no joke, before this preview, I wasn't really hyped about SAROS. but lord. They're tone is so satisfying, and one of the best vocal synths I've ever heard. Eclipsed Sounds, you've produced nothing but impressive voicebanks. I'm so excited what other future projects you'll hold.
Boy did my opinion of this vocicebank turn around real quick. Between this demo showcasing the versatility of the vocal modes, and the keep your eyes on me song proving me wrong in my old opinion that saros would not work for more electronic heavy genres, I have completely switched over to being very excited and convinced that I have to have them.
We plan to once SAROS is released! ASTERIAN has a video similar to this available on our Twitter page, which you can find in his information article: www.eclipsedsounds.com/post/asterian-for-synthesizer-v-studio-demos-range-vocal-information While SOLARIA doesn't have an exact parallel, her info article also includes brief descriptions of each vocal mode!
I've been using the Synthesizer V Pro and love the Solaria vocal. I'm using the voices to finally produce my gospel original songs. I await a heavy toned gospel voice to fill out my roster of voices, until then I'm loosing sleep learning the software. Great job and you have my support and a new subscriber.
Sounds like a keeper…definately going to get Saros on Nov 24! Also, its interesting that the pronounciation changes a bit depending on the mode selected. Falsetto is also super useful!
I do not know Elizabeth Zharoff well enough to know if she can do both, but it would be interesting if we had someone who can sing opera, but also sing in the regular fashion, a bit like a Floor Jansen (Nightwish) that does both. After all, the more versatiliy the better. However, that may be more complicated to create or more complicated to find.
In the pro version of Synthesizer V Studio, users can use the note detune function to drag notes off of the default pitch. To do so, hold command (Mac) or control (Windows) and shift at the same time. Hover over a note and you should see the vertical arrows symbol and then you can drag the note vertically off of the default pitch. This is a pro-only feature! You can also reset this by selecting any set of notes, right clicking and selecting "Reset Detuned Notes".
The vibrato style is actually based on the singer's own voice! While it may not work for every style, we thought it best to showcase the base state of the voice without any edits for this demo. If it doesn't work for your piece, removing the generated vibrato in Synthesizer V Studio is as simple as selecting all notes and dragging a slider down to 0!
@@eclipsedsounds : My original comment may have come off as rude-sounding, apologies. I can hear that it's trying to emulate someone's vibrato style, but it just doesn't sound realistic.
@@jbi It didn't seem rude at all, we absolutely welcome all feedback and critique of our vocals! Realism can generally be enhanced with user-based edits, or even mixing-phase adjustments such as EQ changes, but we will keep a close eye on ways we can improve the quality of realism when it comes specifically to vibrato for SAROS in the future.
@@eclipsedsounds Thank you for taking my criticism with an open mind. I love all of you guys' work and I am looking forward to this release as well. I will attempt to explain in more detail what I originally meant: #1: Listen to "johnny be guUuUud" at 02:12, It's almost at inhuman speed (you'd have to shake your head up and down to recreate it), it also comes off as synthetic mostly due to the speed and lack of vocal detail in the vibrato. #2: Listen to "johnny be guUuUud" at 03:07, here the second upwards vibrato-part is the one that sounds off, I believe it sounds synthetic due to the start of the vibrato hitting A then way too quickly the vibrato goes up to B before balancing out on A#, all done in a quick succession in a unique vibrato style. The vibrato style sounds like it's done through head movement and not through the vocal chords, mostly due to the speed and feel. Even if this is not my preference in vibrato style, I still think it's OK. #3: Most obvious example of it sounding synthetic is at 03:18 (...hoOoOow). It sounds like how strings sound when you mod-wheel them up and down. There's zero detail in the voice during this vibrato, imagine a guitar portamento where the finger slides up to a new pitch VS doing it digitally on a mod-wheel. In short: It's lacking detail that a voice gives off when producing vibrato, thus creating a "flanger" type of effect. This voice is so close to being perfect, I just really wish this vibrato would get improved / fixed beforehand.
