History[]
On August 22, 2023, prtv_1 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. prtv_1 was a Japanese female VOCALOID described as a captivating street singer voice that wraps around your mind and body, sometimes gently, sometimes curiously. Her name has not yet been determined.[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 were selected based on their answers to the questionnaire would receive the VX-β DAW plug-in, which used 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 (VX-β), 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 prtv_1, 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.
