I know that the reason Crypton made their own software ecosystem is because of their own design decisions and stuffs. But if I remember correctly they want to develop Vocalistener-like feature, also considering the people behind it also worked on NT? How is it going?
Though the software have direct pitch drawing, the default pitch still sounds very Vocaloid-y. And also the competition has incorporated AI tuning feature in them. Yes Crypton don't want to make extremely realistic voicebanks, but incorporating AI tuning feature sounds like it's not a too bad idea I guess (even though people still treat it as a profitable, clickbait-able, gimmicky thing, or simply people just don't know how to tune).
