Oh holy Mozes. Thank you SO MUCH for pointing me to this site. Appreciate it so much!
Yay, I didnāt know about this either, superb! Claire is a godsend, SynthVās version of @Lillie_Harris ā¦

Having worked with Synthesizer V and four male voice databases for a couple of days now, I can attest to the power of this plugin within Dorico.
Here is the completed opening number of the Kansas City theatrical commission; piano, bass, drums, vocal solo, and TTBB chorus all playing from Dorico.
I admit to being gobsmacked by this technology.
Many thanks to the fine people who offered so many helpful pointers. Got me up to speed quickly.
Dang, I hope the list of new things Iād like to purchase donāt keep accumulating at the rate they are this month.
Just a quick update for the SynthV afficionados around here: The Pluginās latest beta can apparently import midi by way of drag and drop! Havenāt tried it yet, but maybe it works out of Play mode?
Edit: No, of course it doesnāt, I keep mixing up Cubase with Doricoās Play Modeā¦

Latest beta now supports ARA and can read in existing vocal note AND lyric data from audio events.
Itās mindblowing what this delivers!
I can concur that this is really science fiction!
Just tried it the other day, and if you have a nice clean vocal track, this will extract A LOT of MIDI information and seamlessly outputs the rendered SynthV output.
As an ARA plugin, it will even mute the original audio, so at first I thought it hadnāt worked properly, until I realized that I was already listening to SynthVās output!
I really catches everything the original singer did, every little idiosyncrasy and inflection. Itās mind-blowing indeed.
And then you switch to a male singer and change all the āhimā and āhisā to āherā.

I tried rapping in the mic and letting it process that, put solaria voice pack on and set her to rap and it was incredible - she sounded better than me! lol 
I canāt believe the words it picks up, thereās quite a misses in there, but this now makes SynthV a real music production tool!
With ARA, the fact that you can align vocal sections to blocks of audio also means that you can write a chorus vocal and repeat it, or when you move the section SynthV moves with it - itās really next level integration, and itās amazed me completely!
Itās also very scary at the same time! lol
I agree! I have a lot of fun with Dorico and Synthesizer V. I downloaded the last Synth V update, but I havenāt tried it yet because I was unsure if Dorico supports ARA 2. But it sounds like you are making it work. Iāll have to give it a go. My most recent experimental project with Dorico and Synth V was a SATB + piano score of Glenn Gouldās āSo You Want To Write a Fugue?ā completed before the Synth V upgrade. Copying and pasting lyrics from Dorico to Synth V worked very well, with the feature to shift all lyrics in Synth V being extremely helpful and necessary because of its different way of writing multisyllabic words and melismas.
To be clear, Dorico is not yet ARA2 compatible, Iām using Cubase for experimentingā¦
Just purchased Synthesizer V, bundled with Vocoflex (brand new!) and 2 voices. Really intriguing and definitely fast for making demos.
Vocoflex looks amazing, but havenāt had a chance to test it out.
Dreamtonics is offering 20% off āuntil August 6āā¦ (never sure what āuntilā implies, or which time zone, in sale offeringsā¦)
Go here.
Choral arrangements. 16+ voice Synth V renders.
If thereās something three levels up from āgame changer,ā Synth V is it.
Thinking about getting Synthesizer V for making some classical/hymnal choral music mockup/reharsal tracks but not sure if it will work fine for these genres or it would be only good for pop music.
And if I am targeting mainly classical/hymnal choral music, what singers/voices should I buy that might work best?
If anyone has some experinces for the purpose like me, it would be great if you can share your suggestions. Thank you!
Many of their voices are rather flexible, since one can adjust the timbre, breathiness, and the like on a side panel. Some of the newest and best (although more expensive) voices are made by third parties: Asturian, Weina, Saros (a female but with an interesting tenor sound).
It pays to listen to the samples. Here is something (unpolished) using Asturian, Weina, and Sheena.

Dreamtonicās newest tool, Vocaflex looks like it ought to greatly expand the timbre capabilities available when working with Synthesizer V.
Itās on sale, at 20% off, until the end of August.
Hello David! Question: How do you run Synthesizer V in Dorico 5.1? Do I have to buy the Pro Edition to use it as a VST-Plugin or is it also working with the free Version of Synthesizer V? Thanks and best wishes!
Synthesizer V within Dorico is literally a mind-blowing dream come true.
Yes, you should use the Pro version, as youāll have access to 16 individual SynthV channels in the Dorico mixer.
Caveats: SynthV does not function like other VSTs. Dorico doesnāt āplayā SynthV like an instrument. SynthV runs in sync with Dorico, but maintains its own files, channels, and specifics. Input from the Synthesizer V Forum and Facebook Group will a huge help.
Best use of SynthV: from Dorico, export a Tempo Track. Rename it TempoMap. Then export a full MIDI file of your score. Within the Synth V plugin you import the TempoMap, and āImport MIDI As Tracksā. That will both sync your file to Dorico, and allow you to choose the vocal tracks you want to import. For instance, if your score is SATB, piano, bass, and drums, you import just the four vocal parts [youāll need to have them on separate staves in Dorico, rather than two-parts-to-a-stave]. Assign a voice database to each voice part. Once youāve added lyrics, you can duplicate the individual voices and assign a new singer to each track, giving you more of a group sound.
Hi David,
Iām seriously considering purchasing Synthesizer V Studio Pro 2 and was wondering if this latest version supports importing MIDI files with embedded lyrics (specifically exported from Dorico 6)?
Any insights or experiences you can share, especially with regard to workflow, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Roy
