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.
Karakuri Pierrot
I'm standing here alone
as always all alone
waiting for you to come
but I know that wouldn;t happen
passengers walking by
floating clouds in the sky
I'd better laugh it off
all the things I've done for you
is it an easy thing to do
or is it difficult to do
except the fact that you have gone without me
then take another step
I can't believe that this is true
don't wanna hear the words from you
how can you not find out
what you've been meant to me
I'm a stupid little clown
I can't see, I can't hear, I can't be away from you
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, so hard to breathe
yes look at it, this is it, the fate between you and me
there'll never be a chance for me to get to you
even you put me down
the world still spins around
spinning around and around
as if I am nothing at all
with just a blink of an eye
you took my breath away
it must be what they call
love at first sight
is it by chance to be us two
or is it meant to be us two
it might be better for me to leave behind the answer you've said
I can't resist the warmth from you
no matter what I've tried to do
the smile on your face
the happiness you bring
every single little thing just makes me drown
I can't see, I can't hear, I can't be away from you
I can't see, I can't hear, I can't be away from you
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, so hard to breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, how can I breathe
everything, everything, everything won't be the same
everywhere, everywhere I go is you
no I can't stand no more, lying down right here waiting
for you to pick up every single piece of me
all I see, all I hear, all I fear is fading out
all I breath, all I breathe, it's you I breathe
yes, I'm the one that you always call pierrot-san
will always stay the same cause I know you
will never set me free
