PowerFX has released Big Al, a vocal performance synthesizer for Windows.

At $179, Voicaloid Big Al puts slightly creepy voice synthesis within reach of just about anyone.

Type in words and notes, and Big Al’s voice synthesis technology will create a virtual vocal performance.

Check out the Vocaloid Big Al voice synthesis demo above. If that doesn’t peg your creep-o-meter at 11, don’t miss the Vocaloid Big Al & Sweet Ann duet below.

Big Al was developed using the latest VOCALOID 2 software from Yamaha. Type in words or lyrics, select a melody and hear the results “sung” back.

You can use the included tools and effects to improve or manipulate your results. Big Al can sing up to 16 parts simultaneously, so you can create backing vocals or choirs.

Big Al´s vocals come from a real singer who was recorded extensively, enabling PowerFX to create a comprehensive library of his vocal sounds. Vocaloid users type in words and assign melodies or import MIDI files to Big Al. “He” then emulates the words and notes given to him. Expressive effects, vibrato and dynamics can be added using the editor.

Big Al is available to purchase for Windows PC (Standalone/VST/ReWire), priced at $149 USD for the download version or $179 USD for the DVD.
