A brand-new function in the new software "MEGURINE LUKA V4X" allows you to vary the expression and control the strength of each word! The bilingual vocalist sings seamlessly between styles such as "sweet breathy voice" and "growling voice".

The new version of "MEGURINE LUKA V4X" contains each 2 English and 2 Japanese databases which were elaborated for improving expressiveness. Each database was optimized for Cross Synthesis (voice morphing) and Growl functions which allow you to change the tension of the voice easily, and give also growl-like expressions to the voice. In Japanese, you can choose voice variations at each note in the song by the newly Crypton-developed function called "E.V.E.C" ("Enhanced Voice Expression Control"). Imagine the control of various expressions within one song: in a softer part of the voice whispers, whereas in the melodic in the melodic main part the vocalist pitches into a stronger high voice. Until now known limits of vocal expression are lifted with this new control!

For your immediate music production, Crypton provides an all-in-one package including the new "Piapro Studio" vocal editor that lets you easily handle vocal functions such as E.V.E.C and pitch graphic control, and the music software "Studio One" which contains over 200 virtual instruments.



Database (Voice Bank)

The database of MEGURINE LUKA V4X is based on a human voice, provided by Japanese voice actress Yuu Asakawa, and carefully recorded in a high-standard studio environment. Every sound was precisely edited to produce this database that includes different kind of vocal sounds. The database contains both Japanese and English and it is compatible with all the functions such as E.V.E.C, Gender Factor, Brightness, Cross Synthesis (morphing function), Growl (growl-like expressions to the voice), which can be operated through bundled vocal editor "Piapro Studio".

Japanese Database Set
(Suggested Tempo 50-170 BPM / Recommended Vocal Range: E2 - F4)

In Japanese, the newly Crypton-developed function "E.V.E.C." makes it possible to control the tension of the voice at each note, the variation in vocal sounds, breath length and intensity, and the emphasis of consonants at the end of a word. While Cross Synthesis (Morphing Function) makes it possible to control the voice type, the Growl function enables an expression of a roaring voice. By combining those new functions, it's possible to give a wide variety of vocal expressions.

DB - Hard
(2 types: with/without E.V.E.C.)
This database is characterized by a powerful voice that increases in strength as the pitch gets higher. It's suitable for expressing sharpness and precision in the voice when combined with the Voice Color control of E.V.E.C. It's also possible to set accents in the voice such as adding intensity of mouth closure and partially creating a cuter voice tone.

DB - Soft
(2 types: with/without E.V.E.C.)
This database is characterized by a soft and gentle voice. By combining the Voice Color function of E.V.E.C together with this database, it's s possible to express the fragile sound of breathing that is suited for singing a ballad. It makes it possible to give dynamic expressions which weren't possible to express with the previous Soft/Whisper Database by putting stronger Voice Color accent.



English Database Set
(Suggested Tempo: 50 - 170 BPM / Recommended Vocal Range: G#2 - C4)

In the English voice bank, the Cross Synthesis function makes it possible to control tension and strength level by cross synthesizing the 2 databases STRAIGHT and SOFT. The Growl function enables to express additional tension and roaring in the voice.

DB - Straight
This database is characterized by its smooth voice quality with a natural pronunciation. The Cross Synthesis function gives you full control over the voice's tension.

DB - Soft
This database is characterized by its soft and gentle voice. The Cross Synthesis function gives you full control over the voice's tension.
