free to talk about the new features and intelligence that Synthsizer V Studio 2 brings here.
Look forward to your thoughts and comments!
Hope you enjoy this big update!
Look fantastic! The rendering speed and audio quality improvements make it worthwhile, never mind the incredible new editing features. I am very excited. Nothing was mentioned regarding voice bank backward compatibility though. I noticed the voices used in the demo were all ‘V2’ so my guess is the new voice mode features will only be availble in V2 voicebanks?
Some very good news from Dreamtonics SynthV2:
The phoneme panel is great!
I really like the mouth parameter!
And the best (for me) is the speed: +300%, it’s so fast!
I also like the time display on the top bar.
The voice modes and expressions details seem useful too!
Nothing about:
Compatibility with old projects and V1 voices
Availability and price of software and voice upgrade (if any)
What’s new in Voices V2 (apart from using new parameters…)
Beta version?
Improvements: Audio import (velocity missing), Scripting.
So that no one has to search for long - here is the link to the video.
Synthesizer V Studio 2: Exclusive Preview
Yes and already inside this forum:
news-exclusive-preview-of-synthesizer-v-studio-2
I watched the full demo and hope that this version 2 will be released very soon.
Lots of good stuff. Hoping the update will be minimal if any $.
I did notice the voice banks had V2 next to their names so I guess if you update to sv2 you have to update your voicebanks too. Would be nice to know the upgrade path/cost. Never the less I think I’m hooked and will go with it whatever.
The video really made me want for the new version to be available soon.
Wow, this look great! Pitch control points and mouth parameters especially look like they will give much finer manual control over the sound rather than having to rely on the AI retakes to churn out the take you want to hear. Really looking forward to the release whenever it comes.
Me too! I saw many great new features and it sounds so much better too!
From a usability POV, it looks very nice.
I’m hoping the cost of upgrading purchased voices gets folded into the price of the studio, but we’ll see.
The update looks and sounds amazing. I’m especially excited about playing with the new phoneme timing controls.
That’s especially useful for the rap mode, which hasn’t been showcased yet. I hope that one got upgraded as well.
Yeah, I just bought a bunch of voices late last year. I’m gonna be pissed if they charge very much to upgrade them all!
Same here!
I currently own 12 VBs
So don’t upgrade the voices!
There is a throw-away comment in the promo video that an ‘old’ demo song was used for one bit, it implies to me that what we have now, projects for sure and I am certain voices also, will be OK in the new program when it launches.
Maybe ther will be a few new features that the ‘old’ voices may not be compatible with but the increased render speed alone… wow!
My render speed now -
My future render speed –
Render speed has always been an issue like tape rewinding and locate to hear was back. I am looking forward to render speed increase too but only have 4 cores anyway so I’m not expecting the speed what we saw on video. Also I work with the plugin where cores may be somewhat preoccupied elsewhere. On the video, it was likely the standalone.
GPU rendering would be nice if at all useful. As I type this I am reminded that vst support on tracks in the standalone version was somthing I thought would be cool too in 2.0 as well as piano note color matching the track color but not yet on both fronts. - yet.
An old demo song was used, but the features of the new editor required using new voices. I think it’s safe to say that old voices will not be able to take advantage of most of the benefits of Version 2, or else they wouldn’t be using V2 voices.
Some of us have made considerable investments in the SynthV ecosystem. I’ve currently got 20 voices. Even a marginal cost of $20/voice is significant.
My guess - and it’s only a guess - is that Dreamtonics has worked out a process for converting V1 voices to V2 voices, so it shouldn’t require any more work, other than actually training and re-encoding to the new format. Dreamtonics has done that in the past in order to add support for new features such as additional languages.
There’s also the question of whether V2 voices will be backwards compatible with the current editor.
As Kanru said in the video, this is still a WIP, and they haven’t even discussed this with their partners. So even if the V2 editor were ready to be released today, there’s still a lot of coordination that needs to be done.
WOW!
Very impressive upgrade, the speed increase is crazy
The GUI is beautiful, lovely steady transport bar, yEah
Fingers crossed it holds practical
We’ve seen Mr Kanru showing us the SynthesizerV 2 demo on a Mac .
That could mean it’s on silicon processor ( M , M1 M2 or even M4).
I already own an M1 Mac Studio machine and speed threads are never been an issue.
It could also mean that being on Intel wouldn’t fullfil the same expectations.
At least EclipsedSounds was aware of the Dreamtonics WIP, because as you could see they always posted the event, parallel to them
