    Other Software Maghni AI by Crescendia

    Out of everything wrong with Maghni's development, Barham's behaviour and code withholding is what baffles me the most. Any reputable company would have some kind of employment contract clause where they would either withhold wages for no work, or just fire them completely, but this doesn't seem...

    Discontinued voicebanks you regret not getting?

    My number one dream has long been to somehow stumble upon an old Vocaloid box in a charity shop, with the sellers completely unaware of what it actually is. As you can expect, it's never happened, but I still think the V1 Engloids at the very least could end up in a random place like that if...

    VOCALOID Adachi Rei Campfire Campaign for Vocaloid6

    First, a new Flavor Foley song featuring Iroha, and now Rei's early access banks are nearly here. God bless Iroha and Rei for giving the fandom some good news while Maghni implodes. 🙌 (That's annoying for the backers about the rewards though.)

    As an old fart, I can chime in for any younger fans on here that VocaTone has long had a reputation for being dickish, up to and including what @DefiantKitsune has said - and I can back this up, because I remember VT posting on VocaloidOtaku when I was a member there, and they eventually managed...

    Since Meiko is still characterised as the resident drunk, I always found my headcanon of Meiko being the bumbling, crazy mum and Kaito as the kind-hearted, yet down-to-earth and easily embarrassed dad to be far more amusing and subversive. 😅 But on the whole, I don't see "stupid Kaito"...

    In all honesty, I think much of Meiko English's issues and misusages can be applied to all the Crypton English banks, especially Miku English before V6. They sound too soft and muffled compared to their Japanese banks, which limits their range and what genres they can sing, yet people still try...

    SynthV Synthesizer V Studio 2

    Shun's demo threw me for a loop, because he sounds so much like a theoretical Kaito SynthV, but at the same time he sounds closer to Naoto Fuga's actual singing voice rather than how Kaito is processed in the Vocaloid engine. I keep losing track of the Dreamtonics Alphabet voices because...

    I'm genuinely surprised there was even an atmosphere where you couldn't criticise Maghni in certain circles, because this forum was already voicing concerns about the lofty scope of the project almost as soon as it was announced. I understand fans of the PowerFX/VocaTone banks were desperate for...

    I was just going to post my own thoughts about Vocaloid lost media until I saw the discussion! But my thoughts are more boring - mainly, I feel there's a lot of time being spent on songs that are either not that interesting or are just plain crap. I've listened to some songs that have been...

    I know comparing VBs is really old hat these days, but Mo Yi sounds like Tianyi!

    Late reply, but I kinda agree in that I think KEI's art was very reflective of the era he originally drew the Cryptonloids, to the point that it now gets listed under the Frutiger Aero aesthetic. But nowadays, his designs are outdated and have long been surpassed by iXima's art. I also highly...

    VOCALOID Hatsune Miku VOCALOID6

    Both my 11-year old and and 29-year old selves are losing it at Miku singing an English version of Ballade! 😭 Saying that, Miku V6 has a lot of CeVIO-style fuzziness when she sings English (most prominent in Ballade, but not so much in POPS), but we all know V6's crosslang is not as good as...

    VOCALOID VOCALOID FAN-ding: Vocaloid crowdfunds supported by Yamaha

    In all fairness, I assumed a few months ago that if another Vipperloid would show up on V6 (or elsewhere), it would be a famous one like Ruko or Ritsu. Ruko would be an amazing counterpart to VBs like Iroha and Flower if they were on a commercial engine.

    VOCALOID Hatsune Miku VOCALOID6

    I've already said before that the V6 design looked more like a Project Diva module than a commercial product design, and this mod just proved it for me lol.

    VOCALOID VOCALOID FAN-ding: Vocaloid crowdfunds supported by Yamaha

    I literally made a prediction nearly three months ago that at least one other Vipperloid would be ported to a commercial synth this year, and I was right lol.

    Poorly-Received Vocaloid Designs?

    I've already been beaten to the punch with some examples, but I'll still paraphrase which boxart dramas I can remember here: I agree that Sweet Ann's and Big Al's original boxarts are probably the closest thing the fandom has to a widely reviled, "So Bad, It's Horrible" boxart! The Gemvox VBs...
