Hatsune Miku NT Announced
Today on Christmas Day, 2019, Crypton Future Media announced that Hatsune Miku NT (which stands for “New Type”) will be released in summer 2020!
About Hatsune Miku NT
From the official SONICWIRE website:
“Hatsune Miku NT (New Type)” is a Hatsune Miku package that is a combination of newly developed “singing voice expression technology / dedicated voice library / software interface / voice effector”. The advanced vocal editor “Piapro Studio” integrates a variety of newly developed functions. Just by typing in lyrics and melody while selecting an expression style, you can control the song direction and set the basics of singing such as sharpness of voice, staccato / legato, pitch movement, etc. Combining the brushed-up voice library with the newly developed voice effector, it is possible to express everything from Hatsune Miku’s pretty singing voice, emotional sighing voice to angry voice, rattle voice, and death growl voice, all while maintaining smooth articulation. You can also introduce decorative pronunciations with one touch, allowing you to customize the singing voice in a very detailed way!
Although “Hatsune Miku NT” is scheduled to be released in late August 2020, the prototype version which includes functions that have completed development will be release in mid-March 2020, avilable exclusively for those who have made a reservation.
This could very well be the new version of Hatsune Miku that Crypton Future Media announced during Magical Mirai 2019 when they held a presentation about their move away from Yamaha and the VOCALOID engine. In fact, the only mention of VOCALOID on the SONICWIRE webpage is in the following warnings:
* “Hatsune Miku NT” prototype version includes “Piapro Studio” standalone version only.
* To import VOCALOID track is not possible. Please note that some specifications may be different between prototype version and major release version.
Demo Songs
Short versions of three songs made with Hatsune Miku NT’s prototype version are now available for listening.

Crypton promises that producers will be able to create high-quality sounds with Hatsune Miku NT more easily than ever, and that piapro studio will be updated to enable that.
