SOLARIA is an English native AI vocalist that provides a professional quality singer for your projects at any time. With user control over all aspects of the melody and detailed parameters to control various characteristics of the voice, SOLARIA is a high quality singer with near infinite options.
After installing Synthesizer V SOLARIA, you can access a professional quality vocalist for your work - even without an internet connection!
SOLARIA's voice source is Broadway trained singer, songwriter, and pop recording artist Emma Rowley. Pursuing her craft has led her to performing in many exciting places including multiple Broadway stages in NYC (LuPone Gypsy in 2007 and 2008, Bye Bye Birdie in 2009) as well as twice performing as a featured performer at Carnegie Hall, singing original music at Nashville’s famous Bluebird Cafe, and fronting the jazz band at the historic Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, MI.
Try before you buy - using SOLARIA Lite!
The Lite version of SOLARIA is a free download that you can use to try out SOLARIA before purchasing the full version. The Lite version is a low-quality, feature-reduced version that lets you try out SOLARIA's voice.
The Lite voice database requires either Synthesizer V Studio Basic, a free download on Dreamtonics' website, or Synthesizer V Studio Pro, which can be purchased from the Dreamtonics store, to function.
Lite Version Usage Agreement
The Lite version cannot be used commercially, and any public uploads using the Lite voice must attribute the vocal as "SOLARIA Lite" prominently in the title, description, and associated caption or video.
Demonstration Songs
Erode (unit.0)
SOLARIA's most recent solo demonstration song - the debut of her vocal modes feature! (For Synthesizer V Studio Pro users only)
CYCLES (ODDEEO)
A demonstration that pushes SOLARIA to her absolute limits - without using vocal modes! "CYCLES" is an expressive masterpiece by ODDEEO that conveys emotion extremely well.
If You Are An Echo (nostraightanswer)
A more mellow piece featuring ASTERIAN as a duet partner to SOLARIA, nostraightanswer's "If You Are An Echo" served as the introduction of our bass vocalist ASTERIAN and primarily uses SOLARIA's softer vocal modes.
Dawn (Circus)
SOLARIA's first original demo song, in "Dawn" Circus shows SOLARIA's capability across her entire vocal range in the very earliest version of the voice database.
Untied Laces (Meltberry)
A demonstration song from Meltberry that features SOLARIA singing alongside a human singer to show the realism of the software. In this short version, lines sung by SOLARIA are shown in white, and Meltberry's lines are in yellow.
Aura (GHOST)
GHOST's usage of SOLARIA in "Aura" represents a stylized implementation without aiming for perfect realism, achieving an uncanny and unique tone for this folk horror inspired piece.
Our Universe (Flanger Moose)
This demonstration from Flanger Moose shows the most common use case for SOLARIA - as a vocal part of an electronic composition! This piece was situated right in the middle of SOLARIA's ideal range in her initial software release version, and shows her clearest tone.
User Works

-
If I buy SOLARIA, can I make her sing on commercially released projects?Yes! By purchasing SOLARIA, you gain a license that allows you to use her voice commercially. These vocals can either be attributed to "SOLARIA" or left unattributed. This license extends to physical music releases, streaming services, and online sales. You can review SOLARIA's full license agreement here.
-
Is SOLARIA only able to sing in English?While SOLARIA is only configured for English language usage, the Synthesizer V Studio Pro editor allows AI voices like SOLARIA to sing in Japanese and Chinese as well! This feature is limited to the paid version of Synthesizer V Studio, which can be purchased on the Dreamtonics store. Synthesizer V also allows users to edit note pronunciations based on individual vowel and consonant sounds, and so other languages similar in sound to English can be approximated by skilled users. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee quality of pronunciation in any other language.
-
Does SOLARIA have a trial version?Yes! You can download the Lite version of SOLARIA here. Please note: As with all Synthesizer V Lite databases, the lite version of SOLARIA may not be used commercially in any way. Also, users of the lite database must indicate in the upload title or prominently in the description/associated text that they used "SOLARIA Lite"

Is SOLARIA an AI or Standard Synthesizer V library? What is the difference?SOLARIA is an AI Synthesizer V library. While a standard voice is recorded as brief phrases sung at a static pitch, SOLARIA is based on entire song samples from her voice provider Emma Rowley. This means that she is able to capture unique tone differences based on a singing context, which can greatly increase realism!
-
How do I buy a physical version of SOLARIA?The only way to purchase a physical copy of SOLARIA was by pledging to the Indiegogo campaign in the summer of 2021, or by purchasing the limited leftover sales held alongside ASTERIAN's release. SOLARIA's physical edition can only be obtained now by winning specific contests held for our vocals. The current opportunity for SOLARIA's physical edition is to enter the ASTERIAN Eclipsed Design Contest: https://www.eclipsedsounds.com/post/asterian-eclipsed-design-contest
-
Can I make SOLARIA sound less realistic?SOLARIA may have been created as a realistic AI singer option, but it is always possible to reduce realism! Some of these methods are implemented inside of Synthesizer V, such as leaving the parameters unchanged or adjusting pitch bends to have more sharp transitions, but applying post-production effects using VST effects in your DAW such as autotune or a vocoder can also lessen the realism!
-
Can I make SOLARIA sound like her original test voice?While the new voice is much clearer & stronger, SOLARIA's test voice tone is maintained in her low notes! This is because the test library was recorded in a low register. With some parameter adjustments, it is possible to emulate the original timbre across the whole range.
-
Why does SOLARIA have a character image representing her?Having a character to represent the vocal is somewhat of a tradition in vocal synthesis spaces, and we wanted to continue on in that vein. Additionally, having an associated image of a person makes it more immediately clear that the software is a virtual singer, and gives some idea as to what the voice might sound like before even listening. SOLARIA's character is also free to use commercially once you purchase the voice database.
-
Why was SOLARIA's name changed from "SOLARIS"?"During the crowdfund, SOLARIA was known as "SOLARIS"! The change to SOLARIA was decided on for a variety of reasons, but the primary reasons were to avoid the abundance of other characters, IPs, and products named SOLARIS, and to more quickly evoke the idea of a singer on name alone ("SOLARIA" being a portmanteau of "solar" and "aria"). This change did not affect much in the project, and helps SOLARIA stand out more as a singer and digital instrument product!
-
What is Synthesizer V?Synthesizer V is a digital vocal instrument created by Dreamtonics that allows users to create a melody, input lyrics, and have computer software sing it! SOLARIA is the vocal library that we developed for it, and she can be used in Synthesizer V Studio Basic and Synthesizer V Studio Pro.
-
Where do I download Synthesizer V Studio Basic?Synthesizer V Studio Basic - the free version of Synthesizer V Studio, can be downloaded here, at Dreamtonics' official distribution.
-
Do I need to buy Synthesizer V to use SOLARIA, ASTERIAN, or SAROS?While Synthesizer V Studio does have a Pro version with more features that our vocals were designed to work quite well with, there is a free version of Synthesizer V Studio, called Synthesizer V Studio Basic, that you can use our vocals in. This version is limited to 3 vocal tracks & does not allow use of the vocal modes feature, or usage of their voice databases in any other languages through cross-lingual synthesis - these features are limited to Synthesizer V Studio Pro. You can download Synthesizer V Studio Basic here, or purchase Synthesizer V Studio Pro here.
-
Where do I buy Synthesizer V Studio Pro?Synthesizer V Studio Pro can be purchased from the Dreamtonics store.

How do I access an invoice for my purchase?Invoices are generated by request for each purchase. If you need one for tax or business reasons, please contact us.
-
Why is the company named "Eclipsed Sounds"?Eclipsed Sounds refers to the idea that the "sounds" we create as a company, meaning our digital vocalists, are made to be "Eclipsed" by the musical talent & skill of users! One of the things that we love the most about vocal synthesis is the ability for a songwriter using it to out-shine their main vocalist - something unheard of in many areas of the music industry. This became the inspiration for our name.
-
What did Eclipsed Sounds do before creating SOLARIA?Many years before SOLARIA, Eclipsed Sounds was a fan-merchandise company specializing in peripheral merchandise for other vocal synthesis characters. However, these activities ended long before work on SOLARIA began.
