Those samples all contain a single Japanese phonic that, when strung together, creates full lyrics and phrases. She was created by taking vocal samples from voice actress Saki Fujita at a controlled pitch and tone. She was built using Yamaha's Vocaloid 2 technology, and later updated to newer engine versions. Each had a particular concept and vocal direction. Miku was intended to be the first of a series of Vocaloids called the " Character Vocal Series", which included Kagamine Rin/Len and Megurine Luka. Hatsune Miku was the first Vocaloid developed by Crypton Future Media after they handled the release of the Yamaha vocal Meiko and Kaito. The name of the character comes from merging the Japanese words for first ( 初, hatsu), sound ( 音, ne), and future ( ミク, miku ), thus meaning "the first sound of the future", referring to her position as the first of Crypton's "Character Vocal Series". Her voice is modeled from Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita. She was the second Vocaloid sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the 2 engine. She also uses Crypton Future Media's Piapro Studio, a standalone singing synthesizer editor. Miku uses Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2, Vocaloid 3, and Vocaloid 4 singing synthesizing technologies.
Miku's personification has been marketed as a virtual idol and has performed at live concerts onstage as an animated projection (rear cast projection on a specially coated glass screen).
Hatsune Miku ( Japanese: 初音ミク), also called Miku Hatsune, is a Japanese Vocaloid software voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media and its official moe anthropomorphism, a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails. Creative Commons BY-NC (character design) Įc.
