    CeVIO Updated IA/IA English/ONE banks coming to Cevio AI

    Nope, I'll always consider IA to be ONE's ditzy yet sweet older sister in my headcanon.

    To be fair, I long questioned the existences of both Vivid and Light when they were still available, considering that they both sounded the same to me (with Light having slightly stronger consonants, and even then, it still sounded like a subpar version of Solid). I can see why they were...

    People need to stop asking surprised that a lot of producers continue to use Miku in their originals. She's long been the most visible Vocaloid (she's moved engines now, but she's still heavily associated with Vocaloid); she's the VB people have experimented the most with (as in, people using...

    A.I.VOICE (AITalk5) General News

    I like Yukari's shirt - it takes me back to the early 2010s, when all the hipsters would wear quirky button-ups like that.

    What games do you guys play?

    I finally got round to playing Project Diva MegaMix a couple weeks ago. I don't keep up with Project Diva as much as you'd think because they're usually released on Sony consoles, but is it just me or have the later Diva games gotten way harder than the older ones? I mean, yeah, Sega has to...

    Vocaloid Merchandise News

    I don't even collect Nendos (too expensive a hobby for me), but I still desperately want the prototype Miku. I've always loved that design.

    Other Neutrino

    Now the inverse of Hippi's situation has happened to me - I thought Seven would have a cutesier, moe-like voice based on her design, but instead it sounds more powerful and mature than I expected. Neutrino has also benefitted from engine updates, because Seven sounds beautifully realistic so...

    I'll reiterate from the Hippi thread that while her voice was a surprise, I don't hate it either, but it's nowhere near as "kawaii desu" as some people are saying it is. It's young-sounding without being overly cutesy. Basically, she has more similarities to Gumi than say, Miku.

    I honestly don't think Luka is suited to hard rock and metal songs. Certainly no offense to producers who use her for those kinds of songs (and indeed, there are some Luka rock and metal songs I really love anyway), but I feel Luka gets drowned out by the instrumentals because her voice is so...

    How much do you listen to vocal synth music?

    This is the first time I've created a poll, so if anything's wrong or isn't working properly, please let me know so I can fix it. ^^; I got kinda curious about how often we listen to vocal synth music on here, since while I listen to it almost every day, I also listen to non-vocal synth stuff...

    SynthV Indiegogo campaign for Solaria

    Bit surprised by the name change, but I like the more ethereal, goddess-like ring to it.

    1st Place introduces HIPPI

    I didn't expect a cuter tone, but I don't hate it either. Her English sounds precious, however! I'm curious to see how CeVIO processes it.

    What If the "Character Vocal" Design Framework Never Became a Thing?

    If character vocals never existed, I'd have probably still come across vocal synth technology at some point (being the music and tech nerd that I am), but I probably wouldn't have become so invested in the vocal synth fandom like I have done. Miku completely changed the game because she was the...

    SynthV New Voicebank "Rosa" announced for SynthV and CeVio or AiVoice!

    The amount of crowdfunding campaigns coming out around the same time as each other reminds me of the V3 era, when it felt like a new Vocaloid VB was dropping every month with poor promotion. Truth be told, I thought Solaris was extremely lucky to meet her crowdfunding goals, and it's...

    What was the first vocal synth song you've ever listened to?

    That video takes me waaay back! (Come to think of it, I'm forever annoyed that that particular remix never got a full version). Staying on topic, my first vocal synth song was 'melody...' (which I believe shares the same producer as the Ballade remix).

    Other Cryptonloid voicebank updates, collabs, & concert news (crypton_wat Twitter translations)

    I'm disappointed with NT Dark as well - it sounds like a softer version of NT Original, but not in a good way. Dark was arguably one of the most iconic appends across all of Miku's Vocaloid versions, and it had a distinct tone to boot, which is now missing. Strangely enough, Original now...

    Other Cryptonloid voicebank updates, collabs, & concert news (crypton_wat Twitter translations)

    At this point, I feel like people are only following Miku NT just to see whatever drama happens next. This release has been extremely botched since it was originally announced. I don't like crapping on Crypton, and I'm certainly not one of those fans who are like "RESPECT MIKU-SAMA CRYPTON", but...

    SynthV Indiegogo campaign for Solaria

    Yaaay, I was right! I'm so glad Solaris pulled through - she'll definitely stand out among vocal synths in general, not just SynthV. I'll look forward to her development.

    HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2021 Online

    Can't believe that the biggest Vocaloid drama in recent months is Miku Expo playing the wrong vocal version of a song. :tongue:
