Where Does Vocaloid Store Voicebanks and Songs?
Vocaloid keeps voicebank libraries where the installer puts them (choose at setup), with songs as .vsqx or .vpr project files wherever you save them.
Last updated
Vocaloid splits singing data two ways. Voicebanks install as libraries through their own setups into folders you confirm during install. Songs save as sequence projects wherever you put them, referencing those libraries by name.
Version compatibility runs one direction. Newer editors open older sequence formats with some features dropped, while old editors reject new files outright. That makes the editor version part of every backup, alongside installers and project folders.
Where Vocaloid stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files\VOCALOID3\voicedbdir
Voicebank libraries from versioned installers plus user saved .vsqx and .vpr songs. Newer editors open older formats with limits. Keep installers for moves.
~/Documents/Vocaloid projects (user placed)
Same split as Windows between installed libraries and user placed song files. Confirm library paths after major version upgrades.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Vocaloid voicebanks?
Keep voicebank installers plus serials, since downloads live in your shop account only while offered. Installed libraries can move with their installers, but version matched editors matter more: V6 opens older sequences with limits, never the reverse.
Where should Vocaloid projects live?
Save songs as .vsqx or .vpr in a projects folder with audio renders beside them. Voicebanks stay installed separately and reload on launch. Moving machines needs installers plus project files together.
