Introduction

This page serves as a way of documenting all the files included in the Artists/RetroBunn folder in the DECtalk Archive. This page includes comments on how the files were made, and what software was used to create them, as well as credits for any third-party material used (such as instrumentals).

Grandfather's Clock (Japanese+English) (Synthesizer V Studio 2 Cover) (Work-in-Progress)

The first file uploaded to this folder, this work-in-progress cover of the song was created using Natalie, a voice for Synthesizer V Studio 2. This takes advantage of the ability for voices to sing in five supported languages, regardless of what the native language of the voice is.

This rendition of the song is based on the arrangement of the song by Japanese singer Ken Hirai, using verses from both the Japanese and English versions of the song.

【Haruno Sora】 Tsubasa (Synthesizer V Studio 2 Cover) (Work-in-Progress)

This work-in-progress cover of Tsubasa (translated as Wing in English), is created using Synthesizer V Studio 2 by Dreamtonics Co. Ltd, a singing synthesizer that is similar in functionality and use to Vocaloid, but it generates vocals using a different approach that is still human-sounding.

The song comes from the Sound Pool series, a series of music packs for creators and producers, the packs being created by AH Software Co. Ltd, an importer and seller of various music software in Japan. The song would be reused several times for showcasing their Vocaloid and singing synthesizer products. The vocals used in this cover are provided by a Japanese female voice known as Haruno Sora, also developed and distributed by AH Software.

Country Road (Work in Progress) Sung by Ayame (Synthesizer V Studio)

This work in progress cover of Country Road was once again created using Synthesizer V Studio 2. The vocals were provided by Ayame, a Japanese female voice. The karaoke instrumental is by ACOUSTIOKE on YouTube.

Puchi Majo Lana-chan (Lana the Little Witch) Sung by Natsume Itsuki (Synthesizer V Cover)

Translated as Lana the Little Witch in English, this song was created using Synthesizer V Studio 2. The vocals were provided by Natsume Itsuki, a female Japanese voice created by Hifumi, Inc. based on the singer of the same name.

This song is also part of the Sound Pool series much like Tsubasa was, and much like that song, it was used a couple of times as a demo song for a few Vocaloid and later Synthesizer V voices from AH Software.

Hoshi no Kakera (Fragments of Star - English Version) Sung by GUMI SV (Synthesizer V Studio 2 Cover) (Work in Progress)

Not to be confused with the Hatsune Miku song of the same name, this work-in-progress cover of the song is once again made with Synthesizer V Studio 2. The vocals were provided by Gumi, more specifically her Synthesizer V version.

Originally a Japanese song, the English version of the song (which this cover is based on) was created back in 2013, and was used as a demo song for Gumi's original English Vocaloid3 vocal. The lyrics in this version were changed so that they sounded a little better in terms of how the lyrics flow together.

Laufey - Lover Girl - Sung by Natalie (Synthesizer V Studio 2 Cover)

This song, originally performed by Laufey, was created using Synthesizer V Studio 2, using Natalie once again.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Sung by 12 Virtual Singers

This interpretation of a classic Christmas song is once again created using Synthesizer V Studio 2. As the name of the file implies, this was created with twelve voices in a single project file.

The arrangement of the track is based on the Pentatonix arrangement. I only decided to cover the first part of the song, as the rest of the song would've been too complex to work on. The table below shows which voices were used in the cover.
