Vocalizer

Type words, draw a melody — make a robot sing. Free & open source.

VocalizerUI SCREENSHOT — ADD /plugins/vocalizer/ui.png

Overview

Vocalizer turns typed text into a sung vocal you can drop straight onto an audio track. Type your words, put a MIDI melody on the track, hit Generate, and neural text-to-speech is pitch-corrected to follow your notes — a stylized robot-singer / talkbox / autotuned vocal, formant-preserving (TD-PSOLA). Audition it through the track, then drag the rendered WAV onto any audio track. This is not a human-vocalist emulator — it's the stylized vocoder/autotune sound, ideal for electronic and bass music. Because Vocalizer uses espeak-ng (GPLv3) for its text-to-phoneme step, the whole plugin is released free and open source under GPLv3 — the full source is on GitHub.
