The art is also giving SynthV2 Teto, which by extension is giving DDLC Monika. So, by the Transitive Property, Remmant is giving DDLC Monika. I'm not sure I like this comparison, but I have to say it if nobody else will.
SynthV TONE CHROMA from Eclipsed Sounds
- Thread starter lIlI
- Start date
Ah darn, you beat me to it! I was LITERALLY just about to post this! Although, it looks like a country vocal. I don't much care for Country music, but for anyone who does I'm happy for them.
Finally: Cowboy SynthV voiced PM Seymour /s
I just realized something regarding the Tone Chroma colors. Currently we have only one voice per color, so I'm assuming that there will be more of each. but I was thinking, and I thought "What could the other voices of each color be that people would want to buy them?" Then I realized, they're probably doing two to three voices per color: one male, one female, and maybe one closer to androgynous. I'm still uncertain about the androgynous voices, seeing as we haven't had one at all in any of the Tone Chroma colors yet.
Demo and official design reveal for Jovie!
Mezzo-soprano win <3
Also, they did confirm plans to develop a feminine rock vocal in the future. But it was easy to miss since it was at the very bottom of the comment section under Remmant’s first showcase LOL. I hope there will be more androgynous voices though :)
im thrilled to have a voice that very blatantly focuses on capturing that "country accent". i know the general younger fandom doesnt seem to care about country but that sort of tone and inflection is imo way more versatile than some people realize. i think we have enough male vocals that can pass for working in those genres, but female ones not so much.
I genuinely LOVE her design, and her voice is so good!!
I don't think there's a lot of vocal synth country/folk stuff so it's great that we're getting a voicebank specifically catered for those genres!
JOVIE's voice sounds so good and her design is pretty, I'm loving the little wheat patterns on her jacket lol

Did anyone else catch the bits of lore at the start and end of the demo, where it implies Jovie works in a lab?
i have doubts on whether or not Jovie will actually make any breakthroughs. I know Country purists are not gonna be happy with Jovie at all. In my opinion, Jovie will most likely only appeal to people who like listening to Beyonce's Cowboy Carter. There's a reason why Solaria and HXVOC are the only ES voice banks that are incredibly popular.

One Youtube Comment also pointed a few things out about Jovie based on their observations on the Demo:
1. Jovie's Country accent is weak by default and requires particular kind of tuning which the SynthV 2 AI might work against at times due to no manual mode
2. some of JOVIE's pitch excursions are so wide that notes can perceptually register as substantially sharp or flat
3. Jovie's Diphthongs are pronounced stronger than Solaria's
what this information may possible propose is that Solaria might potentially be just as good as Jovie for when you want Solaria to sing like Kacey Musgraves and whatever Country Pop music you want to make with minimal effort whereas Jovie requires more effort in tuning with her starting at a rather Generic American accent. While Jovie's default accent may not be sufficiently country-specific, some of the explicitly country-sounding passages apparently depended on phoneme editing, and some automatic runs/vibrato may require substantial correction.
Jovie is entering an already narrow intersection between vocaloid production and country music and is in a rather narrow Genre positioning compared to Solaria. Jovie is also entering a genre that doesn't have an obvious enormous pre-existing vocal-synth producer population compared to HXVOC. All of this points to making low or novelty-driven adoption a credible risk for Jovie. However, they do not establish Jovie's eventual popularity, because the finished database has not yet accumulated real-world producer usage and the technical criticisms have not yet been independently confirmed.

One thing in Jovie's favour is the incredible popularity of country as a music genre right now (a country song has been topping the Billboard charts in the US for a record-breaking streak): although it's not a strong genre within the vocal synth fandom, Eclipsed Sounds has always found their success reaching outside our niche. While I doubt country fans want to hear songs entirely performed by a vocal synth, I think there's a reasonable chunk of SynthV's professional userbase that would be interested in a country singer for song demos.
It might sound strange, but I don't look to fandom statistics as an indicator of financial success very often. Despite being the most visible subsection of vocal synth users, we aren't necessarily the biggest. Even during the concatenative days, professional users outnumbered fandom producers in terms of buying power. Fandom users who actually publish songs under vocal synth names heavily gravitate towards the top 3 most trendy Japanese voicebanks, which makes them an extremely challenging market for any brand new character to appeal to. The number of English-speaking fandom members that regularly buy new voicebanks is probably in the hundreds - nowhere near enough to sustain a company. This makes outside trends in the broader musical space generally more relevant to companies. Think of that invisible subsection of professionals that uses SynthV as a tool.
That said, I'm not sure how much Eclipsed Sounds is really concerned with making every voicebank as profitable as possible. They've never been interested in playing it safe: pursuing nicher genres than country, championing diverse characters in the face of prejudice, producing large amounts of supplementary lore just-for-fun, and generally showing a passion-driven approach rather than a corporate one. It's clear their love of vocal synths is their primary driver. I think if they had a concept they were excited about, they'd release it regardless of metrics.

Supporting your theory is the fact that each color has it's own category on the Eclipsed Sounds site, unlike Starry Court just having 1 category shared. Fascinating!
What does manual mode for pitch tuning have to do with pronunciation?
