vocaloid

I'm usually behind in tech stuff: not because I don't dig on it hard but because I'm not young enough to just know when this stuff comes out exactly the minute it does. A student of mine turned me onto this product (ultimately from Yamaha): the ZEROGcs Vocaloid. On their page you can listen to demos and download the free version 1 (which is quite limited but still quite cool).

Basically this is a synthesizer voice: in a piano-roll type scroll you type in the notes and the lyrics. It strikes me that the uses here are many, many, many. If nothing else it's fun to listen to the tunes that others have done with this...
