I've only just noticed Frimomen's colour scheme for his SynthV design makes him look like he could be Miku's dad. Lol.

Exactly what I'm thinking! I'm now morbidly curious to hear the real V6 VB, just to see if there's a Vocaloid with worse quality than Sonika in general or Arsloid's extra banks only intended for cross-synth use. (Obviously, no offence to anyone who does like those banks, but I'm speaking from a...

*stares at London date, knowing they woudn't throw a bone to everyone else in the UK*

It was a widespread rumour back in the day, but it's never been confirmed by Kaji himself or Crypton. (And considering CV04 can safely be assumed to be vaporware at this point, it's unlikely we'll ever get an answer).

I'm surprised by how deep and mature her voice is considering the character design, but it definitely doesn't bother me. She'd make a good contrast in duets with Gumi and even Una.

I'm just gonna wait for people to assume this new girl has something to do with Lui Hibiki.

Maybe the final song will present a curveball and be a collab between two or more old school producers?

Despondent Meiko noises. I get the impression Luka has been dethroned as a popular bank within the Japanese scene because her gimmick (bilingual VB) is now pretty much a standard for vocal synths in general, unless you're aiming for a specific market (I.e. Japanese-only bank for a Japanese...

On the off-chance there is a European tour, I hope there will be British dates that aren't based in London. Not everyone lives near or can conveniently get to the capital! (Ever tried to access London via public transport? Absolute nightmare, especially if you have to take a train these days...

From this perspective, it sounds like Crypton is almost in the same position Nintendo is today, where they don't worry too much about actively competing with other companies because they've long cornered a specific niche in the market. In Crypton's case, it sounds like they want to stick with...

Yeah, that's the kind of thing Crypton seem to be wasting* too much time on these days. Same thing with stuff like the Pokemon collab. While I love Pokemon and the collab is adorable, it's not exactly what the fans have been asking for over the last few years. *I'm always down for new Miku...

Is anyone else bothered by Crypton's current trajectory of just hawking Miku out as a mascot character, rather than actively trying to upgrade her VB to modern vocal synth standards? I know she's always been a mascot character available to throw on tons of merch, but NT seems to be dead as a...

In all fairness, his voice is unique by vocal synth standards, not just SynthV! We need more lower toned male vocals. (Asterian was a great step, but diversity is always appreciated.)

Maybe the creator's grown embarrassed by the project recently, which is why he's trying to nuke AmadeuSY from the internet?

It definitely sounds like VoiSona, because I can't hear CeVIO's infamous twang at all. He sounds really promising! Tho it does make me wonder again how he would have sounded like as CV04, either on V2 or V3.

Last year's predictions: There's been a few more celebrity Japanese voices, but still nothing for English voices. I dunno if the rise of the tech bros in the AI space has put off Western singers from allowing voice samples to be used in vocal synths. Still nothing, but I remain hopeful for...

I've been kind of expecting this, considering her first demo appeared close to the original release date. But the lack of a new date is really making me wonder what's been going on behind the scenes - I don't think we've had a SynthV release this troubled and lacking transparency before.

Already, I can tell her English crosslang is a lot better in SynthV compared to V6. It's a shame her vocal modes don't seem to do much right now though - I agree that she really needed a proper Power mode to make her really versatile.
