History[]

2022[]

On June 30, 2022, a demonstration of the new upcoming High Dynamics Voice Models (HDVM) feature was uploaded to Dreamtonics Co., Ltd.'s YouTube and bilibili accounts. An unnamed female English voice database was shown, but it was not confirmed who this vocalist was at the time.[1][2]

On September 22, Dreamtonics revealed two new voice databases in progress: a feminine English voice known as "Natalie" and a masculine Japanese voice known as "Yuma". Each vocal had one demo featured in their debut video and a brief description of their voice databases. Both were confirmed to be compatible with the Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis, Vocal Mode, and AI retake functions.[3] On October 7, Natalie and Yuma officially released as digital copies, with starter packs available from Dreamtonics and AH-Software Co. Ltd..[4] At some point after Natalie was revealed or released, when viewing the HDVM demo on bilibili, with the "bullet comments screen" function turned on, the portion with the new English female voice would have Natalie's demo pop up on screen, confirming that she was this vocalist.[5]

2024[]

On May 8, 2024, Natalie Nicole Gilbert, an American singer and musician, officially confirmed that she was the voice provider for Natalie.[6] Follow-up emails to Dreamtonics verified this claim.[7]

Updates[]

Natalie AI v103b1 - November 10, 2022[8] 
A free update for Natalie was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.8.0b1 update. This enables her to use the new Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM) feature.
Natalie AI v103 - November 24, 2022[9][10] 
Final version update compatible for Synthesizer V Studio 1.8.0 which enables Natalie to use the new Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM) feature if the beta version was not installed previously.
Natalie AI v106b1 - April 18, 2023[11][12] 
A free update for Natalie was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.9.0b1 update. This implemented the new rap feature available for the English and Mandarin languages. Cantonese Chinese was added to the Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis feature as well as general improvements to the overall function, resulting in more accurate pronunciation that sounds closer to a native speaker when singing foreign words.
Natalie AI v106b2 - May 23, 2023[13][14] 
A free update for Natalie was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.9.0b2 update. This version of the vocal allowed for compatibility with the engine's second beta, which focused on rectifying several design issues identified by the user base in the 1.9.0b1 post-release survey.
Natalie AI v106 - June 21 2023[15][16] 
Final version update compatible for Synthesizer V Studio 1.9.0 which enables Natalie to use the rap feature (English and Mandarin Chinese only) and allows for Cantonese Chinese Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis if the beta versions were not installed previously.
Natalie AI v107b1 - August 2, 2023[17][18][19][20] 
A free update for Natalie was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.10.0b1 update. This enhanced pitch generation by utilizing Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), translating to fewer off-key errors, making better use of vibrato, and creating more expressive transitions between notes. This also allowed for the use of the new "Enhancement" slider in the AI Retakes panel, which controlled the level of changes introduced by RLHF. For Synthesizer V Studio Pro users, feedback submission was enabled, allowing users to consensually share their preferred takes with only Dreamtonics for research and development purposes, where models trained with this feedback would be deployed in future voice database updates. Users may also opt out of this feature if undesired.
Natalie AI v107b2 - September 28, 2023[21][22][23] 
A free update for Natalie was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.10.0b2 update, which was the second beta version following version 1.10.0b1 that introduced enhancements to voice databases and integrated the latest user feedback via Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Regarding the editor, numerous reported issues were addressed for a more fluid experience. A new generation of pitch models were trained using the extensive feedback from users over the past month, and the new models offered greater accuracy in voice timbre reproduction, as well as a reduction in mispronunciations. Dreamtonics also focused on issues from the previous beta release that made Vocal Modes seem less distinct on certain vocals, ensuring clearer differentiation in the 1.10.0b2 update. The latest update also introduced a new feature in the Note Properties Panel that allowed for even division of a note into multiple syllables, proving to be a useful tool for songs with faster tempos.
Natalie AI v107 - October 19, 2023[24][25] 
Final version update compatible for Synthesizer V Studio 1.10.0 which enables Natalie to use Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) as well as other enhancements (as listed in v107b1 and v107b2's notes) if the beta version was not installed previously.
Natalie AI v108 - October 26, 2023[26] 
A free update for Natalie was released that added support for the Japanese language to the rap feature.
Natalie AI v109b1 - December 18, 2023[27] 
A free update for Natalie was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.11.0b2 update. This implemented support for the Spanish language in the Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis feature.
Natalie AI v109 - April 4, 2024[28][29] 
Final version update compatible for Synthesizer V Studio 1.11.0 which enables Natalie to sing in Spanish through Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis if the beta version was not installed previously.

Product Information
Optimum
Genre: Easy listening, EDM  Range: G3 ~ A#4[31]

Versions
Lite Version/FLT Available?: No  Starter Pack Available?: Yes (with SVS2)  Trial Version Available?: No  Web Version Available?: No

Package details as noted:
Natalie is a feminine English voice database based on the voice of the American singer, Natalie Nicole Gilbert. As expected of an AI voice database, this enables her to sing with a more human-like and realistic voice.

Vocal traits as noted:
  • Regarding Natalie's ranges, she has a soft and clear upper range, in addition to rich and expressive vocals in her lower range. On the highest notes in the range, she can smoothly transition into a natural falsetto tone, giving her a dreamy quality.
  • Natalie was noted to be suitable for easy listening and music with strong backing tracks like EDM, but she can be flexible in a wide variety of genres.
  • With High Dynamics Voice Model (HDVM), which later migrated to Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM) per the 1.8.0b1 update on November 10, 2022,[9] Natalie can sing more realistically through changes in volume and breath, further enriching singing details, making each singing unique, and providing creators with more options. Through this mode, she can use AI Retakes to create multiple "takes" of a sung section to find an ideal vocal without the need for "laborious tuning". This feature is only available in the Synthesizer V Studio Pro and Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro editors.

Phonetic notes as noted:
  • Phoneme format: ARPABET
  • Through Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis, Natalie can sing in not only English but also in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. Since the release of her v106b1 update on April 18, 2023, she can also sing in Cantonese Chinese with this feature; since her v109b1 update on December 18, she can also sing in Spanish with this feature. Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis is only available in the Synthesizer V Studio Pro and Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro editors.

Vocal Modes as noted (Synthesizer V Studio Pro and Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro editors only):
  • Natalie comes with five variations:
    • "Soft"
    • "Soulful"
    • "Steady"
    • "Bold"
    • "Warm"

System requirements as noted:
  • OS: Microsoft Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 (64 bit) and up; Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and up; Ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit) and up.[32]
    • In January 2023, AH-Software removed support for Windows 8.1, for which extended support had ended, and also upped the macOS requirement to 10.13 (High Sierra) or later.[33]
  • CPU: Intel Core i5 or higher, or equivalent AMD processor.
    • For high-quality editing of AI audio: Intel Core series 4th generation i5 or higher is recommended, or AMD Athlon X4 845 or higher, including Ryzen series.
    • After the release of Synthesizer V Studio 1.5.1, which added native support for Apple Silicon Mac computers, AHS appended this to the CPU specs: Apple M1 or higher.[34]
  • Memory: 2GB or more.
  • HDD: 1 GB or more.
  • Display resolution: 1280 x 800 or higher resolution.
  • Others: audio device, internet connection.

Certain users were invited to create songs using earlier versions of the voice database and release the songs in sequence after the product's release as a complement to official demo tracks. It should also be noted that certain songs may not be involved with the early invitation and were added based on the company's preference. Only songs that feature Natalie as a main vocalist would be added to this demo table.
