kai-you.net/article/89946 Everyone should be very careful not to assume attacks like this are “just ransomware” until full reports about attack scale are shared. Especially when Kadokawa stated from the beginning that the attackers had network access. When cybercrime happens the rule of thumb...

Just an important distinction I think some have missed— this attack was *not* an attack that exclusively targeted niconico services. This attack impacted effectively ALL Kadokawa servers and services. So if you have accounts on Kadokawa marketplaces, keep an eye on your email in case more...

VoiSona might be my favorite commercial engine on the market right now, so I’m very excited to see what comes of this. (I have a theory of who this might be, but we’ll see…)

Sounds fantastic

I agree with your perspective that Dreamtonics wouldn’t be okay with this, but the demo provided definitely didn’t have the CeVIO formant-lock sound, which is likely why they went down a distinct stylistic angle than what was present on the CeVIO vocal. Was just obviously not a feature or...

Did you guys not think the demo was an interesting derivation from typical SV voices? It stood out to me personally how stylistic it was compared to... practically every other offering on the engine. I don't think it was presented as a vocal that was "purely realistic" even if it was...

She did give her all-clear, but retracted it when she saw the public's reaction to the project upon the demo's release, as she said in her personal statement. For those seeking out cancellation/no cancellation news, these press releases have been very particularly written. They can't say "this...

For your own sanity I would consider this a cancellation until there is word otherwise that development is continuing.

Yeah for sure lol, I get the sense people are like "ZOMG IKEOJI SYNTH", I hope they aren't disappointed GAHA. I personally like the character way more with the bizarre flavor, so hopefully everyone can embrace it if it ever breaches containment :ROFL:

His voice is fantastic, as expected. He does suffer from some of the low-frequency-itis that plagues ASTERIAN, but it's OK. His range with the vocal modes is fun and impressive. Some people have been pairing him in duets with Teto, which feels appropriate with the contrasting colors and meme...

I like both of their designs so much. I've become a fan of the monochromatic and futuristic designs some companies have been associating with their synths. Both POPY and ROSE were extremely unique vbs with a ton of charm. I really liked both CEVIO AI and SV POPY for different reasons-- so...

Not calling out anyone in this thread. Just wanted to verbalize my disappointment with some of the dialogue I saw surrounding this VB's soft cancellation. Something I find interesting about KAF's statement: she approved the sample, but changed her mind after she saw the community's reaction to...

Audine's tone is very nice. I like her voice a lot. I was also surprised by her fumbling of pronunciations and stresses though-- it could be a side-effect of the modifications/tools that are currently available for the backend, but it is interesting and strange. Not what I expected as far as an...

I will be heavily surprised if a class-action lawsuit materializes.

I think it’s obvious what the benefits of an LED screen are from the production perspective. Less calibration. Less time put into setup before the performance. You’re able to accommodate more venues. But I think ultimately what this is, is a cost-saving measure. All of these things mean less...

She’s awesome. I’m glad V6 is getting new VBs. With her and Rowen onboard, it’s set for having a pretty diverse soundscape.

I think I disagree with this overarching sentiment that Crypton is either a) at a loss due to NT's condition or b) failing as a whole due to the lack of new VB releases. I think the reality of the situation is that development of products is ongoing, but development is difficult and Crypton...

The OLIVER demo sounded good to me. I agree, I am just baffled as to why all of this was dripped out over time instead of delivered to potential backers as a more cohesive look at what was to come if the project came to fruition. Compared to what has surfaced in the last couple of weeks, the...

This is just a VB that caters so specifically to my extremely niche interests that I can't help but love it. From a musical perspective, I think like VBs a la Macne Nana and Gachapin, you could do some interesting experimental and thematic things with it. I have heard secondhand about people...

The designs this year are so cute. I think crab-chan is still my favorite, but this cool cooking Miku is great too. It makes me wish Sakura Miku was a more established thing just so we could get more Miku design variations every year.
