If you want to get started with Vocaloid and don’t want to spend a lot of Yen (or dollars), check out the Gakken NSX-39 Pocket Miku. Yamaha will release more information on the Vocaloid keyboard site. The current lyrics are shown in a display just to the left of the keyboard where the musician can see them. The left hand also navigates through the lyrics as the musician “sings” via the instrument.

The left hand controls on the neck add expression using pitch and mod wheels.
This proved to be too awkward and Yamaha moved to preloaded lyrics. Instead, the musician entered katakana with the left hand while playing the melody with the right hand. The first three models did not use preloaded lyrics. The Vocaloid keyboard has had a long evolution, going through five iterations. This makes sense for Yamaha as they can freely incorporate VY1 in products without playing royalties or other intellectual property (IP) concerns. VY1 does not have an avatar or character like other Vocaloid singers. VY1 is a female Japanese voice developed by Yamaha for its own products. The VKB-100 was demonstrated at the Yamaha exhibition booth at the “Magical Mirai” conference held at the Makuhari Messe, September 1-3, 2017. A speaker is built-in making the VKB-100 a self-contained instrument.Melody is played by the right hand while the left hand adds expression and navigates through the lyrics.Four Vocaloid voices will be available: Hatsune Miku, Megpoid (GUMI), Aria on the Planets (IA), and Yuzuki Yukari.Up to 4 Vocaloid singers can be added using the application.VY1 is the built-in default singing voice.Lyrics are entered using a dedicated application for smart phones and tablets via Bluetooth.More details will be released in December 2017. The VKB-100 is a keytar design similar to the prototype shown at the “Two Yamahas, One Passion” exhibition at Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, July 3-5, 2015. Posted in Music, Music technology | Tagged eVocaloid, NSX-1, NSX-39, Pocket Miku, Vocaloid Vocaloid keyboard announcedĪt long last, Yamaha have announced their Vocaloid™ keyboard, the VKB-100. Heck, there are even notes about data structures, computer architecture and VLSI design from back in the day.īook-wise, I’m currently reading David Weigel’s “The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock.” Fun stuff.
There are several Arduino-based projects to browse (with downloadable code). Maybe you need some content like scat vocal samples, converted DJXII patterns, or Motif performances converted to PSR/Tyros styles? Maybe you’re interested in taking a tour inside Montage, PSR/Tyros, or Kronos? Use soft synths on Linux and use Raspberry Pi to bridge 5-pin MIDI and USB.Īnd then there are reviews of products that I’ve tried or eventually purchased: Yamaha Montage, Genos, Reface CP, Reface YC, Korg Triton Taktile, Roland GO:KEYS, Nord Stage 2ex, etc. Lately, I’ve been diving into the new Yamaha Genos™. This site is my mental storage unit and you’ll never know what you might find. So, if you came looking for Gakken Pocket Miku, NSX-39 or Yamaha’s NSX-1 integrated circuit, here’s a quick list of pages related to those topics: (There’s still a few treasured issues of Polyphony in our basement.) Plus, anyone who likes Japanese monsters and toys would fit right into our family.ĭavid continues a long tradition of DIY writing that goes back to Polyphony Magazine, where I really got the bug to create. David has a playfulness in his projects and approach that I really like. Thank you, David! “Adventures in DIY” is one of the main reasons that I keep subscribing to Keyboard Magazine. And further, David gives a shout out to your’s truly and this blog (). Imagine my surprise when I read David Battino’s “Adventures in DIY” and it’s about Gakken’s Procket Miku. Some of you know Keyboard Magazine as Electronic Musician. I usually unwind with a book or Keyboard Magazine before turning out the light for a good night’s rest.
