Web Synthesizer V is an internet browser-integrated vocal synthesis engine developed by Dreamtonics Co., Ltd.. It was released initially on December 31, 2019 with one vocal, JA-F2.
In collaboration with AH-Software Co. Ltd., Dreamtonics released an updated version of the engine now including two vocals (Kotonoha Akane & Aoi and Saki) on July 22, 2020.[1][2]
History[]
Web Synthesizer V was announced on December 31, 2019 and released the same day. [3] Kanru Hua revealed that this version of Synthesizer V was a branch-off of the SVR2 development which later became known as Synthesizer V Studio.[4] This version of Synthesizer V used a minimized voice database version of JA-F2 (codenamed Masaki) that was optimized for then-current trends in the audio production industry.[5]
On July 22, 2020, an update for Web Synthesizer V was released by Dreamtonics Co., Ltd. in collaboration with AH-Software Co. Ltd., including two vocals: Kotonoha Akane & Aoi and Saki (the latter being an evolution of JA-F2). This version supports Google Chrome (versions 77 to 91) as well as Microsoft Edge browsers (versions 79 to 91) on Windows and Mac systems.[1][2][6]
Requirements[]
No system requirements were listed for this product, however a computer must be connected to the internet with a supported browser in order to use Web Synthesizer V. Currently, for the JA-F2 version hosted by Dreamtonics, only Google Chrome (version 77 and up) and the nightly version of Firefox are fully supported,[7] in addition to Microsoft Edge's Chromium-based versions (79 and up).
For the Saki/Kotonoha version hosted by AH-Software, only Google Chrome versions 77 to 91 and Microsoft Edge versions 79 to 91 (all released before the end of July 2021)[8] are supported; newer web browser versions released since the end of July 2021 cannot access the engine due to security updates.
