I honestly never saw anyone use the Color Voice banks, unless I've been living under a rock (and knowing my lack of Japanese, I probably am lol.)

Hippi doesn't even appear to be a synth after all, just a vtuber. Like I've said before, 1st Place seems to be confusing everyone with terrible decisions.

I remember when V5 was being demo'd, a lot of people were impressed with the realism of the new V5 banks, but I was more interested in the effects that allowed you to make a Vocaloid sound more robotic/digitised within the engine rather than in an external DAW. ^^; I enjoy realistic tuning...

I kinda wish IA and ONE were either on SynthV or Vocaloid (in IA's case, she would be back on Vocaloid) at this point, considering how much of a clusterfuck CeVIO's PR has become. I'm also still burned over IA English only being on CeVIO. Even though I don't even use vocal synths? Don't ask me...

It's been so depressing watching 1st Place go from being a trailblazer to... Whatever state it's currently in right now. They're a shadow of their former selves. So many questionable decisions regarding IA and ONE (I haven't been thrilled with the "moeblob" direction they seem to have taken with...

I like how both IA and ONE can be adjusted to sound either more cute or mature, and based on the short samples, it sounds like you can set IA in particular to sound more like her Vocaloid VB.

Let's not forget that Miku pretty much has the vocal synth idol market cornered - most other attempts to follow her have a tendency to crash and burn, or just gain a niche following. While a success story pops up every once in a while (I.e. IA and ONE), for the most part people just either...

Hasn't this been considered a problem since the V3 era of Vocaloid? Because I remember people complaining about V3 voicebanks sounding too "samey" back in the day (though the routine glut of releases didn't help.) Going back on topic, is it just me or does Karin's SynthV sound a bit like ONE?

Sooo... Is it too early to call the death of CeVIO AI's TTS yet?

I feel the same way regarding German. People are too quick to dismiss it as too "angry/harsh" sounding when it can sound stunning in different contexts.

I think some elements of the Crypton formula are still around today (knee to thigh high socks and boots, detached sleeves, a general futuristic vibe etc.), but on the whole, I'm glad companies are trying out new character designs that break away from the Crypton/Miku mold.

I know I'm going off-topic now, but speaking as a new research student in History, I can attest that competitiveness/a "sink or swim" attitude is prevalent everywhere in academia nowadays, not just Science or the rest of STEM. The same pressure to churn out new research is sadly also common...

Maghni is clearly still in alpha, so I'm not surprised the current samples sound like that. Though I do agree it does bring to mind 'I Feel Fantastic'. ^^;

I don't use any streaming services, and iTunes isn't reliable if you check the number of plays tab, because I listen to music in a certain order. (It's something related to my autism - kinda weird/hard to explain). So I'm basing my list on how many albums I own by certain artists. This isn't in...

I agree that death has become a cheap excuse to write out characters in modern media. And that's not even counting the moments where characters die for a bit, only to be brought back later.

I found Miku by accident while browsing YouTube and just clicking on random videos on the sidebar. One of them was 'Melody.exe' and since I was already an established trance fan (even at age 11 - I was one of the 'weird' kids who legitimately liked electronic music when it was still a bit...

I'm still not sure/confused what exactly Hippi is intended to be in relation to IA and ONE (a fellow vocal synth, or a VTuber with a human VA?), but considering she's associated with two voice synths, I'm just assuming she will get a VB somewhere down the line.

Hearing Hippi's VP's English, is there a chance that Hippi might get an English VB later? I'm also disappointed with CeVIO IA's cuter tone, but I don't hate it. As long as 1st Place don't pull a Kafu and prevent users from changing CeVIO's equivalent of gender factor, I can lump the default...

Hatsuneigh Miku. I'm sorry, I'll just leave this thread now lol.
