  • Yamaha had 6 months to get a 2nd third party bank for v5. SIX MONTHS! I can understand a delay for eng & chn banks technical reasons... but not for jpn banks. No updated jpn banks. No brand new jpn banks outside of Sora. WTF Yamaha?

    I honestly also wouldn't be surprised if people aren't really happy with the removal of XSY from V5, and that's part of why people don't want to release updates right now. To me, Sora's voicebanks literally seem to me like they were originally created with XSY in mind. On top of that, XSY seemed like a pretty important feature to me, and I was actually kind of angry when I found out it was removed.

    The JP fandom wasn't too fond of XSY, supposedly.
    It could be very broken.

    It could also be improved upon in V5 instead of just completely ripped out, especially because there are people who do like using it anyways. And in most cases you're not even forced to use it if you don't want to, with the only exception being ARSLOID.
    So that's why Tomo from AHS is heading over to NAMM (that's voice modulation and NOT synthesis btw)

    RC Voice has been around for a few months but they're moving from their apps to full function programs for windows/mac that can be used in a daw. Still hoping that Tomo is there for vocaloid stuff too

    I realized today that Haruno Sora is turning 6 months old this saturday. The even more shocking thing? Realizing the last v5 bank was released 6 months ago. I really hope Yamaha is gonna give us news at NAMM this week.
    Huh. Bandai Namco have noticed the western vocaloid community's reaction to Komachi... and how few loids that have come out here.
    1st Place: 'We want to have alot of concerts overseas'

    Also 1st Place: Forgets to mention on the socials that concert tickets for one of the biggest US cities is on sale.

    Man, what the heck is going on at that company?
    I guess I was really tired this morning and completely messed up my post. At least I made the proper edits hahaha

    I do stuff like that, too. But I learned to use the Preview feature before posting anything and also get my twin to proofread it. OTL Sometimes I wonder if I even know English anymore, or how to paste the correct links, or space out the text out properly so it's not one giant wall...
    Worked a bit more on my Ellie VRoid/VRM model. Here's a vid of her physics in motion. Also did body adjustments & a iris fix

    Between CeVIO's big update next year & SynthV possibly seeing a commercial release, I wonder how both of them would go about releasing third party banks in the west
    It's official. I made the world's worst Yanhe model *nervous laugh*

    I think it's a good achievement! You managed to finish your 2nd model. How many people can say that? Of course the beginning experiments won't be perfect (no one starts out as the next Picasso or Tony Hawk or Mozart), but if you keep going I think you can improve exponentially. ^-^ Also, VRoid is still new and lacks important features/has limitations, so even if you just wait for another update, maybe you can go back and edit this model and the Eleanor one?

    I think she is really cute! especially her face looks reaaaally good! And her body also looks very well modeled. Don't worry too much about the hair and the texturing, those things are really hard to learn and to perfect and for that it's good!

    She's cute ! And well, don't worry, tell yourself at least you managed to finish a model (I struggle OTL) Plus it's nice seeing her with a bobcut, and that fits her well ^.^
    So with Tumblr's big anti-NSFW content purge, at least 25% of the Miku fanart & 45% of the Yukari fanart is going to be wiped from the site.

    Wow, I feel REALLY sorry for Yukari....
    So V5 sounds more realistic than V3&4, but CeVIO's english bank sounds more realistic even with engine noise, but Sophia sounds much more real than those two with no engine noise but yet SynthV trumps them all & it's currently out for free for the moment? Yamaha should be seriously worried right now.

    I think it will depend on SynthV's marketing budget and aspirations. A lot more people are aware of Vocaloid at the moment, so even if SynthV is the better product, competing would be very tricky. A lot of Vocaloid's current sales are also driven by the characters and culture rather than technical ability. No parameters could sway a Miku fan, for example!

    @Exemplar True. I haven't tried Synth V myself yet, but if it's as good as some of the samples make it seem, it could definitely be a strong competitor with Vocaloid, if (as @lIlI mentioned) they have the aspirations, marketing budget, and marketing know-how to make it happen (Actually, I was half-hoping when I read your post that they were giving away free full versions for whatever reason. I wouldn't mind pairing her up with Miku. :) ).

    Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the platform got sold to one or the other major players at some point for just that reason--even with a superior product, I'd think it would be hard for a one-person/few-person shop to compete against a company the size of Yamaha or Crypton.
