    I watched bits of it and some clips. Couldn’t handle watching the whole thing, was afraid that I’d be too upset by the end.

    it's definitely worth it to watch full, very heartwarming and wholesome. I'm just so so sad that she's gone now. I feel lots of regret for not being able to draw something for her before her graduation. But yeah, you will cry if you watch it full. a lot
    I love AHS, they are still out here trying their best to get in touch with the german Synth community. They've been the only ones doing this for years and I appreciate it so so much. Will never forget the V3 Yukari with german interface.

    I hope we get German language support in synth v to have most of ahsloids all in German.

    They actually had a demonstration of Seika singing in german.


    There is no upload of that showcase (yet) but the same person made Seika sing another german song. Don't ask what it's about, silly nonsense lol
    My limited edition of Shinigami Note is finally here and it's gorgeous!! Those art prints are really good quality and I can't wait to watch the interview when I have time. Man, I love Calliope Mori
    The struggle when you really like a voice but dislike the design and character... Karin has such a nice voice, for some reason she gives me 2000's anime vibes but idk, I think I wouldn't like drawing her at all
    getting kinda tired of waiting for Cangqiong AI, so I'm thinking of buying another vocal (even tho she was quite expensive, orz..). Maybe Solaria? Maybe Karin? Maybe this is a stupid idea? lol

    I feel you it's been 6 months I impulse purchased her and she's been sitting on my computer untouched because I don't know Chinese. At this point I would save for weina or feng yi just because they are so high quality and has a similar vocal tone. Solaria is a great bank too and is getting voice modes so she'll definitely be very useful.

    Did I preorder the limited edition of Calli's new LP? Yes I did. Did I scream while doing it because the website constantly crashed thanks to everyone swarming it at the same time because Calli said it's super duper limited? Yes I did. Did I get it? Yes I did 😎 Now I only have to wait 3-4 months for it haha
    soo.. I put Chis-A into random song I thought would suit her. I didn't do anything to it, no edits no tuning no nothing. It's just the plain notes.
    Decided to go with her 1.0.0 voice, kinda like it the best even if the differences are subtle.
    Then I chose to just render her with all 3 freeze/export types... and the result is.. interesting??

    can't get the google drive player to work so just take the link to it

    The first one is her with the default, the second is her with 1.0.0 freeze and the third is her with 1.1.0 freeze.
    I like the sound of the 1.0.0 freeze the best but for some reason it suddenly gets super raspy and growly in the high notes????? But other than that it sounds the cleanest. The default one is fine. I do not like the 1.1.0 one, she somehow sounds wet? as if her mouth is full of saliva and her throat slimy. Kinda icky.
    The longer I listen to the new Cevio voice, the more I think it's actually Flower. I have seen people say "yeah well but the icon doesn't show Flower". Yeah, but that can be a placeholder especially because the image looks like the Techno Speech mascot. Also, I haven't forgotten Gynoid talking about Flower's voice actor suddenly sounding like Flower naturally when they recorded her talk bank, while Flower's Vocaloid banks were voiceacted. So, Cevio Flower could just be what Flower sounds like if she's not voiceacted which resulted in this way less raspy and muffled and instead smoother sound.


    There is also this comment under the sneak peak:

    That account belongs to a company that does sell Vocaloids and other music related products and, well, they are followed by both Gynoid's and Flower's twitter account.
    So you know... the connection is definitely there. But either way, I'm probably gonna buy this voice even if it turns out as someone else because I LOVE THIS VOICE.

    I'm like... 90% convinced this is flower. I mean, just look at Xingchen AI, there's an audible difference between her Vocaloid and SynthV bank, but her most recognisable tone and characteristics still remain!

    EDIT: after prism's comparison, consider it 100% LMAO

    Going to post her talk samples for comparison.

    ohhhh! The tone is really similar to her talk bank! Yeah, that makes me now like 99.9% sure that it's Flower but without any voiceacting.
    I'm so sad... there is a still affordably priced auction for Rune Factory 3 on ebay currently going on but the seller only ships to US and Canada 😭 god dammit I really want RF3 but it's so damn rare nowadays, the only copy available in my country is listed for 150€...... and all the other ones I can find are either from Japan or even more expensive American ones, I hate this so much

    I haven't seen one that also does auctions but maybe I'm blind lol. The auction is over now anyways and went up to 148$ so uhm. Just as expensive as the other listed copies.. Rune Factory fans are crazy
    Started tuning my cover project this morning and Cevio is surprisingly fun to use??? Why did no one tell me how easy it is compared to Vocaloid lol. Working with Airi is really fun, can't wait to get back home and continue. I'm just already worried about the mixing, I suck at it and have no clue how to get the noise less noticable hmmmm

    I think I'm done with Airi's part??? wtf??? this would take me a week in Vocaloid and I spend like 4 hours today maybe in Cevio?? I'm a fan now wow
    I think I want to try to cover the Project Sekai version of Shoujorei with Mayu, Cangqiong and Kizaki Airi. It's gonna be interesting to have to work with 3 different programs lol. Also gonna be my first time using Cevio oh boy

    I've been thinking about the current possibilities of voicebanks a lot recently. We've been making huge steps forward in making voices sound as close to their source as possible but it's always been very.. clean voices. Unique ones, but they have one particular voice quirk or singing style that can be recreated more or less easily. But I've been wondering if this might also be possible now for voices and singing styles that are more.. all over the place without it just sounding weird?? As you guys might now I really love Fukuwa's voice and way of singing but he quickly switches from a pretty singing voice to a rough and and kinda scratchy sounding one, to growls and weird pronounciations etc. Back in the day I always thought you'd have to create multiple voicebanks to recreate this but maybe it would be possible now with AI and enough training? But I also wonder if it might get annoying if the style switches in places where you don't want to but you can't really do anything against it 'cause AI. Hmm. I'd love to see an experimental voicebank that does something like this. Even if it would never be released, just a test to see what is even able to be made currently.

    This probably didn't make any sense at all lol

    I do remember when unity-chan came out, they said they aimed to recreate (both in unity with the vocaloid lite engine and then the real vocaloid deal) a "vivid" tone as in, kinda like what you said

    @Prism yeah that's kinda what I thought, but I'd still be curious how far we can push the technology right now and what even might be possible in the future to not make it sound weirdly random. XSY had a huge potential for this actually, since nowadays we can use parameters for power and softness in most programs but there is no way to just change the tone and singing style with parameters. Having 2 different voicebanks in different styles and being able to merge them tho.. But well, they got rid of the feature and making multiple voicebanks is expensive and time intensive.
    Prism
    Prism
    You can merge them outside of the editor with morph or vocalshifter
    I do miss xsy and think it was a mistake that they didn't include it for V5. Especially when it was kinda the gimmick for V4 so many banks got appends. I don't know for sure but i think I heard on Twitter that they are looking into developing an ai xsy solution for synth v.
    soo.. how exactly do I buy Cangqiong? I really want to get her before she gets even more expensive but taobao is definitely confusing

    There is a guide! Kazumi made one Here!

    I don't know if the guide still works since it was written in 2020, but it doesn't hurt to try

    There's another guide I know of that someone made a couple weeks ago. Don't know how well it works since I haven't used it (or have a need to), but if the other one is outdated then it's worth giving this a shot!

    They differ in that Kazumi's seems to be focused on making your own Taobao account and coolkiwiii's is about using a third party to order it for you. Both definitely have their uses depending on which way you wanna go about it.
