![]() ![]() By that time I already had some song sketches in Russian, but Lelik didn’t speak Russian at all. Our second meeting happened in New York in October 2005 at Music Player Live!, in Bil Bryant’s (from PowerFX) booth. I was surprised by his voice and got the idea to make an album with him. I first heard Lelik (Leon) in January 2004 in Anaheim, on the NAMM seminar, accompanied by Hideki Kenmochi (Yamaha) and Ed Stratton (Zero-G). Here’s a brief history of the project explained by the creator: ![]() In 2006 a CD called A Place in the Sun was release featuring English and Russian song sung by Vocaloid Leon. ![]() But despite all these complaints that didn’t stop the two programs from winning 2005 Electronic Musician Editor’s Choice Award in the category ‘Most Innovative Product’. And while Lola sounded much clearer people said that her voice was too deep making her sound like a man. Consumer’s usually complained that Leon’s voice sounded muffled or to high pitch to the point that he sounded like a woman. Of course being the first Vocaloids that of course meant they weren’t perfect. Both of there voices came from professional singer who can not be named. Leon was a virtual male vocalist while Lola was a female’s. The products were powered by the Vocaloid software, under license from Yamaha, and were release by UK company Zero-G Limited. In JanuLeon and Lola were the first Vocaloids to ever be released. ![]()
