Is it possible to switch singers within a part?

No. You can specify only a single singer for one part. If you want to switch singers, you can create multiple parts and assign a different singer to each part. In Cubase, you can create multiple parts in a single track. This allows you to assign multiple singers to a single track. However, the waiting time configured in the "Preferences" window is essential to synthesize consonants. If you want to assign different singers, you must insert the waiting time between the end time for the first singer and the start time for the second singer. If notes exist within the range of the waiting time, the notes are not voiced due to delayed synthesis. If two parts to which different singers are assigned are adjacent to each other, it is best to create those parts in separate tracks. When a single singer is assigned to different parts, any neighboring notes can be voiced normally.

Some notes are not played during playback.

Did you set a long "Waiting Time"? The "VOCALOID4 Inst" requires a waiting time before playback starts in order to process consonant synthesis. Therefore, notes that fall within the range of the waiting time might not be voiced. The same error might occur if the note falls within the range of the waiting time from the export position during audio mixdown, and within the range of the waiting time from the start of a part when freezing. In such cases, set lower values for both "Waiting Time" and "Pre-Send Time" in the "Preferences" settings. Consonant synthesis also requires a pre-send time. A longer pre-send time will produce clearer consonants. For the recommended settings, see the default values in the user manual.

Performance is gradually slowing down.

Are VOCALOID parts being played on multiple tracks? Excess load is being placed on your computer's memory. Either freeze the "VOCALOID4 Inst", or turn off VOCALOID4 Insts on tracks that are not being used. * It can be helpful to display "VOCALOID4 Synthesis Load" while you work, to view the load placed on your computer. If the computer continues to be subject to excess load, the VOCALOID4 Inst will be automatically unmounted to maintain optimum performance.
