Vocaloid3 Hatsune Miku V3

Just to be clear, this is the actual Japanese release. The printed manuals, startup sheet, licensing card are all printed in Japanese. There is a disk for PC and another for Mac for the Vocaloid software and a third disk containing Piapro's Studio One. During the installation there will be a prompt asking you to choose between Japanese and English for the setup (it asks you in Japanese btw, and your choice will be in Kanji characters.) You will need to know what "English" looks like in kanji (英語）. Once that is done, the whole setup will be in English and the software will default to all English menus and such. My limited Japanese ability got me through this ok, your results may vary.Only the Japanese voice banks are included. Miku's voice in sweat, dark, soft, solid, and original.If you are looking for the English voicebank and you are a native English speaker, then you shouldn't get this version of the software. Type in a Internet search for "mikuenglish" and you will see Piapro's site for the English version with the English voicebanks. The North American distributor is Big Fish Audio and available as a direct download or disks. Also, it's quite a bit cheaper from them.As for the software's usability. It is very simple to get started and enter lines of songs lyrics and have Miku singing to you for the first time. However, there are many subtleties in the way you adjust her pitch, tone, breath, etc....to make her sound natural. I think that's the hard part. This part is not explained very much in the included pdf user manual.Yes, there is an English user manual as a pdf file. However, the manual lacks depth. There is very little help in showing how the various adjustments to Miku's singing work. The manual is sort of written like, "there's the brake on the left and the gas pedal next to it." No discussion on how how they work.One other thing I'm confused about it this "tiny editor" thing.The full Vocaloid3 Editor has a full array of editing and other features. Apparently, after my installation, all I have to work with is this thing they call the Vocaloid3 tiny editor. The editing features are limited. This tiny editor is not going to get you production capabilities. I think this bundle assumes that you already have the full editor. For playing around, it works fine.I'm sorry that I can't get into more of how the actual software works since I'm am an absolute bare bones beginner. I don't have aspirations of being a music producer. I only bought this on a whim, and so far I'm having fun having Miku sing various songs from AKB48.*edit*There is another Hatsune Miku V3 sold here on Amazon that includes the Japanese and English voicebanks. The box image will have a black triangle in the top corner that states that the English VB is included. That would be the one to get if you want both the Japanese and English. If you only want the English, then go to Big Fish and order the English version and save yourself $100. Big Fish also sell the complete bundle with Japanese and English, but you have to order by phone to get the price.Thumbs up if this was helpful.Onegai shimasu!

I DID write a detailed review before but it got lost somehow. I will just say, in short, that the product is great and as described. It is the Japanese version with all the materials in Japanese, and does not include the Hatsune Miku English.

The best Vocaloid singer in the world . A well made product by a great company that has brought creative people together worldwide through their innovative software.

My daughters love this, they play it Day and night

This doesn't install on El-Capitan. That is you can run all the installation packages (there is one for each product that you have to dig through the directories to find), and they all appears to install (the installation program appears and ends with "success", but the only files that are transferred are the license manager app files. Waste of money.

Vocaloidを初めて買った。Gumiと迷ったがこの声だな、やっぱり。GarageBandのpluginで使っている。バックコーラスで使うと至上の声が聞けます。それにしても人間のように喋らせるのがこんなに難しいとは。

Logic Proで使用しています。最初は難しいのかなと思っていたのですが、一度慣れてしまえば面白いように使えますね。自分は男なので、女性ボーカルにあった曲が出来た時はお世話になってます。（笑）

ミクがイチバン！

DTMを初めて半年ぐらいですが使いやすいですベタ打ちでもしっかり歌ってくれると聞いたのでミクにしましたが特に不満はなく満足してますDARKをメインに曲を作ってますが落ち着いていてある程度どんな曲も歌えると思いますのでおすすめですピアプロスタジオはMIDIを読み込むとテンポが変わってしまうので読み込んだ後DAWの方とテンポ連携外してください

何も考えず、とりあえず打ち込んだだけでも、まぁまぁ普通に聞ける仕上がりになりました。手軽に音を入れられるのでなかなか楽しいです
