VocaScream's last level is simple distortion. It's the same as the flanger and tremolo's Rate. The so-called DAMI-goe (thick/hoarse/rough voice) has a husky and very fast vibrato/tremolo. Manipulates the flanger's feedback and depth of the tremolo.Ĭhanges the mood of the vocal tone. When raise this parameter, a scream-like effect is gained. The contents are a flanger, tremolo, distortion, which makes using parameters and the voice easy. So, I made a VST plugin to make death growls and shouts with Vocaloid voices. When you try to listen to well-made voices, they're made with a general flanger and a fine/small sound wave, and colored with distortion. Vocaloid voices are fundamentally soft quality, so I think rock-type music is a bit weak.This gives everyone troubles, and there are people making shouts with various effectors. Specifically, recklessly messing with the PIT parameter. "Does that means even VOCALOID can make a growl voice if you change the pitch to be irregular?" I thought. Other than this, the feeling of musical interval is lost, and it sounds like static. In regards to singing with growl, the vibration of vocal cords is made to vibrate in an irregular restrained vibration.

Translator Note: See Sawtooth wave - Wikipedia The oscillator oscillates in a sine wave or sawtooth wave. When normally singing, vocal cord vibration is regular, the oscillating sound is kept at fixed pitches. Then, is there a concrete way that they differ? Things like the way the mouth is open is the same as normally singing. Singing with growl and normal singing differ in only the vibration of vocal cords. The body and mouth are filters for the synthesizer. The sound from the vocal cords comes from the mouth and the body resonates to become the human characteristic of the timbre, and depending on the state of the opening in the mouth "a i u e o" -esque sounds are made. The vocal cords are, in synthesizers, called an oscillator. Human voice is dependent on vibration of vocal cords to be made, the fact is the sound from the vocal cords is a very simple sound. To begin with, I wonder how a sound is structured like a growl? Then, I thought of it suddenly on the way back from work. I kept rethinking about the principle and it already became 4 years. This is the old song I made with this method. However, so the feeling of pitch for the original singing voice with this method didn't disappear, it was better to make the shouts in a high tone, but it feels different from a growl. The first method I thought up was to take the exported WAV from VOCALOID Editor and make distortions or amp simulation type distortion-style effects. Now, I thought "how do you make a voice like this in VOCALOID?" and tried to think of a way to do it. In English, we call it " death growl ", so I will be referring to "death voice" as "death growl" in this translation. Translator's Note: In Japan, heavy screaming vocals are called "death voice". There's various things written on the death growl page on Wikipedia, but it seems being called death voice is limited to Japan. I think people listening for the first time will mostly show rejection, but you will gradually find it fascinating and get used to it and become addicted. Rather than explaining with words, I think it's quicker to try and listen. Growl is often used as a singing technique in heavy metal, but particularly death metal/black metal/viking metal etc., and makes a screaming voice that tightens the throat and is static, not fixed, on a musical interval.
