Talk:Kokone (VOCALOID3)/@comment-29714788-20160418071124/@comment-53539-20160418110913

Not really. Falsetto in Vocaloid normally is a accident, since Falsetto. Big Al is another "accident".

They did not purposely create those tones and they are often outside of the optimum range, which means though they end up occurring, they are also mostly LQ since they are sung outside of the Vocaloids best range. The same thing happens with the Vocaloid going low... Vocaloid has to improvise when it ventures outside its best ranges, so all sounds are often stretched. this is usually why the best vocal range is often somewhere mid-optimum range, where the keys they recorded best overlap, though this is not always the case.

In Kokone's case, the Fasletto is on purpose, so the tone is deliberate and occurs intentionally when she hits the right range. Also because her optimum range covers it, the Falsetto is also HQ assured.

Since normal vocals and falsetto overlap, it really depends and most Vocaloids don't mimic falsetto when they go high. This is because the voice wasn't recorded to get falsetto on purpose. So in the overlap range and higher, they will usually mimic the normal vocal range.

The other thing to note is talking, singing, whistling and falsettos are all different ranges and Vocaloid focuses on "singing". So its not trying to get Falsetto on purpose (And why natural fasletto is touch and go with the software). If you've heard the Vocaloid "talk" in Vocaloid itself, you know what its like, so its going to be a big of a problem elsewhere.

Its also difficult to really talk about falsetto when it comes to females. There are a lot of people who still can't accept women can do falsetto. so Vocaloids who can also mimic by "accident" it aren't always noticed. But... The best example of a female who can do high ranges, but just misses the mark is Merli. Males are noticeable more when they go falsetto because of the large pitch difference between it and their normal vocal.

Also in regards to Iroha... Iroha's falsetto... Remember what I said about males being more noticeable? ITs a touchy subject, but Iroha has more then meets the eye going on here and is closer to VY2v3 then Kokone's falsetto. :-/
