Tips from JellyBearTV on how to use Solaria:

  • Using volume knobs in synthv seems to cause the audio to clip, so turning it down below 0 db seems to help.
  • Use light preset on verse and solid for chorus, the presets change how shouty or quiet Solaria will be.
  • You can use the pencil tool to edit the pitch
  • Use - to keep the tone going on another note, this lets you glide between pitches
  • You can use br at the end of notes
  • Recommends not connecting br to the first note when used at the beginning
  • You can get SynthV resources from here: https://resource.dreamtonics.com/download/
  • Get Solaria to sing one note, turn up the breathiness, and use Charsiesis to do scream vocals.
  • Harmonies is important with vocal synths, so layer additional vocals at different pitches like a 5th down and pan them. It adds to the humanization element; it sounds like backing vocals.
  • Using SynthV with vocoding can make it sound more human
