Usage for Music
VocaListener is a plug-in for Vocaloid3. AIST（National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) developed the system in where users can adjust the limits to where the original singer can normally sing to where the Vocaloid can better match the original singer's inflections and details to the point of sounding like the original singer.

In demos, Hatsune Miku and the Append voicebanks for her were used not only seperately but blended together, this added many layers to the singing output that a single voicebank alone could not achieve, resulting in a much more human-like tone.

Trivia
