Developed by Yamaha in 2003, VOCALOID singing voice synthesis technology and software creates vocals for songs using lyrics and a melody (musical notation) as input. Released in 2015, “Mobile VOCALOID Editor” is an app for iPhone/iPad that allows users to create songs by simply tapping notes and lyrics on the screen, and has been widely used by many users for its intuitive workflow and wide range of available voicebanks.

With the introduction of the subscription model, the app now features the VOCALOID:AI synthesis engine, the same engine used in the PC/Mac versions of VOCALOID6 which uses artificial intelligence to synthesize more natural, richly expressive singing voices. The new voicebank “asa,” which features a delicate and translucent singing voice, is included as a standard feature, and in addition to the existing voicebanks of characters such as Hatsune Miku, IA, and v flower, the voicebank options have been expanded to include VOCALOID:AI compatible voicebanks such as AI Megpoid and Otomachi Una.

To encourage users to start creating VOCALOID songs more freely and easily with “Mobile VOCALOID Editor,” we have prepared short phrases, such as those that can be freely used for arrangement songs, on the official website.
