.

Retired voicebanks

There are some VOCALOID voicebanks that were available commercially that have now been removed from sale or will be removed from sale in the near future. Vocals that have seen retirement may continue to be sold for some time after their initial retirement; however, they are on limited supply and will sell only while the stock lasts. Their usage is limited to those who are able to access these vocals before or since their retirement, as no new stock has been released containing their vocals.

Please note the VOCALOID and VOCALOID2 engines are unsupported entirely. VOCALOID will retire "in the near future", when Yamaha signals to the studios involved to retire them from sale. VOCALOID2 vocals will remain on sale, as their vocals can be used in VOCALOID3.

They were replaced with "SE" (Second Edition) versions with the most up-to-date version of the VOCALOID3 engine available, plus 3 new plug-ins there were also available for download from the VOCALOID shop. Aside from this, there were no additional differences between the products and users with the older versions did not need to purchase the new "SE" products.[45]

Private licenses

Private voicebanks are created under license for non-commercial use. Private vocals are much harder to confirm than commercially released vocals and their progress is impossible to determine; however, they are becoming more and more common. The voicebanks in the section are listed by VOCALOID engine era. Unlike commercially released vocals, private vocals are only allowed to be used by producers who have been given permission and are hired to create songs for use by the license holders.

There were no known private licenses released during the VOCALOID era. However, the original intention of the engine was to be released only as a privately licensed product; this did not happen because Crypton Future Media was able to convince Yamaha it was more beneficial to release it as a commercial product. Therefore, this kind of licensing was considered for the software from the start.

During the VOCALOID2 era of development, Yamaha began to test the waters to see if it was profitable to create VOCALOIDs for private use and began to develop VOCALOID-flex as a means to allow VOCALOID to extend its capabilities beyond just singing. A number of vocals were created in the VOCALOID2 era; take note this does not mean they were using the VOCALOID2 software. After VOCALOID3 was released, Yamaha sought to make the licensing of such vocals more common. A number of vocals were created in the VOCALOID3 era; take note this does not mean they were using the VOCALOID3 software.

Project Details
N/A A VOCALOID-flex voicebank was used in the game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.[46][47] This was the first private license of VOCALOID known to have been announced commercially. Due to popular misconceptions, its name was believed to be "ZEKE" after the "Gear" (the games name for its Mecha) "ZEKE" as it is the most frequent Gear the player will know within the game. However, it actually remains nameless and despite its association with ZEKE, VOCALOID-flex was used for several "Gears" within the game.
Akikoloid-chan LAWSON convenience store chain's mascot, "Akiko-chan" received a makeover and synthesized voice on the VOCALOID3 engine to become "Akikoloid-chan," who acts a navigator for LAWSON's Niconico channel. Commissioned albums using her voice have been granted. On July 23, 2014, it was revealed that her usage in music had been discontinued. Despite this, she will remain as a public character representing LAWSON.
Ueki-loid Older Male VOCALOID, Ueki-Loid is the first attempt to resurrect a dead singer and has the voice of the late singer Hitoshi Ueki. It has been stated that this vocal will never be released commercially. Ueki-loid was made to demonstrate the capabilities of the VOCALOID software. He is now VOCALOID3. Also, his creation marks the start of a new series of Vocals called "Legend of VOCALOID".
hide "hide" is also having a vocal revival similar to Ueki-loid. hide died in 1998, and was the guitarist of group "X Japan".[48]
Project 575
Kobayashi Matcha and Masaoka Azuki: characters in the Project 575 series made by SEGA are confirmed to have voices using the VOCALOID2 software.[49]
ONA ONA was revealed to be an alternate mascot using VOCALOID MAIKA's voicebank,[50] marketing more heavily on the Catalan capabilities of the software. She was later confirmed to be used for concert purposes only.[51] Before Voctro Labs confirmed that ONA used MAIKA's software, it was originally stated that she was a Catalan Vocaloid; but this has since been debunked.
Anri Rune Anri Rune originally started as a virtual announcer for Fuji Television. In 2013, she received a VOCALOID voicebank and debuted with her demo song "Hallelujah Super Idol". Afterwards, she slipped into limbo for a long period of time. She was eventually confirmed to be a private vocal and would never sell.
Alsloid Alsloid is a currently private male vocal. He may see a full release depending on the reaction to him.

Exclusives/Limited

Since the start of the VOCALOID3 era, a new type of release has also appeared, this being exclusive/limited vocals. These are given out in limited numbers or in exclusive events as prizes; they are not for sale. Thus, there are a limited number of ways to obtain them.

VOCALOID Details
galaco 2012 This former voicebank was offered as a prize in the VOCALOID music contest held by the VOCALOID shop. Anyone who gets 1,000+ views on Niconico with an entry in the contest will be able to get this VOCALOID for free.[52][53][54] However, usage of galaco was not intended to be permanent and users wanting to keep her up were forced to keep extended her expiratory date. Users were unable to gain her voice after December 31, 2012, her code expired on the January 31, 2013. Any code obtained for an extension expires on April 31, 2013. She was bound to the account of each individual and therefore re-sale is not possible. An updated version of her voicebank was released in August 2014.

Misc. unreleased/cancelled voicebanks

The following is a list of known but unreleased VOCALOID voicebanks that were once intended for commercial release. These vocals managed to reach a status where they could be released commercially; however, for one reason or another were never released. Some producers may have access to these vocals, as they were given the voicebanks by the VOCALOID studios to use with permission. This list does not include beta stage voicebanks (such as CV-4Cβ) or unnamed known delayed projects (such as Project If...).

Company Details
PowerFX/VocaTone VOCALOID2
  • BIG AL - Big AL's original voicebank was not released and was replaced. The original voicebank had a quality related issue, but the provider was unable to complete a recording session to improve results and therefore a new provider was found.
  • Ruby - a Japanese vocal was made for her but due to the workload and licensing fees, it cannot be released.[55] Success of her English vocal may lead to other vocals being considered for her.[56]
Crypton Future Media VOCALOID2
  • MEIKO Append VOCALOID2 - Featured in the Project mirai games, but did not meet the VOCALOID2 era deadline. It was released for VOCALOID3 as MEIKO V3.
  • KAITO Append VOCALOID2 - Also featured in the same games, like MEIKO's VOCALOID2, it failed to meet the deadline for the VOCALOID2 retirement. It was released for VOCALOID3 as KAITO V3.
    • Also, it was reported that voicebanks "Mellow", "Serious", "Solid" and "Sweet" were recorded, as well as a couple of others bringing the total of voicebanks for KAITO up to 6, however it is known two of the vocals were dropped from the package all together. "Vivid" and "Power" are also named as other recorded vocals done with a new digital mic; nothing has been said on these vocals either. Much has changed in the production process in regards to KAITO's product and Crypton does not mention everything in regards to this issue.
  • Megurine Luka Append VOCALOID2 - Generally believed this was delayed because of VOCALOID2's retirement from sale. A few witnesses to a VOCALOID2 version of the package in commercial use have been noted. It was released for VOCALOID4 as Megurine Luka V4X.
  • Male vocal - Originally known as CV04, this VOCALOID was originally destined for VOCALOID2, but after Crypton Future Media got caught up in Hatsune Miku's plans, they ended up delaying the release of new vocals. There is little known about the status of the VOCALOID2 vocal and how far it was in production. Whether or not he will be released in the future is unknown.
  • Hatsune Miku (English) VOCALOID2 - Miku's English voicebank had not yet begun production. Upon the VOCALOID3 release, Wat mentioned that a VOCALOID2 version was developed. This vocal was never released as it did not produce satisfactory results. It was eventually released as "Hatsune Miku V3 English".


In February 2014, Wat mentioned that he was playing with the wavelengths of experimental Vocals he hoped to one day release. These 3 vocals he mentioned were KAITO "Light", Miku Falsetto and MEIKO "Hard".[57]

  • Miku "Falsetto" is a vocal which has never been released (engine unknown). This was recorded as a sort of 7th Append, its existence was made known in December 2010. The reason for its lack of release is that it was felt releasing it as a independent vocal would be useless.
Internet Co., Ltd VOCALOID2
  • Megpoid Extend VOCALOID2: Never made the VOCALOID2 deadline, but was released as the V3 Megpoid product instead. It is generally unknown how far into the project Internet Co., Ltd got before the transfer from V2 to V3 began or if the VOCALOID2 voicebank was ever completed.
  • Megpoid - Falsetto: Was cancelled when VOCALOID entered the VOCALOID3 engine due to the difficulty matching all 50 sounds in the falsetto voicebank to the normal Megpoid vocal. The idea for this vocal was eventually reworked into kokone.[58]
YAMAHA (Bplats, Inc.)
  • ZOLA PROJECT: A number of temporary vocals had been recorded to find the 3 most suitable candidates for ZOLA out of 40 singers in their teen-twenties years.[59]
  • Macne Nana; a Chinese prototype vocal was recorded. This has been put aside for a future release.
Shanghai HENIAN
  • Luo Tianyi Japanese; was originally planned for a Mid-October release in 2012, but was delayed for some time. The voicebank was not yet finished at the time of YANHE's development, however, they had hoped to have her released soon. Later in November 2013, it was confirmed that the vocal was cancelled, since the joint between Bplats and Shanghai HENIAN ended and the original VOCALOID CHINA PROJECT had been relaunched as VOCANESE. It was also revealed that another factor for the cancellation was due to a conflict between Japan and China during 2012. Because of this, the company feels that this issue would negatively affect Tianyi's sales and Japanese companies were pulling back their employees for the sake of their safety, causing many projects to be dropped, including Tianyi's Japanese voicebank.[60][61]
VocaNext
SBS A&T Co,. Ltd.
  • SeeU English: was expected to be released in Summer 2012. Recording for her English voicebank was confirmed to be finished in August 2012 and SBS reported that the voicebank will go through a tuning process.[62] However, on February 4, 2013, in response to a Korean fan's question about the progress of the English voicebank, SBS posted a reply that the development of the English voicebank was on hold. Reasons for this were unknown.[63]

Rumour mill

These vocals are rumoured or hinted to be released but their status has not been made official.

Possible future voicebanks

This section contains hints, confirmations and suggestions put out by VOCALOID studios.

Company Details
Zero-G Anders confirmed that if English VOCALOIDs become more popular, Zero-G will consider making Appends/Updates for their VOCALOIDs. Also, Anders confirmed if there is demand updates for all past Zero-G VOCALOIDs to newer engines, it is a possibility. The major factor in this though is the workload needed and involvement in the process against the demand.

Later they confirmed they will likely never update any of their VOCALOID range vocals.

In February 2015, in response to a fan's email, Zero-G expressed a desire to update AVANNA to VOCALOID4. However, their current main focus is to produce new vocals for the engine.

Celtic male; In the pre-release promotions for VOCALOID3, a male and female pair of vocals were announced for the VOCALOID3 engine. While AVANNA, the female, was released, the male did not. In March 2015 in response to a fan's e-mail, Zero-G responded they have yet to find the right voice for the role.[64]

They would consider XSY compatible vocals for Dex and Daina if they sell well.

Zero-G have confirmed they currently are not interesting in making voicebanks for any other language besides English and only want to focus on English.

PowerFX PowerFX confirmed in early 2012 they want to do a V3 Sweet ANN, but due to focus on their soundation product, and pulling together money for update, they currently cannot produce this voicebank.

On the 16th of May, 2015, PowerFX restated that they were not interested in updating Sweet Ann. However, they said that they would be willing to create a new Vocaloid if a group were able to perform a successful Kickstarter. They made this offer: If the group were able to provide an illustration, voice provider, name and complete plan; PowerFX would be willing to record, edit, manufacture and distribute the Vocaloid. If the Kickstarter received 100 preorders at a $100 USD discount, the project would be funded.[65]

If Ruby sells well, XSY compatible vocals for Ruby is a consideration.

Crypton Future Media Crypton Future Media is trying to find effective methods of adding English voicebanks to Megurine Luka Append. They have also hinted that while they have no plans currently, they may produce Hatsune Miku English Appends if circumstances allow it to occur.

Crypton have expressed desire to create more Append vocals for existing VOCALOIDs at some point in the future. These vocals will be even more expressive then current released Appends. For example; "Dark-Sweet, Warm-Sweet, Weak-Sweet".[66]

  • There are at least two known Hatsune Miku extra vocals that Crypton have planned, one of which was recorded (Falsetto) and several for KAITO. Whether or not these will ever be released is unknown.

Crypton has also expressed an interest in creating a Mandarin Chinese voicebank for Hatsune Miku.[67]

Internet Co., Ltd During 2012, a fan asked about other English vocals while Megpoid English was in production.[68] Lily and Gackpoid were brought up in a tweet during the Megpoid English development..[69] But English vocals could only occur if they were profitable.[70] Noboru had expressed hope to one day make a Gackpoid English.[71]

It was later mentioned that there are currently no plans to make any new English voicebanks. [72]

In October 2014[73]:

  • it was mentioned again there are no plans for Gackpoid English.
  • They also have no plans to do any Megpoid English Extends like vocals like "Power" and "Adult".
  • Lily English also was confirmed as having no plans. It was explained the reason there are currently no further plans for English vocals at this moment is due to the time (recording, developing and the time of all individuals involved) and money involved.
  • They also have no male vocals planned currently, but it was expressed Noboru wishes to do one in the future.
  • Noboru mentioned that there is a lack of vocals for English (and other languages). This is an issue that is trying to be resolved ~~(by those working with VOCALOID), though they (Internet co) do not have the solution yet.

Noboru confirmed that they wish to update all VOCALOID3s to the VOCALOID4 engine, but there is no specific schedule at the moment.[74][75]

Voctro Labs
  • In an interview with a Brazilian news site, Voctro said that in the future they would definitely be interested in making a Brazilian-Portuguese Vocaloid.[76]
  • In a Catalan newspaper, it was revealed that Voctro Labs is working on a project called "Revivos" in which they create voice banks based upon the vocals of deceased singers (similar to Ueki-loid). It's unknown if these voice banks will be commercially available or not.[77]
Bplats, Inc.
  • It was confirmed that Macne Nana French was noted to be a possible future vocal due to her provider also being able to speak French. With the cancellation of ALYS, the possibility of a French Nana is now limited.
  • In response to a fan's question, GYNOID is considering a Xin Hua Append, where a Japanese vocal may be present. However, for the Append to occur, Xin Hua's VOCALOID3 package must sell at least 5,000 units.[78]
AH-Software

In an interview, Tomohide Ogata expressed a desire to produce English versions of their VOCALOIDs, however, the project is too complex. He went on to explain that because all of their providers are Japanese, they would would rather seek English speakers of a similar voice to the Japanese versions from the United States and United Kingdom. They are currently considering how to provide bilingual capabilities for now, but are focusing on Japanese first before other languages such as English, Spanish, etc. They acknowledge the demand across the world for the vocals and want to move a plan into place as quickly as possible.[79]

We've Inc.

In response to a tweet, We've Inc. said that a V4 update for Rana is in consideration.[80]

Shanghai HENIAN

In response to fans' distress at the large amount of female Chinese VOCALOIDs, it was confirmed that the vocal after Stardust's release would be male.[81]

In a Q/A session with Shanghai HENIAN, fans asked questions about a possibility to update their VOCALOID3s. The company responded that it was always in consideration, but noted that upgrading a VOCALOID was not an easy job. It would require a lot of time, funding, and effort in order to revisit a VOCALOID, and the company's current operations and survival simply does not allow them to update any vocals for the time being.[82]

Awaiting further confirmation

The following are possible upcoming voicebanks whose statuses are not yet clarified, or they are vocal developments which are announced but have not had any updates about there statuses within the last six months.

Project Details Status
Kitano Kamui Originally presented as a "idol in training", Kamui was promoted via a Facebook campaign. If she reached 30,000+ followers within 6 months she would become a "real idol". Regardless, she failed to reach her deadline of 30,000+ supporters by the end of the 6 month campaign and her project was abandoned.[83] Since the abandonment, a revival campaign has been started and once again Kamui is being campaigned into becoming a idol, this time with a different approach. Note; When the first English translations came out, "idol" was translated to mean "Vocaloid". As to date there has never been any confirmation of any intention of her becoming a vocaloid.

Fakes/Jokes

Official

Boxart for the Vocaloid version of Furimoman

Itoh hiroyuki

Boxart for Itoh Hiroyuki V4X

  • Kasane Teto was an April Fool's Day joke on April 1, 2008 made out by the perpetrators to be a new Crypton Future Media VOCALOID. The legacy of this prank continued on for years after its original run and even today some less-informed fans believe she is a VOCALOID. Some time after the joke, an UTAU voicebank for her was created.
    • The group behind Teto, the "VIPPERS", have also passed off other characters ("VIPPERLOIDS") as being by Crypton Future Media (actually a variation, like CRVIPTON or CRVYPTON), such as Namine Ritsu, "CV03" Yokune Ruko, and "CV04" Kotone Tsuru.
  • On April 1, 2012, VocaTone announced that "James" would be made into a VOCALOID known as Bird-loid, however, this was an April Fools day joke.[84]
  • Another April Fools' day joke in 2012 was "Animaloid", which turned out to be also a hint about the upcoming MAYU VOCALOID.
  • Furimoman, was an April 1st 2014 VOICEROID/VOCALOID3 male vocal from AH-Software Co. Ltd..[85][86] Furimoman was featured alongside other AH-Software characters later on in April 2014 during a live stream event.[87]
  • Itoh Hiroyuki was an April 1st, 2015 VOCALOID4 male vocal from Crypton Future Media, Inc.. His voicebank was claimed to use the E.V.E.C. system, making him a V4X and he was part of the "CEO Vocal Series" of Crypton. When his cart button is clicked, the button moves off screen and is replaced with a small advertisement to purchase Megurine Luka V4X instead.[88]

Fanmade

  • Ange Wayne: A fake VOCALOID who was spammed over many websites (mainly English speaking ones) for over a month including (but not restricted to) Yahoo Answers, YouTube, the VOCALOID Wikia and VOCALOID Otaku forums. A website was also produced for Ange Wayne.[89]
  • Rune: (not to be confused with Anri Rune) A VOCALOID who was introduced in much the same manner as Ange Wayne, it has been deemed fake until proven otherwise for its manner it was introduced in. A fake "VOCALOID3" logo is found on the video; Twitter and Facebook accounts were also made, showing poor quality art work. The company behind it, "AudX", does not appear to exist.
  • Ion-Nation: Appeared in Late 2012, boasting a boy-band of young male VOCALOIDs. They made several videos and claimed to be part of "VocaTonF and PowerFK".
  • Taku: On October 31, 2013, a group called "VocaloMaker" claimed to be making a Spanish-Japanese VOCALOID that would need further approval from YAMAHA to continue. The video "demonstrating" Taku has been removed.
  • Seion Kodokuna: On March 30, 2014, a YouTube channel by the name of 未来のメディア (Mirai no Media Co.) uploaded what was claimed to be a demonstration of a new private VOCALOID using the voice of "a 10-year-old boy". Two more demos were released, one of the two covering a Brazilian song using the Japanese phoneme set, and also including further details on the vocals. The description noted that the VOCALOID would be a tri-lingual bank, using Japanese, English, and Portuguese. However, it was later revealed in the description of the fifth video uploaded that the user had created both the account and videos as a joke, as well as the VOCALOID used for this was that of the POCALOID version of Masaoka Azuki with GEN parameters increased.
  • VIBE: On December 28th, 2014, a small group decided to create a local joke for Spain's Day of the Innocents, where idea was to make the UTAU, VIBE, into a "VOCALOID4" with a Portuguese voicebank and extra phonemes to mimic Spanish and English. The group had designed a silhouette and a fake screenshot of the VOCALOID4 engine with edited in phonemes and voicebanks. The voice provider of the UTAU posted the images onto the VIBE fanpage, only to gain a few likes. However, by the next day, the joke was found by a humor page and the "news" was moved over to another website, who thought VIBE was actually going to becoming a VOCALOID. As the page was still local, the group behind VIBE kept silent. Afterwards, VIBE's "VOCALOID4 announcement" became viral in social media sites such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook, obtaining more attention from the Western fans. To continue the joke, the voice provider "leaked" information about VIBE's "development" on Twitter. Eventually, on the night of December 29th, the voice provider admitted that VIBE becoming a VOCALOID was a hoax, however, she was inspired by the fan's reaction to the joke. While VIBE is not a VOCALOID, the group is now motivated to try to make the fake "VOCALOID" a reality. [90]
  • STELLA: In early 2015, a virtual idol was introduced as a private 'Virtual Idol' made for a program that was based on common synthesis architecture. She was intended to raise money for the Americans for the Arts Foundation.[91] She was later 'revealed' to be a VOCALOID4 with three voicebanks: "Core" (original), "Sun" (Power)" and "Moon" (Soft).[92] On January 18th, a viewer noticed an issue with a STELLA demo, where the video was edited with an overlay.[93] It was then proven that STELLA was not an actual VOCALOID and the video was removed as soon as this was pointed out.[94][95]
