Create Realistic AI Vocals in Cubase with Synthesizer V Studio 2
Okay… this one is wild.
We’ve seen virtual instruments do incredible things over the years, but this might just be the biggest leap yet in vocal production. Whether you're a singer or not, there's now a way to bring stunning, emotionally expressive vocals into your projects—without even stepping up to a mic.
Meet Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro by Dreamtonics. It’s an AI-powered vocal synthesis software that lets you control nearly every element of a vocal performance: notes, lyrics, articulation, even breath sounds. And yes—it works straight inside Cubase.
What Is Synthesizer V Studio 2?
It’s not just a text-to-speech tool. This is a next-gen singing engine built on real vocal samples recorded by real singers. You can choose from multiple voices, each with different vocal modes—like soft, bold, falsetto, or powerful—to match the vibe of your track.
How to Use Synthesizer V in Cubase
You can run Synthesizer V as a standalone app or as a VST plugin inside Cubase. Personally, I prefer the plugin route since it integrates right into my production flow.
1. Add It as a Virtual Instrument
Load Synth V into a MIDI track, just like you would any other VST instrument.
2. Import MIDI or Create Notes Manually
You can write your melody directly in Synth V, or drag MIDI from Cubase into it. Either way, it’s fast and intuitive.
3. Choose a Voice and Write Lyrics
Click into the piano roll to start typing your lyrics. Use the Tab key to move between notes—it’s that simple. You can even assign different voices to different sections or harmonies.
4. Shape the Vocal Emotion
Each voice comes with built-in vocal modes (like warm, powerful, or clear). You can automate these on a note-by-note basis using Synth V’s automation lanes. Want more breathiness or a softer tone on a specific word? You’ve got full control.
5. Add Breaths and Human Touches
Synth V doesn’t auto-generate breaths—but you can add them manually by typing BR as a note. Then use the timing and strength controls to shape how natural it feels.
6. Use AI Retakes for Variations
Need alternate takes? The AI Retakes feature generates subtle variations in timing, tone, and delivery—just like asking a real singer for a second take. Great for creating layered harmonies or more realistic backing vocals.
7. Import Real Vocals to Build Harmonies
You can also import real audio into Synth V. Just bounce your vocal to audio in Cubase, extract the notes, and then assign those to a new voice for a natural-sounding harmony or layered effect.
Is This Just a Gimmick?
Not at all. If you’re someone who loves to write music but struggles with recording vocals—or you just want to experiment with harmonies and textures—this is a serious production tool.
It won’t write lyrics or compose your melody. But if you’ve got the creative part down, it’ll bring your ideas to life in a way that sounds surprisingly human.
Final Thoughts
Synthesizer V Studio 2 blew me away. The amount of expression you can dial in is just next level. Whether you're sketching vocal ideas, producing demos, or adding backing vocals, it’s worth exploring—especially if you're working solo or producing for clients.
