The Creator of the Second Dimension

In an insignificant provincial capital city in central China, Shen Qianxiao looked at the backstage of her creator in surprise.

She used to work in a game company and was responsible for producing some old-fashioned battle music. Her personal creations did not match the company's games, and they were never useful.

Seeing Hatsune Miku at the New Year's Festival, and learning about this sound synthesis engine, she immediately downloaded the trial version. During the few days of Chinese New Year, Shen Qianxiao, who didn't have to leave relatives, quickly mastered the usage of this software. Hatsune Miku sings the songs he wrote, but this trial version can only support a few voices. Although he can follow the tutorial to create a simple singing melody, he cannot achieve Shen Qianxiao's songs.

After many attempts, she simply let herself go and created a magical melody based on a foreign folk song she saw on TV during the Chinese New Year. , uploaded without checking.

Unexpectedly, this video has become the most popular video at the moment. A week later, the number of views has exceeded 4 million. Even at 9 o'clock in the evening, the number of simultaneous viewers will not be less than 300.

Within a week, there were continuous creations related to the Scallion Song. Someone edited it and made a 20-hour version of the Scallion Song in an infinite loop, which made the audience shout "I can't get out". In the future, it will be replaced with various versions of green onion songs with other characters, and there is even an advertisement for Hatsune Miku to endorse green onions.

Originally, Shen Qianxiao wanted Hatsune Miku to hold the green onion just because she saw the green onion in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, now Hatsune Miku has been bound to the green onion. Wherever she appears, the green onion is a must. few.

Didi--

Shen Qianxiao's QQ rang. This is a conversation from Liu Xueyan, the editor of Hatsune Video Network. He added Shen Qianxiao a few days ago, expressing his love for the Song of Scallions, and encouraging Shen Qianxiao to create more Hatsune Miku songs.

After learning that Shen Qianxiao had pre-ordered the advanced version of Hatsune Miku, Liu Xueyan immediately said that Hatsune Video Network could directly give her a premium version as a gift.

[Liu Xueyan]: The CD has been handed over to the courier. It is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. We are looking forward to your new work.

[Shen Qianxiao]: Ah, thank you so much. I actually have a lot of songs, but I couldn’t finish them because I couldn’t sing well. Now that I have Hatsune Miku, I should be able to fulfill my long-cherished wish.

[Liu Xueyan]: By the way, we have established a group for the creators of Hatsune Miku. Are you interested in joining?

[Shen Qianxiao]: Okay, okay, I am willing.

Shen Qianxiao soon received an invitation from Liu Xueyan and joined a QQ group called [Hatsune Miku Creators Exchange Group]. She soon discovered that this group was full of familiar original music authors on the website.

[Dolitan]: Hey, here's a newcomer, welcome!

[Rampaging boy]: Welcome newcomers, join the group and take photos!

[Friends of Nature]: Hey, the name card of the group of newcomers, what the hell, is it the one who sang onions?

[Meteor]: Wow, really, group status -1.

【Super Cell】: group status -1.

Most of these original music authors here published pure music before, or found amateur singers to sing. Now that Hatsune Miku is available, they have invested in it one after another. Under the limited function of the trial version, the performance of this software is squeezed To the extreme.

Shen Qianxiao was a little apprehensive. Before she released the video, she often watched the videos of these creators to find inspiration. She never thought that she could communicate with these people through unintentional works. It was hard for her to imagine.

[Rampaging Boy]: By the way, I received the software yesterday. Wow, this software is richer than I imagined. In contrast, the trial version is just the tip of the iceberg. I immediately imported the clips I made earlier. I guess A new song will be released next week.

[Friend of Nature]: I'm so envious, mine is still on the way, and the hot chicken **** express delivery at my house just went to work yesterday.

[Meteor]: Actually, I think your songs are too fast. How can ordinary people sing such fast-paced songs.

[Rampaged Boy]: You don't understand, it's because ordinary people can't sing, so Hatsune Miku needs to control this kind of songs that humans can't sing. This is her biggest advantage as an electronic singer and a virtual idol!

Seeing their communication, Shen Qianxiao was a little excited. The composers in her company didn't know how to communicate like this. Everyone followed the steps and got off work after finishing their work. There was no more communication about music at all.

When her heart was surging, Shen Qianxiao also suddenly had some inspiration. She minimized the chat group, and immediately opened the composition software to start writing the song. Ever since she met Hatsune Miku, she felt that the whole world suddenly lit up.

At the end of February, the weather was no longer cold, and besides the ghost [beep——] videos on Chuyin Video, there were gradually more videos from another division.

On the one hand, some people use the trial version of Hatsune Miku to cover various famous songs, but due to the limitation of the program, the produced effect is not ideal. Just when people feel that Hatsune Miku is not as powerful as imagined, another type of video appears. up.

That is Hatsune Miku's original song.

The simple video only has a landscape painting, which is the accompaniment and songs, while the more complicated ones have pictures drawn by the artist. These various original songs have greatly enriched the video types of Hatsune Video Network.

For example, "Melting" uploaded by [Super Cell], this song is full of girlish hearts, full of love for the sweetheart, and with the beautiful melody, it seems to melt.

Another example is the song "Although the singing voice has no shape" by [Dolitan]. The soothing tune and gentle lyrics are moving, as if recalling the most beautiful things. This song soon surpassed one million hits, climbing It reached the top three in the music zone charts.

Among the creators who make Hatsune Miku sing more and more like humans, the most special one should be the author [Rampaged Boy]. That song is completely beyond the perception of ordinary people.

The song created by [Rampage Boy] is called "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku". The rhythm of this song is extremely fast, and the lyrics are spoken at an astonishing speed. Half of the time, the speed of speech reached an astonishing level.

The speed of this song has reached 240BPM, with a maximum of 12 notes per second, which has already broken through the limit of human beings.

The lyrics tell the story of Hatsune Miku's BUG as a software, which caused the sound to be damaged and had to be deleted forcibly. Because of the parting meaning contained in the lyrics, it is also called "the fastest parting song" by netizens.

In the mouths of almost all the creators, the full version of Hatsune Miku is simply a real electronic singer. As long as she spends energy, her singing voice can be infinitely similar to human voices, and she can also create completely different songs like [Rampaged Boy]. A human voice.

The high-quality Hatsune Miku videos that sprung up like mushrooms quickly raised people's expectations for this software. On March 9, the first phase of the sound synthesis engine VOCALOID, Hatsune Miku, was officially released.
