Impressive and funny at the same time.

want to spend tedious hours trying get Vocalaid to turn out a few
semi-acceptable seconds of output, and want to do it in real-time by talking
into a mic while controlling the pitch from a keyboard, I decided to see how
one of TC Helicon's latest devices would do at the job since no such demo
exists on their website to demonstrate all of the above and without being
camoflauged behind a real singer's voice.

wide dynamic range, especially of the climactic portion. And since the
melody dips down kind of low a couple of times after that, it starts to
sound a bit gender indeterminant. Perhaps I'll fix it later. But I wanted
to see if the quality of their latest products could do lead vocals, not
just background harmonies and doubling. It sounds pretty good. An MOTM 440
filter and pedal interface were used to manipulate the Supernova synth sound
(just to keep it more on topic).
