Our new example is called "Red Hair Girl". We continued the
completion of the basic set of melismas, including the notes of length
1/16 and 1/32 with deviation within the range of two semi-tones higher
and lower than the main note. Exactly this type of melismas is
included in PMStyle that was used for processing this tune.
For the main tune and chorus PMStyle have calculated:
- Velocity changes
- Auto phrasing
- Harmonics curve
- Pitch Bend gliding and melismas
- Parameters of "Vibrato Objects"
- Noise curve
No manual editing at all!

Comments by Alexei Ustinov, CTO Jasmine Music Technology
Here, not unlike in the previous examples, where melismas were
realized using pitch bend curves calculations, we can observe moments
of unnatural, "synthetically" sounding Vocaloid, similar to those
resulting from pitch shifting in real singing. At the same time
Vocaloid's own expression elements - Attack and Vibrato objects, do
not add such synthetic inflection, though pitch changes are also found
there. The reason for this is in both Attack and Vibrato being complex
objects, changing not only pitch bend, but other synthesis parameters
as well. Thus, we should complicate melismas generation algorithms to
compensate this undesired effect. Of course, it would be great to
expand Vocaloid's expression elements library with melismas for
imitating soul singing, when pitch bend deviations occur in the middle
of a long note. Still, there should be much more of these expression
elements than Attack and Vibrato types: rhythmic and tone-pitch
variations of melismas, a huge number of them actually, and their use
depends on rhythmic nature of the song and on the music scale used in
it. So, even with such elements available, to choose the definite
element and to tie it to the definite note is not a task so simple.

Red Hair Girl
Verse 1
You will, you will notice her at once
Red hair, blue eyes and so light is her step
Maybe, maybe she is not your girl
But you never will forget day when you saw her
Refrain
Red Girl, Red Girl, Red Girl
I wish I met you, love
Way before now. Maybe
Red Girl, Red Girl, Red Girl
I knew your mystery
Way before now, Baby
Verse 2
If you see her, you will miss next time
And you'll find her beauty is so sublime
I don't, I don't know her secret yet
But her mystery of love you can't forget, no!
Refrain
