Vocaloid 5

Vocaloid 5 is a singing voice synthesizer and successor to Vocaloid 4 in the Vocaloid series. It was succeeded by Vocaloid 6.

On July 2, 2018, Yamaha announced that both the official Vocaloid website and shop would be temporarily shut down for maintenance on July 12, 2018, with several Vocaloid products scheduled for discontinuation. On the day of the maintenance, information on upcoming non-Yamaha vocal Haruno Sora was leaked through a preorder listing; the package was listed as an add-on for the then-unannounced Vocaloid 5. Several hours later, once the maintenance had been completed, Yamaha relaunched the Vocaloid website, officially revealing and releasing Vocaloid 5 at the same time.

Vocaloid 5 features a redesigned interface that has been described as "significantly more modern" than that of previous versions. It is the first release of Vocaloid to be exclusively sold as a bundle; all purchases include four default voicebanks - Amy, Chris, Kaori, and Ken. These voicebanks share a wide variety of preset audio samples, vocal samples, and singing styles, in both English and Japanese. Vocaloid 5 also offers finer control over many vocal functions; it includes several audio effects, editors, and parameters to manipulate output in ways that traditionally required the use of additional programs.

Vocaloid 5 requires a 64-bit operating system. Vocaloid 2 voicebanks are no longer officially supported, though voicebanks from Vocaloid 3 and newer are able to be used. Cross-synthesis (XSY) and job plug-ins do not function in Vocaloid 5.

The Vocaloid Editor for Cubase was updated to version 4.5 with the release of Vocaloid 5.

Amy is an English voicebank released as an integrated part of Vocaloid 5 on July 12, 2018. Her voice has been described as "expressive" and "versatile".

Chris is an English voicebank released as an integrated part of Vocaloid 5 on July 12, 2018. His voice has been described as able to sing from "delicate, soft bass" to "powerful, sustained high tones".

This voicebank is a minor update to the Cyber Diva package. It was released on July 12, 2018.
