I know nobody care KAFU much anymore but she got a full original demo just now: She still sounds weird to me but at least she can be used as a ... quirky voice.

Aurum does indeed seem to be Ausgris. Very interesting, though as assumed they are making their own software rather than working with a pre-existing one as before. Will be reserving judgement until I hear a sample / proof of concept / anything since this is very, very ambitious.

She's had that for a long time actually. I think I updated her to 101 in like, August. Maybe even July. Think it was just a hotfix for something. Going to test Saki AI shortly! Everything I've heard is really promising, and the added features are great for detailed tuning.

No like this made me actually lose my mind, this is huge. Not only is she receiving 2 SynthV voices (Standard + AI) and CeVIO AI Talk like Koharu Rikka, she's also getting them in ENGLISH. Out of nowhere! Unless Eleanor comes out before her with AI, this'll be our first AI English voicebank for...

Seika has the backing of the town of the same name in Kyoto Prefecture. I don't know the full details, but residents of the town who back the project with a pledge of 2000+ yen can have it deducted from their income/inhabitants' tax for next year apparently, as long as they do it before the...

Honestly kinda... pleasantly surprised? with the number of crowdfunding campaigns. This never would have been possible with VOCALOID. Other than that, I'm really looking forward to her singing voice! She's one of my favourite VOICEROID banks, and I think she'll probably have a more mature tone...

At least it seems like they're actually trying a bit. Still really disappointed in her voice, but she sounds slightly better here. Really low quality in parts, and her voice is still far too... cutesy to be singing this kind of song for a demo, but it's progress. I just wish her Japanese fans...

Only Saki. Rikka's recordings were only recently completed and Tsuina-chan won't enter production until February.

Her crowdfunder is doing extremely well. It's not even been 2 hours yet and they're already at 60%. Definitely expect them to meet the SynthV AI stretch goal at the very least.

Seems like Kadowaki Mai will be attending, so they should mostly be talking about Tsuina-chan's crowdfunding campaign, and possibly a bit about Koharu Rikka too.

I don't think the box even has a slot for an actual CD. Probably the first though, considering the markup... Honestly I would still consider buying her box because it looks so good, but it's kind of irritating that they skipped out on a physical installer CD entirely. It's like when video games...

At this point I just laugh. It's tragic honestly, but the worst part is now we know Kaf's fans will show up for this, so it's hopeless to even complain about it much because the market that matters most to the company likes it. All we can hope for is that they're genuinely taking this time to...

I mean it's kinda bad when you consider the actual box serves no purpose at all other than being pretty, but it is very pretty. Definitely see why they held back on preorders for it for a long time, it's clearly marketed towards more hardcore Miku fans.

Yeah the box instead includes a "license card" which includes a license code for you to input on the website and download her. It's kind of understandable given how most PCs/Laptops don't have disc drives now, but also quite sad, especially considering there seems to be a significant markup ($20...

It's an improvement on the beta for sure, but if Crypton don't release a tuned demo I'll be kinda mad... I don't know if they're allergic to it or something, but I found Miku NT is a lot nicer to listen to for me once she's been tuned by someone. At least she can be regularly updated as need be...

All the boys have such good designs... it makes me kinda wanna get back into this software LOL EDIT: Just redownloaded the software... there's 15 voices now?!?! Zhir Bin has a really nice voice... I'll test them out now.

She was kinda stealth-announced, they didn't make a big deal of it since she's kind of a given, but we know she'll probably be available as she was before - either as a tie-in with the editor for a discount or as a stand alone vocal. I doubt she'll be free since she's so popular, but she'll...

It will ALWAYS be funny to me how emvoice completely alienated the only market that would actually buy their product in large numbers. They're very lucky to have investors or this would have failed a long time ago.

I actually really like Yukari's voice... she sounds like her Vocaloid version, which was already very good, but also slightly more human? It does seem like they used her Vocaloid samples, or at the very least got Chihiro to record in a similar fashion. She sounds very soothing, definitely better...

Yeah it's pretty natural to avoid criticising something directly, but the problem is there's no criticism at all... it seems the general commentariat can't even find any fault with it. Even my Japanese mutuals who are into voice synthesis have taken note of it and mentioned how it may mean she...
