You didn’t make an extreme statement at all. He’s objectively skilled and has a highly developed style even if it isn’t to personal taste.

The renaissance has been ongoing! Far before Mesmerizer! It is just reaching new audiences overseas now!

I'm sort of curious if the prevalence of Miku's popularity outside of Japan is correlated mostly to which songs top the charts the most (or rather, which songs top the charts by the largest margin). I am not sure how accurate this is, but when I do occasionally come in contact with the wider...

@parallax_fifths FWIW I can hear the squeak. I don't think I've personally encountered this in the software so far so not sure about reproducibility but I concur that this is a problem and that it would be worth a bug report.

Yes, I loved those! I loved the Isotope comics too. It made me really happy that they hired minotake to do it, since they had been making very good general vocal synth art for a long time.

I think there's something to be said for the value of continuing investment and promotion on vocals. Ideally, these companies want 'fanon' to take hold and for the character investment to subsist on itself. At the same time though, in a highly saturated market, demonstration of continued...

Is your question about moving project files from SV2 to SV1? Project files contain data that tells the engine what notes and dynamics you want it to sing. It doesn’t contain any “singing” by itself. The actual methodology for XLS is contained in the engine software. The “style” of the singing...

Yes, they are expected to have a limited amount of impact on the generation, but not much. The expression pad in particular will not do much to SV1 vocals because they do not have the "guts" to interact with this feature. See this page in the manual which has a table detailing the SV2 feature...

just wanted to say I think this is a GREAT idea and a great way to set personal goals and drive improvement. subscribed, keep going

Will need to dig in further to create solid thoughts on how I feel about the audible characteristics of this new engine and the nitty gritties of the features, but I'm actually fucking stoked right now. Was not expecting that, at all. The posts I saw down the grapevine from friends made me think...

I am glad they have stuck to their "community update" schedule thus far. Similar to what was expressed earlier, I'm not sure how much of it was highly enlightening-- good for increased clarity, more information, but also, what it is, is effectively more promises being made and more quantitative...

I think people want to support their friends, optimistically encourage development in the community, and root for things that are trying to bring to them what they want to see. There are plenty of folks out there, that love the announced and teased vocals, and therefore are excited about a...

It's bleak

I don't personally agree with the assessment that it sounds "glitchier", but it is absolutely very different.

I personally thought the majority of XLS felt terribly monotonous between vocals. High quality and clear in an americentric way yes but I’m not sure putting national accents in the background and scrubbing away the character of the vocalist in that way was necessarily correct either. To be...

Tonally I don't think it diverges meaningfully from the rest of NT2, but as a user I do think I would prefer for the color of the voice to be more extreme ("darker"). I think it will be the same as NT2 'original' where the voice is fuller/rounder than NT1 in the mix, but yeah, I think the main...

I've warmed to Miki's new design immensely, I think it's so cute. At first I was so-so but mostly positive, enough time has passed and now I'm sold. Lol. I love designs that are a little quirky and pull too heavily on 'technological' imagery but are still cohesive like this. I think it's the...

I'm disappointed too but I also don't know how this could be a surprise, SV's linux build has always been poorly supported. We have never been Dreamtonics' priority

I don't think what you're implying is necessarily what this statement means. When I see these kinds of discussions happen in communities, whether technical, fandom, creative, etc... it's not a statement of "don't dive deeper", it's an anti-gatekeeping gesture that attempts to meet new members of...

The performance improvements, the phoneme timing/strength changes, the improvement to soft/whisper voices, and the 4-axis vibrant/refined/stable/raw expression controls are very very important for me as an end user, so I am very pleased. My perspective on it being marketed as "a new version"...
