Vocaloid

If you have a sequencing/audio application that is capable of using VST instruments, and you installed the VOCALOID VSTi plug-in during installation, you can conveniently use VOCALOID as a VST instrument.

The basic procedure for using VOCALOID as a VST instrument is as follows:

First, we recommend you to apply VOCALOID updater v1.1.

1. Save your VOCALOID sequence as a MIDI file (select "midi" file type in the VOCALOID Save dialog window).

2. Import the VOCALOID MIDI file into your VSTi-compatible sequencer.

A Note About VOCALOID MIDI Files:

Midi files created by VOCALOID use special commands and do not include standard note-on/off events. VOCALOID MIDI files can therefore only be used to control VOCALOID.

Also note that the control data for VOCALOID is being sent early to allow for processing and early vocal sounds, so there will appear to be a delay between the MIDI events in the MIDI track and the sounds produced. This is normal.

3. Select the VOCALOID VST instrument from the appropriate menu or window in your VSTi-compatible application (refer to your application's owner's manual for further information if necessary).

4. Make sure the output of the MIDI track is assigned to the VOCALOID VST instrument.

VOCALOID should now function as a VST- instrument that can be combined with other sequenced and/or audio tracks for further production.

The parameters available in the VOCALOID VST instrument are exactly the same as those available in the singer window, but unlike the same parameters in the VOCALOID Editor the VST instrument parameters can be adjusted in real time.
