Flood gates of Rikka demos has just been opened... quite literally:
All songs either showing her AI or Standard banks. TOKYO6 went all out on demos for sure!!!
Ah I dunno how long it's been there and also it's not up on the servers yet but if you'll go to her ah-soft page it looks like they're planning on having web demo version of Rikka 
I also have looked at her page stated that the lite versions are also being prepared!

I sat on this! Thoughts are:
I like how her AI and Standard are faithful to one another! With tiny bit of editing you can't even tell them apart! I was afraid it'd be like Saki but then again Saki standard is prolly the worst SV vb from technical standpoint so that probably played a role.
Another thing I like about her is how you can push her in either more husky and mature direction or clear and cutesy one...judging by these demos...I think I know which one people will gravitate towards
but the option is there! And she sounds great either way!
And I did think so beforehand but now I feel more confident in saying her voice has a lot more power than her design suggests but on the other hand she seems to have quite poor reaction to what appears to be low tension/bre judging by these demos, she gets very buzzy in those instances, especially in KEI's song but I'm looking to explore her in more heavier genres anyways and since she worked in that one ballad-y song her neutral voice appear to be versatile enough!

I'm really surprised how much these demos changed my opinion on Rikka. Before I thought she was kinda boring and didn't really like her voice but now.. she's truly growing on me. I like her both in more mature and more cutesy, she doesn't sound grating at all. Seems like she's a very versatile vocal that works with many many genres. Very positively surprised!
She sounds so amazing *o* And I also love her Engrish in one of her demos, it sounds really good !
Definitvely my top fave SynthV-loid with Saki and Haiyi

Woow, I’ve probably never seen so many demos for a “single”(well, two technically ) voicebank being released altogether, that’s amazing!
I think they really are necessary though considering her voice, she seems really “customizable” in a certain way, like, idk, she “sounds” kind of like a “white canvas” to me, leaving up to you the color(s) you may want her to sing in!
I think she’s quite interesting and I’m really curious about how various users will make use of her voice
(And that KEI song is a ++ for me
)

I am really pleased with her voice! I can definitely hear the buzzing previously mentioned in those super soft tones but I think she will be an excellent addition to the SynthV arsenal. I was already incredibly excited about her when the design was originally announced (the classic 'anime girl' with a twinge of edginess is really neat) and I look forward to listening to more music. They really pulled out the stops with these demos.
in general ive been quite pleased with almost everything coming to Synth V- Rikka isnt my type in terms of how much I'd want to use a voice like her but that isnt to say anything negative, quality and all sounds great and the way she can sound a bit different between uses does make me excited to see how users will push her depending on the songs or genre. in general it just makes me look forward to what else may be coming for Synth V, because i already love a lot about the actual software
That's quite consumer friendly and I think it'll help cut down in piracy (mostly from folks who want to try her out before purchasing her)
Her lite vbs are out c:
Livestream about Rikka's birthday is to be held on the 22nd, approximately 30 hours from the time of this post.
Also, this was tweeted:
Is this Rikka...? The outfit and hairstyle are different, and so is the logo (it has a tophat vs Rikka's which doesn't have anything between the ears). Not sure if this is a new design or if they'll be announcing a new character. I'm leaning (and hoping) towards the latter.

Rikka is getting a girlfriend. Thats the whole event.
But seriously, who is this character?
Probably a classmate. And every year they will just keep increasing. More and more school girls.
From her pose/hair style, she seems like she'd be kinda nerdy or shy or something.

Imagine like 30 banks of just school girls.... thats oversaturation!
I won't rest until she's got at least five more classmates, that way I can make them sing the Sakura Trick OP together. That's my one and only request. 
Hoping the new girl is that one girl that draws anime in the corner.
