Sinsy vs Vocalize

Sinsy is a free web service that generates singing vocals from musical scores. You upload a MusicXML score, choose a vocal, and adjust settings labeled ALP, VIB, and PIT; Japanese appears as a language option. The system uses DNN- and HMM-based synthesis to model characteristics such as pitch and timbre, rather than accepting vocal input. Sinsy was developed by the Tokuda, Nankaku, and Hashimoto Laboratory. Its version history lists version 5.1 on 2026/05/01, with fixes for parameter-panel and smartphone/tablet behavior. Earlier entries record compressed MusicXML upload support in version 4.4 on 2023/12/25 and the addition of Japanese DNN vocal f01027j_dnn_beta5 in version 4.5 on 2024/12/25. The service is listed for web and Linux. Its Free online synthesis plan costs nothing. The synthesis page says using the service implies agreement to its terms of use. The about page is available in Japanese and describes the research background and version history.

Vocalize generates AI cover songs and text-to-speech using voices from its community library or voices users create. On the web, users can train a text-to-speech voice from a short audio sample or make a voice-to-voice RVC model for singing and voice swapping. The searchable library includes uploaded AI voice models and accepts RVC.pth and.index files. Vocalize says text-to-speech takes a few seconds and covers take 10 to 60 seconds; free accounts may wait in a shared queue when demand is high. New signups receive 3 credits without entering a credit card. The REST API supports speech generation, streaming, instant cloning from a 10–30 second clip, direction tags, and 80+ languages. An OpenAI-compatible endpoint can be used for existing /v1/audio/speech integrations by changing the base URL. API usage is prepaid at $0.048 per minute of generated audio plus $0.003 per request, with no subscription. Converter is listed at $9.99 a month, though the page also displays $12.99 and describes paid access as starting at $12.99/mo. Commercial use is restricted unless Vocalize approves it.
