Gazenβ VX-β | Songs Albums Notable Originals


This article is about the VOCALOID β-STUDIO software known as a voicebank. If you are looking for the VOCALOID concept then click here.

History[]

On August 22, 2023, Gazenβ was unveiled as one of the first AI voicebanks to be released for VOCALOID β-STUDIO as a part of the VX-β DAW plugin. Gazenβ was a Japanese male VOCALOID described as an old rock singer voice with an insatiable need for freedom.[1] Yamaha Corporation began accepting applications for participation in the VOCALOID β-STUDIO campaign and encouraged the creation of new music using the VX-β application. It was noted that in the future, Yamaha would recruit new applicants irregularly, and in addition to those who have won the lottery, the winning applicants who have been selected based on the answers to the questionnaire would receive the VX-β DAW plug-in, which uses singing voice synthesis technology that was still in the research stage, and would be distributed free of charge.[2][3] Music created using VX-β was subject to the individual character terms of use of each voicebank.[4] Users could freely publish within the scope of the terms. A total of nine voicebanks were announced for beta testing of the software including prtv_0, prtv_1, prtv_2, prtv_3, Gazenβ, nagiβ, multiβ-N (which included an additional seventeen individual voicebanks within the main multiβ-N voicebank package), Gekiyakuβ and Kazehikiβ.

Beginning August 23, the first round of recruitment began, and winning applicants were presented with a download and serial codes for the VX-β plugin and the included nine voicebanks. Those who were not selected at the time would automatically be enrolled for the next recruitment.[5]

Usable Period[]

VX-β and included voicebanks, such as Gazenβ, had a limited usable period. After March 31, 2024, the activity end date of this project, it will not start as a plug-in and cannot be used. It was encouraged that users save important work that was being worked on by exporting them onto their respective DAW software until then.
