i think the new synth v male bank falls in a category that is hard to figure out an opinion on bc i think its a bank that is fitting a very specific tonal twang, that when not utilized, it can sound bad. like, sachiko for example. there is a different between a voice that is just... really low and deep like Asterian, versus a voice like Sachiko or Unnamed Male. Asterian isnt for a specific genre(when i say specific i mean VERY specific, like the new guy). hes a octavist with a variety of genres being captured in his vocal modes. Sachiko has an enka accent and style. Unnamed Male has that. idk what you call it but its that weird thing that certain rock artists do in their tone lol. I loved Sachiko but theres a reason we dont hear her used that much even after all this time of people growing on her- she isnt able to do much outside of that, because if she isnt fitting the style she doesnt sound great. Already I feel like Unnamed Male will be like that- he will sounds really fuckin good when the right tuners get their hands on him and use him with the genre he fits, but will sound bad when poorly tuned and probably wont be a very beginner friendly voice in that regard.
thats kind of where id want to hope Synth V's auto tuning strikes well (Asterian's auto tuning is REALLy good and fitting to his type so i wanna cross my fingers dreamtonics will put the effort into making that work well), but even so this is obvious the issue with such a specific toned bank. and thats NOT bad because obvious we asked for it. we ask for banks like this constantly so by no means am i upset-- i just have these expectations lined up bc i undoubetly know people will end up huffy about the results of the banks and its not to say its excusable, its just like. how i expect things to go ya know.
