== Description ==

Voice Sequence files are used to store musical and note data for the VOCALOID2 engine. It is based on a combination of the [[MIDI]] and [[INI]] formats.

== Information ==

While not yet fully documented, some information is known about a number of sections of the Voice Sequence format.

=== Common ===

Contains information about the application and synthesis engine, with known properties being:

* '''Version''' - the version number of the synthesis engine used to create the file
* '''Name''' - the name of the track
* '''Color''' - the background colour of the track button
* '''DynamicsMode'''
* '''PlayMode'''

=== Master ===

This section is currently only known to contain one property, whose function is not currently understood

* '''PreMeasure'''

=== Mixer ===

This section contains information about the attributes of the synthesizer mixer. Known properties are:

* '''MasterFeder'''
* '''MasterPanpot''' - dictates how much panning (the balance between left and right stereo channels) should be applied to the master track
* '''MasterMute''' - it is assumed that this should mute the entire master track, although this is currently unverified
* '''OutputMode'''
* '''Tracks''' - the number of tracks contained in a given sequence
* '''Feder#'''
* '''Panpot#''' - as with MasterPanpot, dictates the panning to be applied to a given track. The # is the index (zero-based) of the track to which this property refers
* '''Mute#''' - as with MasterMute, it is assumed that this mutes a given track (unverified), with the # again specifying to which track this refers
* '''Solo#''' - sets solo mode on a given track. If this is set to 1, all other tracks (except those with this also set to 1) should be muted

=== EventList ===

This section contains the Vocaloid commands that are being sent. Its properties consist of a list of numbers corresponding to times at which events should be issued, each of which is assigned a value in the form ''ID#XXXX'', where XXXX is the zero-based index of a given event group.

=== ID#XXXX ===

These sections contain information about Vocaloid commands, with the properties varying depending on the value of the ''Type'' property. Known types and properties are:

==== Singer ====

* '''IconHandle''' - a reference to a further section containing more information on the specified singer

==== Anote ====

* '''Length''' - the length of a note (the unit for this is currently unknown)
* '''Note#''' - the number of a given note (integer values and how they correspond to musical notes are currently unknown)
* '''Dynamics'''
* '''PMBendDepth''' - portamento bend depth, i.e. the amount by which to pitch-bend the current note
* '''PMBendLength''' - portamento bend length, i.e. the length of a pitch-bend for the current note
* '''PMbPortamentoUse'''
* '''DEMdecGainRate'''
* '''DEMaccent''' - apparently refers to the accent value of the Note Expression property, although none of these terms are explained anywhere else (presumably refers to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accent_(music) | musical accents]] in some way)
* '''LyricHandle''' - a reference to a further section containing more information on the lyric properties of the current note
* '''VibratoHandle''' - a reference to a further section containing more information on the vibrato properties of the current note

=== h#XXXX ===

These sections contain information referenced from other properties (the various ''XXXXHandle'' properties).

==== IconHandle ====

* '''IconID''' - contains the unique ID of the current singer
* '''IDS''' - the name given to the current singer ("Miku", for example)
* '''Original''' - the original [[MIDI]] Program Change command issued to the current singer
* '''Caption'''
* '''Length'''
* '''Language'''
* '''Program''' - the current [[MIDI]] Program Change command issued to the current singer

==== LyricHandle ====

* '''L0''' - this is a comma-separated list of five values, not all of which are known. What is currently known is that the first value is the lyric and the second the phoneme.

==== VibratoHandle ====

* '''IconID'''
* '''IDS''' - as with IconHandle above, this is the name given to the current vibrato setting ("normal", for example)
* '''Original'''
* '''Caption'''
* '''Length''' - the length of the vibrato
* '''StartDepth''' - the starting vibrato depth
* '''DepthBPNum'''
* '''StartRate''' - the starting vibrato rate
* '''RateBPNum'''
