    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 Software 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 Software 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:

    Online Creators Favourite YouTubers?

    I'm just gonna list the ones that are still regularly active (or are trying to post regularly again), because I'm subbed to a lot of channels that have either gone completely dead or post infrequently. - Cinemassacre (well, Angry Video Game Nerd I guess, but still) - Caddicarus - Bennett the...

    Writing What are ways to get better at writing?

    I remember that crap in both primary and secondary school! In hindsight, I feel that advice was intended to discourage kids from reading for pleasure and looking into a writing career, because apparently, published authors never repeat words or phrases. Plus, replacing "said" with a fancier...

    SynthV Indiegogo campaign for Solaria

    Knowing how crowdfunding campaigns typically work, there might be a surge of donations towards the end of Solaris's campaign, which may or may not get her over the line. (To be fair, I am worried that her donations are coming in too slowly.)

    Discussion Where do you primarily listen to music?

    A mixture of YouTube, offline digital files and CDs ripped to my laptop. I don't see the appeal in Spotify (online connection needed, plus ads on the standard version). I'm an old fart who still uses an iPod - in fact, it's my favourite way to listen to albums, aside from playing the actual CD...

    SynthV CeVIO AI / Synthesizer V Tsurumaki Maki

    On a random note, I still can't get used to the real pronunciation of CeVIO. It reminds me of word "cheese" for some reason and it bugs the crap outta me lol. Going back on topic, as a native English speaker, I did notice some rhythm and fluidity issues, but overall, Maki has a really nice talk...
