Introduction
Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer developed by Yamaha
Corporation.
It is one of the few singing synthesizers that are
available to end-users, and is the most widely used in the
world currently.
It provides end-users not merely a synthesis
engine but an integrated environment in which the user can
generate singing voice easily and use it for music production.
