I would have been fooled into thinking she was a real human! wow!!! 
I know doing the “she sounds like a mix of xyz synth” has been done to death, but to me she sounds like a more dynamic Stardust! Her voice type has definitely been done before but she has a few cool things that set her apart.
Oh wow she’s really amongst the peak svai. Manifesting for meito to release bc we will be using her
yeah we definitely have some voices a lot like her. but goddamn she sounds GOOD... holy crap, if i hadnt been told she was vocsynth i probably wouldnt have thought it
SHE SOUND AMAZING
I hope they release her in the future
The first vsynth private vocal, I feel like its been a while since theres been a private synthloid

I really like her voice it's pretty :) not super unique among the repertoire but I feel she sounds way more human than most??? like she sounds like a person not a program singing. Also the vtuber video is a choice idk what kind but choices lol
I don't understand the point of private Synth Vs though? It's not like a private Vocaloid where there is a distinct engine noise you can't get anywhere else, because there is no engine noise. So why pay so much and go through the effort to produce a perfect replica of your voice only you can use? Just... sing??? Maybe if she were going to lose her voice soon I'd get it.
im curious as to why the 'engine noise' of a private vocaloid would be a reason for someone to want/have a private vocaloid? like i dont understand why that would be a reason for it to exist over one that sounds real. maybe on the outside people could tell its a synth then but by no means can i imagine private vocaloid going into doing so because it... sounds like a synth? im confused by this statement.
just because a synth v sounds realistic doesnt really mean its suddenly pointless for there to be a private bank. seeing as this is under some company/group with other vtubers it seems like a way for them to easily utlize a vocal synth for a project that will likely include loads of music covers and possibly original songs. there are all kinds of reasons it may be far more useful to have a bank rather than a real singer. it has many capabilities that a real person wouldnt have, and it being "realistic" can be a big plus if theyre intent happens to be for the vtuber to come off real or be seen as realistic... because itll never "die". much like any private vocaloid its not something they need to sell as its their own character and/or project. even more useful they can have the original voice provider simply talk when she needs, and not worry at all about availability to sing or any other bumps that may come with a real person. and no offense to the company specifically, but companies tend to like being as cost effective as possible and something like this could actually be good at that too (we dont know the costs of private banks, but i imagine its not something like what we have seen for something like Solaria because that also included loads of other things for its public release. the long term investment on this may be very good)
i dont think engine noise has any relevance to private vocal synth banks... as fans, and esp as fans who have seen the realism of AI, i know lots of people find some use and charm in the engine sounds but i dont think any private vocaloids are being made in our current age of actively thinking 'im making a private vocaloid for the engine sounds, because it sounds obviously synth'. as far as i have seen over time the appeal of voc synth is how it has started to sound real (and people were thinking this way back when private vocaloids were popping up actively, despite us looking back to see they didnt sound as real as now), and how vocsynth can be a replacement for a real singer for those who need it. from a company standpoint that is a pretty big plus.

Many people enjoy the characteristic sound of Vocaloids and would like to hear what they sound like as a Vocaloid. I don't see what's confusing about it. While it may not be the majority, it's still a pretty common sentiment to specifically like the sound of concatenative engines.
I don't remember a single person saying about Meaw or Akikoroid-chan that she sounds so real or whatever. Just them being compared to other Vocaloids. So no, I don't think realism was the appeal at the time.
I think having a synth can be easier to manage as a vtuber company like you just need to make her and then you have her. You don't need the singer to come in years from now. It also gives her that virtual ai persona legitimacy. I think the only really private vocaloid that was banking on being a vocaloid was akikoroid mainly because it was riding the vocaloid tend on Nico Nico.
Honestly I can kinda see the appeal of private SynthVs, imagine record labels still being able to use a voice of a deceased singer that was signed under them for fan concert purposes, imagine VTuber companies still being able to use their terminated VTuber's voice (although you could argue how ethical that is) without the typical Vocaloid engine noise
from a fan pov i certainly understand the appeal of wanting to hear some voices that do sound synthesized, but from the private use of vocal synths by companies is where i dont think that is relevant-- to the people making the voicebanks in the first place is what i mean. why would there be no appeal in vocal synthesizers because they sound more real...? whether fans on the outside say it sounds real or not real and whether or not that effects their interest doesn't really matter. companies have all sorts of uses to create a private voice + a character with these new tools. and imo i think theres even more appeal if they can pass as real

Amateur singers, people who might not have the time, people who'd like to ethically outsource their voices to maybe a few producers (I wish Grimes made a SynthV instead..Yuki Kaji also has a similar motive) instead of anyone with the money for SynthV/a vocal synth, for some it might be easier to tune a vocal synth than in something like Melodyne (especially if you want a unique timbre and not just basic pitch correction + formant shifting)
Also, cross-lingual could give someone the ability to sing in languages they can't in real life, I'd love to see someone do that one day!
Meito has done some talking streams too. Seems like the VA is using a filter or something?
I don't think she's talking with SynthV, but likely something like Vocoflex or a realtime converter. There definitely is a noise to her, and the converter messes up sometimes and creates strange tendencies that a real person wouldn't have. I think it's interesting that this character seemingly is managed entirely by someone who is not her VA, while the other characters are real singers/VAs.
I think it'll be pretty hard to play apex while trying to talk with synth v LOL
