Introduction to Kagamine Rin·レン
Kana かがみねリン·レンcrypton vocaloid Kagamine LOGO
Roman audio Kagamine Rin / Ren
(Note: The Roman pronunciation is only "RE" without "LE", "LEN" is the name of Kagamine Ren in the official design, not the Roman pronunciation) Kagamine Rin & Kagamine Ren (Kagamine Rinnon) was released on November 1, 2007 It will be released on the 11th, completed on December 11th, and will be released on December 27th.
It is suitable for singing rock, electro-acoustic music, dance, ballads, and enka-based pop songs. The adjustment performance of gender parameters (GEN, GenderFactor) is higher than Hatsune Miku; the components of overtones are also more complex. But the bass sometimes has the side effect of turning into a trance sound.
The original voice is provided by Asami Shimoda, a new voice actor who is also popular in NICONICO animation. Like Hatsune Miku, the characters and paintings are designed by KEI. On November 1, 2007, the names "リン" and "レン" were revealed. The name is transliterated into the Chinese characters "bell" and "连", which means attracting others' attention. The surname "Kagamine" means "the sound reflected from the mirror." and "your reflection in the mirror of the opposite sex." The theme is "the world in the mirror" and "the intersection of the worlds where illusion and reality intersect." On November 7, due to the early release of the December 2007 issue of "DTMMAGAZINE" containing the introduction of CV02, the last name and voice actor were announced earlier than the official one. The setting has no blood relationship with Hatsune Miku.
On December 3 of the same year, the male voice "Kagamine Ren (Kagamine Rian, Kagamine Rei)" was released, using a male voice and a female voice, and also provided the original voice for Asami Shimoda. This is because CRYPTON wants users to have greater creative space. However, many people still call Suzu and Ren "Twins" and "Sister and Brother". The officially recognized manga "Manufacturer's Unofficial Hatsune Mix" (in fact, CRYPTON stated that "this will not be an official official work", but the copyright Lian who belongs to CRYPTON. ) also calls Suzu "sister".
The singing database of Suzu and Ren are separate, and the production cost is higher than that of Hatsune Miku. However, Suzu and Ren are sold as a set of software, and the price is about the same as Hatsune Miku; this is because the craze of Hatsune Miku has led to the production of electronic music. There are a sudden increase in the number of beginners, and the price of 15,750 yen is difficult for ordinary people to buy (but this price is relatively low among similar software), so CRYPTON decided to add more content to the software at the same price as Hatsune Miku. The software was finally completed on December 11th and released on December 27th.
It is suitable for singing rock, electro-acoustic music, dance, ballads, and enka-type pop songs. The adjustment performance of gender parameters (GEN, Gender Factor) is higher than Hatsune Miku; the components of the overtone are also more complex, but the bass sound changes from time to time. A side effect of the trance sound. In addition, Suzuwaren's software effects have been released elsewhere before the official preview song was released.

As for the character, the official (CRYPTON) has not given a clear entry, but there are many commercial or fan settings. For example, in SEGA's Hatsune Miku Diva project, Lian's eyes are sharper, which may make people think that Lian is more mature. In addition, in many fan works, the image of the Kagamine twins is usually that of a sinister twin. This is the fan setting. If the official character is set clearly, it will greatly reduce the degree of freedom for fan settings. For this reason, CRYPTON only provides very simple settings. In commercial works or fan works, in order to make the image of the singer fit their work, their character settings will be given. But the character does not necessarily stick to this, there is no limit.
Kagamine's representative object - the yellow steamroller
After the image of Kagamine Suzu was released, it became famous for "holding onions" in the adaptation of the previous work Hatsune Miku Ievan Polkka , and there was a discussion about "what items should be matched with the bell (company)". At first, many people advocated "yellow and orange fruits and vegetables" such as bananas, oranges, onions, etc., but at that time none of the items was decisively popular. (Later, both of them had their own symbols: Kagamine Rin (Rei) is an orange, and Kagamine Ren (Rei) is a banana) On December 1, 2007, NICONICO animation user loadorigin uploaded a video, the content roughly talks about bells It goes well with the yellow steamroller, and the onomatopoeia of the steamroller "WRYYYYYYYN!!!" (taken from the catchphrase of the character DIO (Dio Brando) in the comic "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" "URYYYYYYY!!!") and the name of the bell " RIN" is similar. Later, a large number of pictures with the theme of steamrollers appeared on PIAPRO, a website set up by CRYPTON for creators. Related videos began to appear in NICONICO animations and became popular, and finally became the representative items of Suzu (Helian) [34]. Later, in the third chapter of the recognized manga "Maker Unofficial Hatsune Mix", Kagamine Rin appears sitting on a steamroller.

Voice gender: Female ·Male
Engine used: VOCALOID2
Release date: December 27, 2010 (the same day as the original version of the software) Development company: Crypton Future Media
In early December, one of the sound development companies of VOCALOID - Crypton Future Media (also known as "C Company"), has developed the sound beautification software "Hatsune Append" this year. Compared with the original "Hatsune Miku", the sound The theme of the adjustment is "SWEET". This time "Kagamine Append" is also inspired by the last successful attempt. Before early December, it was decided to continue developing the sound-enhanced version of the original software "Kagamine Gemini" - "Kagamine Append"! The Gemini voice has become mature, 6 times the original adjustment! LEN's voice has become more present and steady! RIN's voice is more attractive!
The development time just started in October this year, and when it was completed, it was already close to the birth date of the original version of the software Kagamine Rinal. It can be said that this is a wonderful Christmas dedicated to Kagamine Rinal +Birthday gift! In line with the pace of time, Crypton Future Media has also decided to release the software Kagamine Rinren Append on December 27, 2010, the birth date of Kagamine Rinren.
"Kagamine Rinlen·Append" is to add voices to the facial expressions of the virtual Singer "Kagamine Rin" and "Kagamine Len" by updating 3 types of expressions, totaling 6 types of sounds in total. Program library.
The 6-part program library of the VOCALOID sound source is carefully and carefully databased for innovative recording in each artist's studio. [power] (rinRen), which is both hard and thick, has a sense of urgency and intense expression. The warm sound of [warm](rin), the cold sound of [cold](Len), and the soft sound of the atmosphere give it the element of warmth to gain individuality. [sweet] (rin) is a sound that appeals to the receptors that feel sweetness from the tone of voice based on the breath component. The opposite of extreme [serious] (Len), because of the illusory sound that makes it feel serious, it appeals to the listener's imagination.
Based on these, Singer's tonal variations increased, and the composer's impressions combined to express an increasing number of options. Please expand the possibilities of your compositions. It means that after the update of rin's voice, it has the nature of sweet and warm, and the sharpness of the voice is reduced to a weak level (reduces the childishness). In addition, some gasping elements are added to the voice, trying to Achieve realism (because the requirement of VOCALOID's sound production software is to be real and consistent with human voices); and after the Kagamine software is updated, len's voice will also be cold and serious. The nature of the character makes him the ideal character of the intelligent Shota, and his voice is more stable and full of presence than the original one (the lack of presence in the voice of the software boy is also one of the reasons why the original version of the software did not sell well enough. The official also hopes that the composers Don’t be too partial to girls’ voices and ignore the duality of the software);
More importantly, the pronunciator in the software Kagamine Append this time has also been expanded, which is X6 times that of the original version! ! ! Achieve the healing style of youth, passion, and fantasy in composing!
Edit this software introduction
The software uses Yamaha's VOCALOID 2 speech synthesis engine to record and synthesize human voices into sounds that resemble real singing. In addition to the most basic input pitch and lyrics, you can also adjust the tremolo, speed of sound (VEL, Velocity), intensity (DYN, Dynamics), breathing (BRE, Breathiness), brightness (BRI, Brightness), and transparency (CLE). , Clearness), mouth opening and closing (OPE, Opening), gender parameter (GEN, Gender Factor), portamento position (POR, Portamento Timing), pitch bend (PIT, Pitch Bend) and pitch bend sensitivity (PBS , Pitch Bend Sensitivity), etc., it can sing a chorus of up to 16 people, and also supports real-time performance and supports ReWire. After the production is completed, it will be output in WAV format, but the software itself can only produce the singing part, and the accompaniment sound needs to be synthesized using other music software. Compared with VOCALOID in 2003, various performances have been improved. However, the lyrics input cannot recognize は and へ as particles and う and い as long sounds, which will be converted into the pronunciations of わ, え, お, and え respectively, and it cannot correspond to the accent sounds, so it needs to be modified by yourself.
The software is not designed for beginners, but it does not limit beginners’ interest in it. Users who are new to electronic music production will need some time to adapt to the operation, so there are many such software in 2ch and other places. Using a teaching discussion series for users, Osaka University of Electric and Communications Technology even held lectures for beginners on October 19 and October 25, 2007.

Proficient vocal range: A3~E5 (original setting is 80~150BPM.) C3～E4. The highest and lowest limits of the actual software are G8 and C-2 respectively. When the pitch is higher or lower than a certain level, the output effect will begin to become unsatisfactory, and the sound will even become smaller.)
Representative: Onion
The clothing and mechanical parts are based on the DX series released by Yamaha in 1983. The initial setting of "01" on the left arm was a QR code, and the original design of the clothes was a sailor suit, but CRYPTON felt it was not good enough and switched to the current clothes design.
The character design is superior to that of MEIKO in 2004. With only basic settings and "incomplete" character designs, it makes no sense for the creator to insist on "original settings", and Hatsune Miku The connection with the original voice of Fujita Saki is not very impressive, and there is no great restriction on creation. Therefore, users can easily develop feelings for "the Hatsune Miku they created" and produce a large number of works.

About this game CV03 is the first attempt to install a database with both Japanese and English voices. The total capacity is close to 3GB, with a bilingual female singer. Therefore, it may be difficult to use existing sound sources. Needless to say, the fluency of pop music mixed with Japanese and English is very high. In order to cope with global music, its versatility must be very high. There is also a quiet sound quality that incorporates the "clearer, more feminine sound" in the concept, and a wide range of sounds starting from the mid range to the high range. It ranges from dance music commonly used by families to intense electronic music, as well as adult jazz/blues records. Megurine

Maybe he is a work-study student with an hourly salary of 700 yen. There are many clones (?) who fight against the anti-character "Fireproof LOID" of the VOCALOID series. He may be a tsundere character who wants to cheer for VOCALOID but cannot do so. Among the fans, he fell in love with Kagamine LEN at first sight.
In early November 2007, a large number of people wrote "I'm tired of it, go to sleep" on 2ch.
17 years old, height 150cm, weight 38kg, ponytail, the place where "01" was originally carved on Hatsune Miku's left arm became "DEN2" (to mock the Dentsu advertising company with the same pronunciation, because some netizens believe that Dentsu was involved in the TBS incident and The person behind the disappearance of the portrait is unlikely). The name Yabei Nuru has the same pronunciation as the Japanese word "I'm tired of it, go to bed (full and sleep)". In addition, as if he will hold an onion in the future, Nuru will hold a mobile phone. The reason is that the residents of 2ch will have IP sources for the washers in the future. During tracking, it was found that a certain proportion of the posters were Internet users using mobile phones. In addition, because they owned multiple mobile phones, it was easier to write a large number of posts at the same time or conduct self-directed and self-acted behaviors on the discussion board. The mobile phone model used is usually NTT docomo D905i, because this model of mobile phone has a yellow version, and WILLCOM's Advanced/W-ZERO3es based on the meta-designer's personal interests. It is worth noting that Yabei Enru cannot be regarded as a direct subspecies of Hatsune. Although it cannot be said that the character who was born in the turmoil has nothing to do with Miku, compared with the subtypes such as weak voice and murmur, it is not closely related to Miku. The only similarity is the appearance.
