Hatsune Miku (called Hatsune Miku by some people in the Chinese community) is a virtual female singer software developed and sold by CRYPTON FUTURE MEDIA based on Yamaha's VOCALOID 2 speech synthesis engine. It was released on August 31, 2007. It was originally only available for Microsoft Windows. It was released on March 19, 2008 and became available for Mac OS X with the release of CrossOver Mac 6.1.

Software operation interface

The software uses Yamaha's VOCALOID 2 speech synthesis engine to record and synthesize human voices into sounds that resemble real singing voices. It is the highest level of 3D and intelligence in Japan. You only need to enter the pitch and lyrics to make a sound, and you can also adjust the "emotional parameters" such as tremolo and sonic speed. Up to 16 people can sing in chorus. It 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. Lyrics input can recognize hiragana, katakana and romaji, but it 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 accent sounds and kanji. Need to modify it yourself. The software is not designed for beginners. Users who are new to electronic music production will need some time to adapt. Therefore, there are many teaching discussions targeting such users in places such as 2ch. Osaka University of Electro-Communications even held lectures for beginners on October 19 and October 25, 2007.

Edit the production process and naming of this paragraph

There are three or four people in CRYPTON who are responsible for the planning of Hatsune Miku, and the actual developers are Sasaki Wataru and another part-time employee. The characters and paintings were designed by illustrator KEI in an anime style. KEI was chosen because Wataru Sasaki, a CRYPTON employee, liked his "very transparent style". He started designing in March or April 2007 and finally published it** *Three illustrations. It was originally planned to publish new illustrations every month, but the unexpected creative boom stopped it. The original voice is provided by voice actor Fujita Saki. The reason for the choice is that CRYPTON believes that Fujita Saki's voice is very suitable for "future idols". In the early days of the project, CRYPTON wanted to have full-time singers provide voices. However, most of the singers who contacted Hatsune Miku

rejected due to concerns about the use of their voices after they were copied and future copyright-related issues. I turned to contacting voice actors, but the initial progress was not smooth. Most voice acting agencies did not understand the purpose of the software. Later, ARTSVISION agreed to cooperate. After considering the voice samples of nearly 500 voice actors (including animation dubbing and narration), we decided to use Fujita Saki. Fujita Saki recorded with a "clear and cute" impression. During the recording, she sang some katakana with no special meaning in conjunction with the music played at the time. The process was carried out over two days and lasted six hours. On April 27, 2007 Complete the recording before. The appearance of Hatsune Miku was officially announced on June 25. At that time, she only had the first name "Miku". On July 12 of the same year, her surname "Hatsune" (pseudonym: はつね) was announced. "Hatsune" refers to "the first sound", "starting point", and "the first VOCALOID 2"; "Miku" in Chinese characters means "future", which refers to "the possibility of future music symbolized by VOCALOID".

Edit the settings of this paragraph

Name: Hatsune Miku (Hatsune Miku) Age: 16 years old Height: 158cm Weight: 42kg Mimicry: Onion Type of music she is good at: Popular songs are good at tempo: 70~150BPM (original setting is 80~150.) Good sound range: A3~E5 (original setting is C3~E4. The highest and lowest limits of the actual software are G8 and C-2 respectively. , the output effect will begin to become unsatisfactory when it is higher or lower than a certain pitch, and the sound will even become smaller.) 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 MEIKO in 2004. With only basic settings and "incomplete" character designs, it does not make sense for the creator to insist on "original settings", and the original voices of Hatsune Miku and Fujita Saki are The connection impression is not big, and there is no big restriction on creation. Therefore, users can easily develop feelings for "the Hatsune Miku they created" and produce a large number of works.

Overview

Hatsune Miku is the first virtual idol in the world to use holographic projection technology to hold a concert. 1. Hatsune Miku Fes'09 (Summer) The speech synthesis system VOCALOID 2, which rose like a comet on August 31, 2007, will celebrate its second anniversary a month later. The popular Hatsune Miku will be the heroine of this party.

Instructions on 3D holographic projection technology

3D holographic transparent screen is a transparent projection screen that uses holographic technology. This projection screen has the characteristics of holographic images and only displays images from a certain An image from a specific angle, while ignoring light from other angles. Even in places with bright ambient light, it can display very bright and clear images. The thank-you ceremony was realized using the "3D holographic transparent screen of the German Sax 3D company" to play 3D images. To be precise, this concert is 2.5D. A simple explanation is that 3D images are played on the screen, just like watching a movie. , but the transparency of this screen can be adjusted. If it is adjusted to fully transparent, only MIKU imaging will be left on the stage. It turns out that the local particle concentration in the screen is adjusted to display an opaque effect and image.
