Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., is a software product developed by Internet Co., Ltd. for the Vocaloid software. Gackpoid's voice is sampled from Japanese singer and actor Gackt. The mascot of the software is named Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., after Gackt's alias name. Gackpo's names are sometimes spelt as Kamui and Gakupo.

Development

Gackpoid was developed by Internet Co., Ltd. using Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2 synthesizer software as their first venture into the voice synthesizer industry.[1] The initial version was released on July 31, 2008. The name "Gackpoid", meaning "Gackt-like Vocaloid", was chosen by Gackt himself during the voice recording process.[2] Camui Gackpo, the software's mascot, was designed by manga artist Kentaro Miura (notable for manga Berserk) and chosen by Internet Co. from a pool of several competing designs.[1][3]

His vocals were one of the Vocaloid 2 male vocals, which were used in the creation of VY2.[4]

Additional software

V3 Gackpoid, an update to the original Gackpoid using the Vocaloid 3 synthesizer software, was released on July 13, 2012.[5] It was released as a package with three different vocal tones: Native (the basic voice), Power, and Whisper.[5][6]

On July 25, 2013, Internet Co., Ltd. announced that Mac OS X versions of all of their software, including Gackpoid, were in development using the Vocaloid Editor for Cubase NEO software for Macintosh.[7][8] The OS X versions were rolled out as a free download for all registered users in October 2013, though Internet Co. advised users to choose only one version—Mac or Windows—due to only one license being available per user.[9][10]

On December 2, 2014, Noboru Murakami, president of Internet Co., Ltd., stated that an update of Gackpoid from Vocaloid 3 to Vocaloid 4 was forthcoming, but declined to specify release dates or schedules.[11] Gackpoid V4, an update to the voice library using the Vocaloid 4 synthesizer software, was released on April 30, 2015. It added growl samples to each of the three voice banks and contained general improvements to the V3 program.[12]

Both Vocaloid 3 (once imported into the newer engine) and Vocaloid 4 versions of the software have access to the new Vocaloid 4 "Cross-Synthesis" system, though the vocals can only cross with their respective engine versions.

Noboru had expressed hope to one day make a Gackpoid English.[13] He noted, however, English vocals could only occur if they were profitable.[14]

V3 Gackpoid and VY2v3 were also the focus of vol.4 of the Vocaloid-P data series.

Characteristics

Gackpo is designed to resemble a samurai clad in a jinbaori, a type of kimono which was used as a battle surcoat along with parts of traditional armor, while carrying a katana.[3]

Contest

On June 12, 2009, Nico Nico Douga announced a "Gackpoid Contest", in partnership with Dwango and CELL, to encourage song creators to use Gackpoid for the creation of quality, original songs.[16] Gackt had previously hinted at the contest on June 10 during a Nico Nico live broadcast challenge, where he announced that he would not appear in another broadcast until viewers created "spirited" music using the software in an upcoming competition.[17] Competitors were asked to attach a "Gackpoid Contest" tag to their submitted videos to compete in the contest, which accepted submissions until the end of August. Finalist entries would be awarded 100,000 yen (US$1,220) each.[17] Gackt promised viewers that he would choose one or more of the winning songs to cover for eventual recording and release.[18]

On December 15, Nico Nico Douga aired a live broadcast announcing ten finalists for the contest, which would win "Excellence Prizes".[18] The official winning entry was declared to be Episode.0, by mathru/Kanimiso-P, during the "NicoNico Daikaigi 2011 in Taiwan" event, where Gackt announced that Episode.0 and another finalist, natsu-P's Paranoid Doll, had been covered by him and would be released together as his thirty-ninth single.[19] Kanimiso-P was awarded 300,000 yen (US$3,660) and the nine other Excellence Prize winners 100,000 yen.[20] The single was released on July 13, 2011.[21]
