How to Change a Vocaloid Pitch

Yamaha's Vocaloid synthesizer allows you to simulate a human singing voice. You can choose one of several distinct voices, type in the lyrics you want the synthesizer to "sing" and use the piano roll interface to write and play the melody. Vocaloid even allows you to combine several voices together to produce a chorus effect. If you want to try out different melody lines, you can change the pitches of notes in the Vocaloid interface.
