About Vocaloid Wiki
Vocaloid 3 introduction
You can't fight progress, no matter how strange it sounds.
~ Miriam Stockley, voice provider of "Miriam".

Vocaloid1 and Vocaloid2 are voice synthesizing applications, they have been commerically sold since 2004 and began from one of the simplest ideas of synthesizing the human vocals for singing. From the start this was never a easy task for the programmers behind the software, but from that beginning to what we have now Vocaloid has grown into a synthesizing phenomena. There are many different vocaloids, such as Kaito, Hatsune Miku, Kamui Gakupo and SF-A2 miki who sing in Japanese or vocaloids like Lola, Big Al and Miriam who sing in English and even opera such as with Tonio.

This wikia is dedicated to the exchanging of information on the Vocaloid program and sharing the passion of their music. We like to try and appeal to all Vocaloid fans, both old and new, we do not discriminate against a Vocaloid because of language nor design or even because of its voice. We acknowledge that not everyone will share the same tastes as each other and that their reasons for liking Vocaloid is varied. Please help us maintain our drive to bring information on Vocaloids to their fans and help expand our knowledge on Vocaloids. All are welcomed to edit freely, all we ask is you reframe from non-productive edits or acts of vandalism and that you be nice to other editors so this wikia can maintain a safe friendly working environment for all.

Notices

Important

This Wiki uses Japanese Kanji and Kana on many pages, including other Asian fonts. If you see a bunch of question marks, symbols or squares, then you do not have Asian language enabled. Consult your operating system help guide for more instructions or check out Using Japanese language on your computer | More details in Wikipedia | Multilingual support.

This wiki often links directly to Nico Nico Douga. This is because the wikia prefers to link directly to the original source rather then a youtube reprint, so the Producers can get proper credit and support. Unless you have a Nico Nico Douga account, you may not be able to view all of the videos the wikia links to.

See Vocaloid Wiki image guidelines before uploading images, as many images that are of no use to the wiki will be deleted. Exceptions can be made but largely we encourage the use of an actual image host for personal images rather than wiki servers. These rules apply to videos as well.


Current Wikia happenings

  • Administrators - an election for the next admins will be held
  • Fanloid Wiki; all fanloid information except a few is now found on the Fanloid wikia. We encourage all readers to visit there rather then here for fanmade Vocaloids. The only fanloid that remain now are the "adoptive" ones like Naru and Haku.
  • "Usage for music" has been replaced with "VoicebankLibraries". This is a fairer system to each Vocaloid. Things better explained by other related pages will be handling some of the details such as inofmration about Phonetics and the Vocaloid software.
  • Images not in usage will be deleted on 18 Jan 2012. Editors are asked to use the images they want before then on wikia pages. In the meantime we remind all editors we are not a image hosting service, please use a links to image hosts rather then uploading the images here.
  • "Reception" is slowly being replaced with "popularity". The reason being is "reception" was always a difficult subject to handle because the scope of the details and opinions that needed to be absorbed were often vast and hard to control, with many opinions being left unsourced
  • There has been a recent spout of guesses made to Oliver's page in regard to his accent, however, unless you can source the exact accent directly from PowerFX or VocaTone all guesses are considered speculation. Also, one of the difficulties facing pinpointing his accent is that despite popular belief a single "British accent" does not exist; for more reading please see here.
  • Bunai82 has repaired the forums, so everything is back up and running. '

Translating

  • Japanese => English Translators Wanted!
    There are plenty of volunteers out there already translating and subbing Vocaloid videos. However, what is needed is willing able translators to translate articles written entirely in Japanese text like this. If you are interested in helping out just sign up to places like Vocaloid Otaku forums and when someone posts something offer to translate. While the fans appreciate more subbers out there translating songs, few are taking time out to simply translate articles, yet these articles are the things that provide vital information to the Vocaloid fandom about the vocaloids!
