    Other Maghni AI by Crescendia

    I'm genuinely not surprised this project has struggled to the point that the new dev team are almost about to discard the previous code and start again. I can still remember when Maghni was originally announced and almost everyone on here (including myself) gave the project a side-eye because of...

    Piapro Studio Kagamine Rin/Len NT

    Ooof, definitely heard the dreaded NT buzziness too. It just confirms what I've previously said about NT not handling softer voices well.

    Other Yokune Ruko (F) ACE Virtual Singer bank announced

    1.) It's Xitter. Everyone's angry for no reason on there lol. 2.) Ace Studio isn't popular with the wider vocal synth fandom for multiple reasons, so it's rare we talk about it here.

    Other Mandarin song voice library Yurin for singing synthesis software VoiSona

    University lecturer is such a random choice of occupation for a voice synth, but I'm all here for it lol.

    SynthV GEMVOX - A new AI voice synthesizer label debuting on Synthesizer V

    When I say "crappy", I meant it looked more like a preliminary sketch for a vocal synth design rather than a final drawing. It just seems rushed and lazy to me.

    SynthV GEMVOX - A new AI voice synthesizer label debuting on Synthesizer V

    I'm sorry, they're still using that crappy art for Topaz SynthV 2?! In other news, I'd completely forgotten Topaz and Gemvox existed until now lmao.

    SynthV Nekomura Iroha announced for SynthV2

    I'm stunned at how good Iroha sounds on SynthV! Her vocal modes also give her a more androgynous vibe similar to Saros and Nyl.

    The updated designs remind me a bit of Magic Knight Rayearth!

    The 90s style in the Amnibus art reminds me of Mr. Driller!

    VOCALOID Hatsune Miku VOCALOID6

    I agree! Miku English V3 and V4's phonemes can sound strange sometimes when certain combos are used, which massively lets down both the quality and the clarity of the banks. (It's hard to explain, but I've noticed Miku English has a bad tendency to either over- or underenunciate words if you...

    Piapro Studio Kagamine Rin/Len NT

    I'm surprised at how good Rin and Len sound in NT! I'm starting to wonder if NT is a synth that processes sharper, more powerful voices the best compared to softer tones (think of how UTAU works), so the Kagamines came out good while Miku is still struggling a bit, even in NT2.

    it feels kinda dead here recently

    Even back in the golden era of V2, there were a lot of people who were really only Miku fans who liked super-popular songs like World Is Mine and didn't know anything else about Vocaloid as a software, a fandom and a budding music culture. If you were lucky, they probably also knew of a token...

    Media preservation thread

    Don't forget about the Wayback Machine! Admittedly, the Internet Archive in general is now under threat from copyright holders, but the WM is still a godsend for archiving old pages (so long as a robots.txt script isn't on a site). I've tried my best to save songs and post them to YouTube in...

    VOCALOID Hatsune Miku VOCALOID6

    Admittedly, Miku V2 had choppy transitions as well, but people forgave it in hindsight because she was the second V2 ever released after Sweet Ann, and the very first Japanese V2. Nowadays, some people find V2's choppiness charming, but obviously that's nostalgia over older software. I agree...

    VOCALOID Hatsune Miku VOCALOID6

    These comments have just made me think if Crypton had just kept reissuing V2 Miku in some way (and even V1 Meiko and Kaito and V2 Rin, Len and Luka), a lot of fans would have been less upset over the years. With every engine upgrade and attempt to keep their V1 and V2 tones, ironically the...

    SynthV Synthesizer V Discussion Thread

    This also really puts the nail in the coffin for Eleanor Forte's reputation - I can still remember when she was pretty much promoted as SynthV's (most likely) mascot bank and Miku equivalent, but that honour later went to Solaria and now Teto.

    it feels kinda dead here recently

    I think what's also helped VVN survive the current social media-dominated landscape is that we can post tutorials and troubleshooting advice for vocal synths, which isn't easy to do on other platforms (except Reddit and maybe YouTube if a video is necessary to demonstrate or fix an issue). If...

    it feels kinda dead here recently

    I'd say super-active discussions started dropping after 2013 or so. I do recall 2014 being the point I noticed activity on VocaloidOtaku started to decrease, away from shitposts towards more thoughtful conversations - not necessarily a bad thing, but it did reflect the trends I've already...
