    CeVIO CeVIO AI SEKAI

    Oh, I like the design already! I'm being cautiously optimistic right now considering what happened with Kafu, but Sekai seems to be more of a separate character from the VP, so hopefully, Kamitsubaki have learned from Kafu.

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

    Oh, this demo sounds a lot better! ONE sounds more like her usual self, rather than strangely pitchy, and the engine noise is minimal (if still present, as usual because CeVIO).

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

    New IA demo: It's a self-cover, but IA's voice here isn't doing it for me, and you can hear CeVIO's engine way more prominently, like with the recent ONE demo. Also, in some parts, I keep thinking IA sounds like ONE, but in a bad way?

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

    For whatever reason, ONE has much more noticeable engine twang in her voice than IA did in her recent demo, which is bizarre to hear.

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

    In some parts, I honestly thought IA sounded really similar to Lia, so I can't knock CeVIO AI here, even if it is probably Ciel's tuning doing all the hard work. You can still hear CeVIO's engine twang sometimes, but it doesn't bother me here and I've kinda conceded that will always be a problem...

    SynthV English SynthV AI ANRI

    At first, I thought Anri Rune had come back from the dead on SynthV lol. Still, a new English VB is a great surprise. I really like her voice so far; it's distinct from Eleanor, Maki and Solaria (which isn't difficult to do right now for obvious reasons, but still).

    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.)

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

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

    SynthV Natsuki Karin voicebanks for Synthesizer V AI and CeVIO AI

    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?

    Text-to-Speech counterpart to Synthesizer V from Dreamtonics

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

    Unconventional opinions

    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.

    The death of CV Series' cliche in voicesynth designs

    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.

    Hatsune Miku & Piapro Characters General News & Happenings

    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...

    Other Software Maghni AI by Crescendia

    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'. ^^;
