Direct answer
What is Synthesizer V?
Synthesizer V is an AI vocal synthesis environment that lets music creators compose, arrange, and edit singing performances using licensed voice databases, piano-roll controls, and multilingual synthesis.
Synthesizer V Studio (including Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro) is developed by Dreamtonics as an AI vocal production instrument and standalone application. Rather than generating unpredictable audio files from text prompts, it operates like a precision virtual instrument. Musicians enter pitch melodies via MIDI or a piano-roll interface, input lyrics, and assign voice models trained on licensed performances from professional human vocalists. The application provides detailed acoustic and expressive controls. Producers can shape dynamic vocal modes such as chest, belt, and breathy tones, adjust pitch curves and vibrato, manipulate phoneme timing, and tune parameters like tension, breathiness, tone shift, and mouth opening. Real-time live rendering visualizes parameter edits immediately on waveforms to minimize ear fatigue and speed up composition. Synthesizer V includes Cross-Lingual Synthesis, enabling native voice libraries to sing across six supported languages without altering the underlying vocal timbre. Once licensed and activated, the software processes neural vocal synthesis locally on the user's computer, keeping creative sessions private and functional without an active internet connection.
Unlike prompt-to-song AI generators that output flattened audio files, Synthesizer V functions as a granular musical instrument plugin inside standard DAWs, using ethically licensed singers, MIDI-level control, real-time waveform rendering, and local neural processing.
Product capabilities
Key features
Piano-Roll Melody and Lyric Editing
Compose vocal lines by drawing notes directly on the piano roll or importing MIDI files, then typing lyrics for immediate vocalization.
Cross-Lingual Synthesis
Allows any compatible voice database to sing in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, or Cantonese while maintaining singer timbre.
Vocal Modes and Expression Controls
Modify vocal performance styles dynamically across chest, belt, soft, and breathy deliveries, alongside controls for tension, breathiness, and mouth opening.
Live and Accelerated Offline Rendering
Provides real-time waveform visualization during editing, with Studio 2 Pro offering up to 300% faster offline rendering.
Smart Pitch Controls and Phoneme Timing
Fine-tune pitch deviation, vibrato depth, retakes for pitch, timbre, or pronunciation, and adjust syllable transitions via a dedicated phoneme timing panel.
Audio-to-MIDI and Vocal Conversion
Convert recorded vocal takes or vocal samples into MIDI data to test, arrange, and re-render melodies with different synthetic singers.
Local Processing Architecture
Performs neural vocal synthesis locally on Windows and macOS workstations once voices are activated, eliminating server uploads during production.
Workflow
How Synthesizer V works
- Install Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro as a standalone application or as a VST3, AU, AAX, or ARA plugin in your DAW.
- Input melodies using a MIDI keyboard, import existing MIDI/vocal audio files, or enter notes directly onto the piano-roll grid.
- Type lyrics beneath each note in English, Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, or Spanish.
- Select a licensed AI voice library and customize timbre, dynamic vocal modes (chest, belt, breathy), and pitch curves.
- Preview adjustments with real-time live waveform rendering and export finished vocal stems or mix directly in the DAW.
Practical fit
Who should use Synthesizer V?
Songwriting and Demo Production
Rapidly test lyrics and vocal melodies in different vocal ranges and send realistic reference tracks to human singers to learn.
Backing Vocals and Harmonies
Import Melodyne-generated or recorded MIDI to build multi-layered backing vocals, choirs, and rehearsal tracks without booking studio vocalists.
Multilingual Song Adaptation
Localize vocal tracks by rendering existing melodies in up to six supported languages using cross-lingual voice models.
Commercial Vocal Tracks
Produce lead and background vocal stems for commercial releases under Dreamtonics' commercial-use license.
Editorial assessment
Pros and limitations
Where it is strong
- Perpetual license model without recurring subscription fees
- Broad plugin compatibility covering VST3, AU, AAX, and ARA across major DAWs
- Ethically sourced voice banks created from compensated, consenting professional singers
- Offline synthesis ensures session privacy and studio reliability after activation
- Cross-lingual engine allows voices to sing fluently in six different languages
Where to be careful
- Voice databases are sold separately and add to total system cost
- Requires manual melodic and lyric input rather than generative prompt-to-audio creation
- Linux support is limited to legacy Studio Pro and not listed for Studio 2 Pro

Frequently asked
Synthesizer V FAQ
How does Synthesizer V differ from AI song generators like Suno or Udio?+
Unlike text-to-song generators that yield completed audio files from text descriptions, Synthesizer V is a precision vocal instrument. It requires users to write or import MIDI notes and lyrics, granting surgical control over pitch curves, phoneme duration, breathiness, and dynamics inside standard digital audio workstations.
Is an ongoing subscription required to use Synthesizer V?+
No. Synthesizer V Studio Pro and Studio 2 Pro are sold as perpetual one-time purchase licenses with free updates within the same major version. There are no mandatory monthly or annual subscription fees.
Can audio produced with Synthesizer V be used commercially?+
Yes. Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro and official Dreamtonics voice libraries include commercial use licenses, allowing creators to release, distribute, and monetize songs made with the software according to the specific voice terms.
Does Synthesizer V require an active internet connection to synthesize vocals?+
No. Once a purchased voice is activated, all AI vocal synthesis runs locally on your computer. Your project data is not uploaded to remote servers. Internet connectivity is only needed during trial usage for license verification and cloud processing.
What plugin formats and operating systems are supported?+
Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro works on Windows 10/11 and macOS 11 or newer (Intel and Apple Silicon). It runs as a standalone program and as a VST3, AU, AAX, and ARA plugin across major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools, Studio One, and REAPER.
Are educational discounts available?+
Yes. Dreamtonics provides educational licenses for verified students, teachers, and schools at a 50% discount off the standard retail price upon inquiry.
