Vocaloid 6 is a singing voice synthesizer application and marks the introduction of Vocaloid:AI technology. It is the successor to Vocaloid 5.

History[edit]

After maintenance of the the official Vocaloid website on October 13, 2022, Yamaha released Vocaloid 6 without prior announcement.[1][2] It introduces the Vocaloid:AI engine, which had been in development since Vocaloid 3. Voices developed for it offer improved synthesis quality, multilingual singing and drastically smaller file sizes. Support for older voicebanks from Vocaloid 3 and up remains. It also features support for ARA 2 and an updated UI.

Products[edit]
