I'm glad Rosa will be on an established engine (mainly because I think the vocal synth market is starting to get overcrowded). I'm hoping Rosa's singing bank will be on SynthV, but it does make more sense to have both the song and talk banks on CeVIO, since it supports both. (SynthV still only...

You're right that RnB is super uncommon within Vocaloid. Speaking as a trance fan, I've noticed that trance songs using Vocaloid have really dropped off over the last decade, though I'm not sure if it has much to do with changing trends within the international electronic music scene in general...

This might have been mentioned before on this thread, but I'll say it anyway - Miku/Luka as a ship is extremely overrated.

ONE Talk AI pretty much sounds like what I expected from an update. At the very least, she still sounds similar to her singing bank, unlike IA Talk.

Not "private" in the traditional sense if he's commercially released - he's meant to be a robotic assistant. He uses Vocaloid technology, but you won't be able to edit his voice in V5.

It sounds better than the OG Talk bank, but it's still too cutesy and not like IA's singing bank at all, so I still don't like it overall. :tongue:

Definitely an interesting concept! I also quite like her character design - it kind of reminds me of 2000s-era anime-styled games set in the future. Her UTAU voice reminds me of a distorted Teto right now, but I assume she would sound very different and less distorted in A.I.VOICE. (As handy as...

If Crypton doesn't make an official statement soon, I'm just gonna assume this will likely become a vaporware project similar to Ring Suzune. I'm surprised we've had another Kafu-style PR disaster so quickly.

I'm surprised they're sticking with the traditional anime style rather than a Western cartoony look, but it does ease one of the many worries I currently have about the project.

The end result of this will either unexpectedly please most fans, or be an absolute disaster. I can't see any in-between reactions.

I never buy any merch from China for that reason. Apologies to any legitimate Chinese sellers, but there are way too many scams and bootlegs on places like eBay, Wish, etc. for me to take the risk. (That's not to say you can't have issues with other foreign sellers, however. Hell, even in my...

I think it would make way more sense just stick to English, Japanese and Chinese first, rather than creating lots of reclists for languages that might not even get a VB. Looking at the list, I'm stoked they're working on German, but it won't mean anything if no German VB is created for Maghni...

I know a few figure collectors on Instagram who intentionally buy bootlegs of figures they really want, but can't get either because they're too rare, expensive or both. I know it's morally dubious because they aren't buying the legit product, but I'm not in any position to judge people based on...

Probably not that unpopular, but I'll mention it anyway: I actually like it when Miku has a more mature tone to her voice, and I'm not just talking about her Dark and to a lesser extent, Solid appends. Even during the period where only the original Miku V2 existed, I always liked it when Miku...

I was gonna mention the new Police Piccadilly song here - very impressed with how Kafu sounds in that song, even though she sounds a bit muffled on the higher notes. (Though at this point, considering the issues surrounding Yukari Rei, I'm not sure if it's the VB or CeVIO AI to blame for the...

To some extent, this is true regarding the Kafu drama since she's clearly supposed to be aimed at Kaf's established fans, but the general complaints in the Western fandom focus on her obvious quality issues. On a more subjective note, I don't like voice types like Len and Piko all that much, but...

So nothing was announced about their singing banks? Disappointing, considering that ONE was always on CeVIO and it looked like 1st Place were planning to move all of IA's banks away from Vocaloid.

It's interesting to note that although searches for Vocaloid on Google have declined consistently overtime, searches for Miku have remained fairly steady despite a decline in the late 2010s.
