What HATSUNE MIKU NT is
HATSUNE MIKU NT is singing voice synthesis software that creates vocals from melody and lyrics. Its Ver.2 product provides Original++, Dark++, and Whisper++ voice libraries, while the download version lists a Japanese voice library. Piapro Studio NT2 serves as the editor, either as a standalone application or as VST3 and Audio Units plugins. Plugin use requires a DAW that supports VST or AU. Vocal editing includes direct pitch drawing, note gain, consonant and attack controls, breathiness, Voice Drive, Voice Voltage, and Super Formant Shifter. Automatic Control uses a 3×3 matrix of singing styles and nuances, with parameters available for further editing. Steinberg Cubase LE is included with virtual instruments, sound materials, and plug-in effects. Windows 10 or 11 64-bit and macOS 10.15 or later are supported, including Apple Silicon Macs. An always-on internet connection is required. The paid download is 19,800 JPY once, with a 39-day trial.
