I was just curious what the same song would sound like in the different engines, so without further ado, here's Dex (tuned in Piapro Studio), Eleanor, and Marie, singing Ladybug, Ladybug!
You can send it to me on Discord Konasaur#9835, should be able to send. You can also upload it somewhere like Google Drive or Fropbox and send me the DL@Kona how exactly should I go about sending the MIDI, since i can't attach it?
Btw, the only changes I made were for pronounciation (Eleanor needed the most). Vocaloid and SynthV were made off of the same MIDI, but I had to remake it for A/E b/c it's so fussy about it's sources.
Is that so? Difference in accents perhaps then. I suppose I came off as attacking Dex a bit (never -- everyone here knows I'm a ho for Zero-G), but it wasn't that his was bad -- I just didn't understand it right off the bat as easily as Synth V's. Probably just my ears though :)I think Dex and Elly are about even? If you had an issue with Dex's "under" @Leon, I changed that manually to match how i sing it. Anything else is normal however.
Oh it wasn't that, that was just what leaped into my mind. I was taught to sing open vowels, I probably sing halfway between "ahr" and "er" for that. I changed it b/c it bugged me how he (and Elly, if I'd thought of it) said it.Is that so? Difference in accents perhaps then.

Imo CeVIO would be a strong competitor if it weren't for that choppiness. The timing parameter only helps so much, but it shows potential given Vocaloid was also choppy once. The only issue I encounterbwith IA Eng aside her choppiness is her twang, especially the longer notes she has trouble with (noticeable at the end of the sample).Oh now this is interesting! I don't like how Dex said a few things, I would have definitely itched to edit it more thoroughly if I were trying to wrangle it into a finished cover/whatever. Actually, out of the box (aside from your mentioned necessary tweaks) I think Ellie's is the best. I listened to them in order and wasn't totally certain on the lyrics at the end from Dex, but had no issues understanding Ellie. I don't think she sounds garbled at the end? Dex does more so even.
Marie I won't comment so much on. She's choppy but that's the engine I suppose? And it's the same with IA. I had to make myself relisten to it to agree that her pronunciation is fantastic, because it's just so choppy that I hated it the first time and couldn't focus on much else. CeVIO is an interesting engine...
Anyway this just solidifies in my mind that Yamaha's wig has been utterly snatched.
