Vocaloid TONIO is a plug-in VIRTUAL VOCALIST modelled on the voice of professional male classical singer, and powered by Yamaha VOCALOID2 Singing Synthesis Technology.

With a vocal register that covers both baritone and tenor, Tonio has a voice that will satisfy the most demanding of compositions. 

His voice is full of unmistakable character, colour and charm, and he will hit those high notes every time with perfect accuracy. Once he is installed into your PC he will allow you to create synthesized singing of unprecedented quality and remarkable realism.
 
Whether it's soaring leads, harmonies or backing vocals, Tonio can sing any word from the English language (and other languages too with a little work).

Tonio is also very well suited if you want to be adventurous and experimental, since his voice can be easily modified and shaped in many ways. 

In addition to singing any words or combination of syllables or phonemes you can imagine, Tonio will spread any sustained vowel (or voiced consonant) across as many notes as you like, with perfect legato.

You can select from several different natural vibrato types and drag and drop your chosen type to any note or notes, and control the time-position and amount of the vibrato.

And that's just the beginning - you have control over all of the following parameters, which you can bring to bear on any part of your creation:

  • Changing syllables/phonemes

  • Timing of each note (precise position/length)
  • Vibrato (you can change its type/position/amount/frequency)
  • Volume
  • Attack
  • Crescendo or diminuendo
  • Pitch bend (amount, and positionable in time)
  • Glide (portamento)
  • Resonance (Frequency/bandwidth/amplitude)

  • Harmonics
  • Noise
  • Brightness
  • Clearness
  • Gender factor

 

Tonio can also be used with the VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4 Editors - see System Requirements for more details.

The range of expression that can be achieved is impressive... fits the bill if you want to try something different." - Future Music Magazine, UK
