Vocaloid 2 no es solo un software de síntesis de voz; es un fenómeno cultural que ha dejado una marca indeleble en el mundo de la música. Desde su lanzamiento en 2007, ha capturado la imaginación de millones al brindar la posibilidad de crear música con voces sintetizadas de manera realista. Este artículo explorará la evolución y el impacto de Vocaloid 2, sus personajes icónicos, el proceso de creación detrás de sus voces, y cómo ha influido en la cultura musical global.
Antes de adentrarnos en Vocaloid 2, es esencial entender el nacimiento del concepto Vocaloid. La tecnología Vocaloid fue desarrollada por Yamaha Corporation y el software original se lanzó en 2004. La idea principal consistía en crear un software que pudiera sintetizar voces humanas para cantar, proporcionando herramientas a músicos y compositores para ampliar sus capacidades creativas sin la necesidad de un cantante humano.
En 2007, Vocaloid 2 vino a revolucionar el campo de la síntesis vocal. Esta versión se presentó con mejoras significativas en la calidad de las voces y en la interfaz de usuario. De inmediato, captó la atención no solo de músicos profesionales, sino también de aficionados y entusiastas de la tecnología musical.
Una de las características más notorias de Vocaloid 2 fue la introducción de personajes virtuales, que añadieron un componente visual y emocional al software. Entre ellos, destacaron figuras que se convirtieron en auténticas estrellas digitales.
Fireworks
Among the wriggling waves of people and the fragrance of the night, your voice...
As though tracing after the sound of the penetrating wind, we continue to walk again.
At some point in the middle of our journey, that nostalgic echo started dying away.
Willing or not, we still cling on to our past, and are pushed out of the ring every time.
Unable to fight back, I take one look at my turned-around palm.
There, I begin to cry quietly.
The transient light that divided the sky became flowers and illuminated the surroundings.
Within this brightly colored scenery, you're not around.
I try to snatch away the brimming night stars with my fingertips.
Their warmth, like fireworks, dissipates and disappears, without ever returning.
During the days when I reached out my hands meaninglessly in a corner of this world,
I was only able to behind a shadow. How very ironic and cruel.
Even when I try to focus my eyes on it, even when I try to get closer to it,
I only end up learning what misery is.
The transient light that divided the sky became flowers and illuminated the surroundings,
dimming my bright and colorful reflection on the water surface.
Even when we stumbled, we'd nod and hold each other's hand again.
Right now, those held hands are all my hands.
During the days when I reached out my hands meaninglessly in a corner of this world,
even when I was ridiculed or laughed at, I didn't stop wishing.
Unable to fight back, I take one look at my turned-around palm.
There, I begin to cry quietly.
The transient light that divided the sky became flowers and illuminated the surroundings.
Within this brightly colored scenery, you're not around.
Like the fireworks that rose up in the sky far far away,
in an instant my radiance brimmed all over me.
Even my overflowing radiance will eventually dissipate,
so I'll make it travel far and wide, until it reaches your place
and projects my reflection there.
