Emvoice releases Jay – the first male voice for Emvoice One (VST/AU/AAX)

[Larry Shelby]

Emvoice has announced that their first male voice, Jay, is now available for the Emvoice One vocal synthesizer plugin.

Jay is available now for $139, rising to $199 after an introductory sale period. Emvoice's other voice, Lucy, is also currently on sale for $139.

Both voices run in the Emvoice One plugin (VST/AU/AAX), and require an internet connection for use. The plugin is free to download, and gives access to demo versions of both voices, each limited to a seven-note range.

 

Jay features:

Runs in the Emvoice One plugin along with our first voice, Lucy.

Natural range: E1 to C4.

Extended range: C1 to C5.

Record MIDI data from your DAW or controller.

Program realistic glissando and vibrato patterns.

Choose from pronunciation options or create your own words from phonemes.

Export/Import entire project files of lyrics and notes.

The technology behind Jay

Jay uses the same vocal synthesis technique as Emvoice's other voice, Lucy. Working with a real singer, Emvoice have recorded individual phonemes at multiple pitches. When a user programs notes and types lyrics, the cloud-based engine then recombines the right samples from thousands – including realistic breath sounds – to create a seamless vocal performance.

Recent Emvoice One updates

Since the launch of Lucy last year, Emvoice One has been updated to include MIDI listen mode, AAX support, an extended range for voices from C1 to C5, and a redesigned user interface with a choice of light and dark modes.

I tried the demo of "Lucy" before although the demo was a bit a limited in range these sound really good.

I thought $200 for one voice seemed a bit steep though, and on sale at $139 per voice is getting closer but I would probably bite at $99.

I had a listen to the demos and they do sound really impressive. However, I can't help but think that Lucy reminds me of GLaDOS from Portal

I'm impressed by how good this is (compared to everything else out there)!

Although it's not something I'd use for lead vocals, it could be used for mockups to get an idea of how different vocal lines will sound in a track.  I might even try using it to generate BGVs.
