Vocaloid2 Tonio

TONIO is modelled on the actual voice of a professional male classical singer.

Once TONIO is installed into your PC he will allow you to create synthesized singing of unprecedented quality and remarkable realism.

MIKE OLDFIELD is just one high profile artist who has used Vocaloid to add a new dimension to his music (for example the Vocaloid sound is a key element in his album "Light & Shade" - check out the hauntingly hypnotic single he released from it, "Surfing").

With a vocal register that covers both baritone and tenor TONIO has a voice that will satisy the most demanding of compositions. .

Tonio has a voice that is full of unmistakable character, colour and charm. He will hit those high notes every time with perfect accuracy..

Whether it´s soaring leads, harmonies or backing vocals, Tonio can sing any word from the English language (and other languages too with a little work).

Tonio is also very well suited if you want to be adventurous and experimental, since his voice can be easily modified and shaped in many ways.

In addition to singing any words or combination of syllables or phonemes you can imagine, TONIO will spread any sustained vowel (or voiced consonant) across as many notes as you like, with perfect legato. You can select from several different natural vibrato types and drag and drop your chosen type to any note or notes, and control the time-position and amount of the vibrato.

And that´s just the beginning - you have control over all of the following parameters, which you can bring to bear on any part of your creation:

* Changing syllables/phonemes
* Timing of each note (precise position/length).
* Vibrato (you can change its type/position/amount/frequency).
* Volume
* Attack.
* Crescendo or diminuendo
* Pitch bend (amount, and positionable in time).
* Glide (portamento).
* Resonance (Frequency/bandwidth/amplitude)
* Harmonics.
* Noise.
* Brightness
* Clearness.
* Gender factor.
