Compatible with Vocaloid 5 Editor
DEX and DAINA are Zero-G's newest Vocaloid voice banks and are our most emotive and expressive virtual vocalists to date. Much care has been taken with their development to create realistic and unique sounding voicebanks. They are set apart from previous releases due to both their American accents and their diverse vocal characteristics.
DEX is a powerful male singer who will shine in multiple types of music, with emphasis on Rock, Pop and EDM styles.
The ultimate duo…
These exciting new singers are the ultimate duo and counterbalance each other’s strengths and weaknesses, making duets between them an absolute delight!
DEX and DAINA's release also marks Zero-G's foray into new styles of English Vocaloid editing, with the inclusion of specialized phonemes designed to emphasize Dex and Daina's American accents. These new phonemes also improve the overall pronunciation of the words and lyrics that producers will implement into their own creations.
DEX and DAINA also take advantage of the new developments in Vocaloid 4 with improved dynamic capabilities and a new “growl” function that enables more character and impact from the vocal.
These two new Vocaloid4 voice libraries are shining examples of how English Vocaloid technology is growing and expanding, reaching new levels of understandability and realism. They are excellent voice banks for beginners in Vocaloid production, as well as for professional musicians and composers.
DEX and DAINA not only provide features which can be used to create temporary demo tracks before choosing a human singer, but also allow completely new and unique musical vocal expression and effects which humans simply cannot sing.
They have flexible voices with clear speech, powerful sustained tones, and smooth vocalization that enables you to use them for any song and any genre of music.

What is Vocaloid software?
VOCALOID is a singing voice synthesis technology developed by Yamaha Corporation. VOCALOID software allows users to input melody and lyrics in order to synthesize a singing voice. In other words, a singing voice can be produced without a human singer by using this technology. Synthesized singing from this tool is produced from Voice/Singer Libraries, which are databases of fragments of voices and phonemes recorded from actual singers. Various voices can be used by changing the Voice/Singer Library. There are lots of musical pieces and works created by users using products with VOCALOID technology, on Youtube and many other types of media. There are more details and information on Vocaloid technology and Yamaha's VOCALOID5 EDITOR here.
*You will need the VOCALOID5 Editor from YAMAHA to use DEX or DAINA.
