english voicebanks in synthV utilize the arpabet pronunciation guide so i've even just pulled up its wikipedia page so i have a quick reference for alternate vowels as needed! it might even be helpful to register homonyms into a custom dictionary so that instead of editing "l ih v" every time, you could set it to "live(2)" or even "live*" and it would play the phonemes you set when you need it

Thanks so much for this video. I have been using ”AHND”for the word “AND” and I’ve been pulling out my hair trying to get “DOOR” to sound right. You have helped me cut down my input time tremendously. Thanks

8:22 - The waveforms are different because of HDVM, a function that tries to replicate the inconsistencies in human voice. The AI retakes function works on the same principle.

I just purchased this and you have helped me more than the manual ever could. I thought the dictionary was for checking words and could not figure it out. You showed me exactly how to do that.

Also, I knew about stretching syllables over notes, but just typing the whole line on the first note and then stretching it with the special commands? Genius.

Thanks, I didn't know about the dictionary tip. That's a game changer.

This is great stuff. Thank you! The tutorials from Dreamtonics on phonemes seem to be out of date, and you actually explain what works in the current version 1.8.0. I subscribed and will be looking at all your Synthesizer V videos. If you haven't already done something on vibrato, please do. The singer "Natalie" has constant excessive vibrato I would like to remove. I've tried everything. The only success was to use the minus sign to extend syllables. But that seems to be hit-or-miss.

Hey how do you get the consonants to display in the wave form? I must have gone over every setting and window trying to find it, also thanks for making these videos just bought the full version recently and been doing a deep dive on tour videos this afternoon

Excellent tips! I've only been using this software for a short while, and I've been looking at phonemes reference webpages to figure out better pronunciations. Using the dictionary panel is far easier. Thanks!

[ThomsenTower]

Thanks for this. FWIW, I’m interested in what you can teach about Synth V. Cheers!

If I write the phrase in the first note and then use the + shortcut on the remaining notes, what is the best way to stop the program deciding certain words (i.e. 'our') should span two notes and get it on one. I'm guessing adding a dictionary reference would be the way to go.

Hey thanks for the . tip....for some reason, Solaria can't pronounce cocktail no matter how I try to change the phonemes. I'll try the . with my fingers double crosse! Thanks for all your tutorials. They are great.

What is the phenome for the vowel ‘o’ as in ‘stop’. For an English accent that is. I’m aware that for American accent it would be ‘aa’. I can’t see such an option in the list.

Thanks very much for these tutorials, great information which helped change some phonemes that were out of wack in the file I was working on. Just out of curiosity, is there a way to add legato between syllables in a multi syllable word?

[BiDrd]

Do you know where I can find free English male singers?

[RiffMusic]

Good video but you need to zoom in. Cant see anything when it’s zoomed out.

[lenimbery]

Are the vocals all in 44.1 KHz format?....Mono I suppose too?

[guitarjam]

Vocaloid is easier to use, than this program
Such a pain in the neck
