Or is that only for those who purchase directly from Dreamtonics? I don't know. At least it doesn't install it automatically. But looks like you get Eleanor Forte Lite. Edit: Ok, you can download Mai from Dreamtonics for free. Thanks for bringing it up. 18 minutes ago, Bad Penguin said: Is it possible to store the Voicebanks on an external (ssd) drive, or does it all go to c : \ When you install a voicebank it lets you choose the location of the database, so that's a yes I guess.

Just noticed this on the DLsite product page for Kevin: Quote Serial Number (Product ID) After completing your purchase, you will be issued the following numbers on the download page: ・Serial Number 1: Activation Code ・Serial Number 2: Support ID） ・Serial Number 3: CharaMin Studio License Key） Serial Number 1 is the code needed to use Synthesizer V AI Kevin. After installing and launching the program, you will be prompted to enter this code before use. Serial Number 2 is the code needed to receive product support from AH-Software. Serial Number 3 is the license key needed to activate the 90-day trial version of CharaMin Studio. Upon launching CharaMin Studio, you'll be prompted to enter this number along with your registered CharaMin Studio acocunt information. *In order to create an account, please make sure you have a valid email address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, I found that the location of Voicebanks is not that big of an issue as they aren't sample libraries per se so are quite small. For example, my Kevin VB folder is only 63 Mb and Solaria is the same. So I just let VS install them to the default location --> \Documents\Dreamtonics\Synthesizer V Studio\databases P.S. I'm pleased that some of you got that Japanese site to work ok. Sounds like you got a bargain. Edited December 4, 2022 by ZincT 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 I am enjoying Asterian, he sounds great! Here's a little test I made.. https://soundclick.com/r/s8nawr Anyone still deciding don't forget the intro offer ends on the 9th December. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Lawler Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Ohhh you are evil @ZincT! I easily wrote him off based on the early demos, but you and the folks on VI are trying to drag me back with these recent posts. I thought sure you were going to bring him in on the second verse of "Fat Bottom Girls". That would be killer ? Have you found it easy (or have you tried) to reduce his vibrato? The default is a bit much for the way I would want to use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default is a bit much for the way I would want to use him. Lol, now there's an idea Brian ? To be honest, it was the first thing I tried with Asterian and I just used instant mode. I didn't change anything, but it is easy to do that. I will have a go at reducing the vibrato and update the post tomorrow. I have also tried him in place of Kevin, who I was trying out on the Disturbed version of Sound of Silence. It was a bit low for Kevin (so noisy) but Asterian sounds great. The different vocal modes are really good at altering his voice, based on the quick play I had. Edited December 8, 2022 by ZincT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Lawler Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks for the info. I need to catch up with the Synth V tools. I had a vibrato script (user contributed that I found somewhere) but it was crashing at run time so I deleted it. I've not even looked at the 1.8 update yet, other than getting it installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of scripts I noticed this readme that came with Asterian... Quote Due to complications in our production schedule, ASTERIAN’s additional bonus files will be somewhat delayed and will be distributed within the month. The original bonus files (scripts and dictionaries) from SOLARIA are also included with ASTERIAN's download, but will be receiving updates with additional fixes & functionality as they function with some inconsistent crashing errors in Synthesizer V Studio 1.7.0 and above. Please consider subscribing to our newsletter to receive an email when these files as well as ASTERIAN's new bonus files are added to your download. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their tax calculation seems a bit iffy for most people. They added just over 20% VAT for me, so more or less correct for the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Penguin Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Yeah, no tax for me at DLsite/Eclipsed . . . but the "random" tax at Dreamtonics is (one reason) why I am avoiding them and hoping someone else will sell the license keys for Wiena 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 @Brian Lawler Here's the version with less vibrato although I might have gone a bit too far! https://soundclick.com/r/s8nbhp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Lawler Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Thanks @ZincT I also notice that vibrato was toned down on the VI posted song "Timber". Looks like the clock is ticking for me to "save" $10 ? Edited December 8, 2022 by Brian Lawler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 @Brian Lawler that Timber is very well done and hardly any vibrato on Asterian; but those spoken parts - wow! Here's my take on a classic with Kevin and Solaria. Turns out the backing track is made from the original recording, where Tom Scholz and co presumably didn't use a metronome or click track. The tempo varies from 115 to 120 bpm according to Melodyne making it a nightmare to try and get Kevin and Solaria to follow! I had to export the voice parts in standalone SV, import them into Cakewalk, and then cut and move the vocals to match the timing of the track. It's not perfect but I'm getting there. I'm only using the backing track as I couldn't find a really good MIDI version. https://soundclick.com/r/s8nbip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZincT Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Coming soon new voicebank Synthesizer V AI Ninezero, based on the vocals of singer-songwriter, "Ninezero." Best suited for hard rock and metal. Sounds like a must buy to me! Check out the latest demo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavv Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I have just purchased the Sythneziser V pro. Can anyone tell me how to configure cakewalk ( VST manager perhaps) so that I can use Synth V as a plug in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Synth V is a vst plugin, it will have a .dll that Cakewalk will read and be able to use. Not sure what you mean by "configure". [edit] I looked at the Synth V web page and see that a vst comes with the Pro version. Are you not able to see it in Cakewalk in your list of plugins?

Been a while since I installed it, but I think you need to find the .vst file in the SythesizerV folder and drag it into your system VST folder manually. So far I find myself preferring to use the standalone mode anyway, but VST does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
