Polysmart - thanks for explaining how you do it! However, I'm none the wiser as I'm not a musician - ecept for the time I played a Hofner violin Bass like Paul McCarthney's - back in '64, when i had my own local band, "The Gi-T-Ups. I would be interested in hearing what Vocaloid 3 sound like when it's up and runing. Tks for taking the time to answer my questions. CFN. PS - I'm gonna listen to you again!
This set here: smartech.bandcamp.com/album/10-reasons has a few other examples of generated lyrics (especially Telephone), in case you are interested.
Polysmart - had to look @ you vid a 2nd time. Again - awesome! Not knowing anything of the technicalities, were words/phrases assigned to each keys(s)? Great sound. Tks for uploading this great song.
@peanutzinuk Thanks for your kind comments. The synthesized singing is not done in real time. I couldn't get Vocaloid to play phonemes in real-time, and the program is overall rather slow. Instead I rendered the voice as a wav file and played it synchronously with the other instrumentation. I haven't used it in a while since it only runs in Windows XP. I hope Vocaloid 3 will support real-time performance features when it comes out.
WOOOOW! I'm overawed! I have been backing a lot of groups over the years, but to see & hear what you do. . .awesome! I liked the xtra sounds you got out. . .go on - -how did you get the polython/robbie robot words? I'm interested in the technicalities. All I can say is thanks for a great performance of a great song. Tks.
That was ... awesome! I love the way you add a number of ambient effects throughout the song, while you take Winwood's instrumental tones and embellish them with something new. I bet Steve Winwood is proud to see someone emulate his work this way. At least he should be.
@polysmart I gotta say that I'd actually be ready to download an MP3 of this and listen to it. I better check out what else you've done. I could really be missing out.
Man, I am diggin' this so hard! I love the sounds you managed to score. Pretty damn close, but nicely not quite there. Love the solo too. A little different beat and arrangement, and this could be a really hot French-house re-imagining!
That solo IS awesome mate! I honestly prefer this to both Steve Winwood versions; being fussy I'd like some massive crash cymbals in places, but otherwise it's fantastic! YEAH!!
I just want to say that i am an extreme fan of this song. classic hit.
I know you don't know me in person, but I am a strong music critic, and I want you to take this compliment from me. Absolutely fantastic job with the solo, you tweaked it to the right sound to make it your own. I absolutely cannot get enough of this solo. Great Job.

Very nice - I'd love to know what chords you used - I'm baffled trying to work them out from the song.

@seventhwave87 Search ultimateguitar for chords. There are several extended chords I doubt I transcribed accurately for the song anyway.

You should also try recording a cover of the 1987 version with added drums, tambourine and sync effects.

That Vocaloid gives it a Buggles kinda feel. I dig it, anyway.

@polysmart I reckon it's better than the original, would be just an average pants cover without the vocals, but the vocals totally make it.
