1.4.6
2021-06-13
Major sound update. New hybrid human-synth sounds. Users found the Yamaha voices unnatural, though in pitch & time, so we combined them with a studio vocalist recorded sound set, for the natural tone of real voice with the accuracy of synth voice. NB: vocal lyrics either human or synth are never entirely in tune re natural pitch variation but in Clear Pitch you are tuning to the instrument, with the lyrics there to assist mnemonically and for paired-associate learning, not as a reference pitch.

Major sound update. New hybrid human-synth sound set. User advice suggested the Yamaha Vocaloid sounds were somewhat unnatural, although they were in pitch and time. The answer was to employ the best of both systems, and so using a well known studio vocalist we re-recorded the entire sound set, then combined that with the Vocaloid sounds, to create a hybrid to avail the natural nuance and tone of a real voice with the accuracy of the synth voice. Please note, vocal lyrics either from a human or a synth are never entirely in tune as there are natural variations in pitch in order to create a lifelike effect, but this is not important in Clear Pitch because you are not tuning from the vocals, you are tuning from the instrument, and the vocal lyrics exist to assist mnemonically and to facilitate paired-associate learning, so are a secondary factor when interpreting the pitch or chroma of a sound.

This version uses Yamaha Vocaloid software to produce much more realistic synthetic vocals. This system also means we have been able to have a male and female voice to better reflect our audience.
