From Piapro Studio version 1.2.2, in addition to selecting the Singer, following operations are available :
– Edit Singer
– Duplicate Singer
– Delete Singer

Select Singer

By double clicking each singer track or selecting each singer track and pressing the Return Key, the selected singer will be assigned to the track you selected.

※On Piapro Studio, you can also apply modified settings by clicking the outside of each setting window. Click “X” on the right of the setting window title bar or press the ESC key when you want to cancel without changing the settings.

Please note that each Singer has a distinctive language. If you change a Japanese singer track which already contains lyrics into an English Singer track, it will not vocalize correctly due to the difference in interpretation of phonetic symbols depending on the language.

Edit Singer

Selecting “Edit Singer” on the right-click menu switches to “Singer Editor” mode.

About “Imported Singer”

When you open a VSQX file, a ppsf format file or a host application song file created on a different PC environment, some singers may be displayed as “Imported Singer”.

An “Imported Singer” is a “Singer which has different parameters and does not exist on your PC”. It is a temporary singer only saved in the song data that you are editing.

These Imported Singer will disappear from the Singer List when opening another song data or ppsf file.

* It is called “Active Singer” in the VOCALOID Editor by YAMAHA.
