Porter RobinsonPorter Robinson has tapped Yamaha to create a new Po-uta voicebank for VOCALOID 6.
The voicebank is based on the effects used on his vocal from his most recent record Nurture.
Robinson has long been a user of Vocaloid and has, in his own words, "changed my life and has been a key influence for like 10 years."
In a Tweet yesterday he said, "it meant a lot to me when Sad Machine came out and i felt like , despite being an outsider of the scene, the VOCALOID community embraced it."
Vocaloid describe the Voicebank as, "the virtual vocal voicebank based on the voice of Grammy nominated American songwriter, and producer Porter Robinson."

In an interview with Vocaloid, Porter said, "Vocals are the most powerful element in music, because they convey both melody and meaning. It's an indescribably powerful combination. And variations on the human voice are extremely interesting -- some of my first exposure to electronic music was through Daft Punk, who have used the vocoder and talkbox extensively, as well as other voice-shifting techniques.
"Vocaloid was the natural next step in these technologies, and it's extremely powerful -- not just because it's a great songwriting."
