CeVIO CeVIO Discussion Thread

So this article just came out talking about KAFU’s success and PIEDPIPER from Kamitsubaki’s take on it with some interesting insight on the development of the VWP banks.

Most interestingly there’s a tidbit regarding HARU’s development, it seems they’re intending to make her specialised in rap vocals which is a bit unprecedented in commercial vocal synths & definitely a first when it comes to Cevio AI. Makes sense since that’s one of the things Harusaruhi is known for but I’m really interested to hear how they’re gonna pull this off for her Cevio

A rap vocal in Cevio? Lol

 

[morrysillusion]

there wasnt a ci flower specific thread, right?

regardless. new tweet describing an art contest?


unsure of the specifics in the image shown though, im sure it probably says what the prizes are.

 

[Twillby]

First prize is 100,000 yen, a plaque (? not 100% about this one, but it's what I get when I search the term 入賞記念盾), and a "secret" that will be announced later. Second gets a plaque and a secret prize, and third gets a plaque. The finer print at the bottom talks about selection of the winners (if I'm reading it correctly it seems like popularity of the posts on Twitter factor into the decision but the production team gets final say in who wins) and that the winners will be contacted by Twitter DM.

Honestly I'm kind of curious what the secret is. The only thing coming to my mind is "a copy of Ci Flower's bank" but that's probably just because it's the only thing I would really want as a hypothetical prize

 

[morrysillusion]

yeah, im definitely curious what the "secret" prize might be. was hoping some in the first image would hint at it better than the tweets... my guesses would have to be a copy of Ci flower's bank because im not sure what else would be cool enough to keep a secret (tho honestly, if it were her bank, idk why they wouldnt just flat out say it in order to encourage people to join the contest lol)

 

[Twillby]

A part of me wants to rationalize it as, "Oh well clearly they want to do a dramatic voice reveal sometime before the contest ends and they think flat out saying it now would somehow spoil some of the dramatic tension," but at the same time that does feel kinda silly. Plus if she's not coming out until spring, that'd mean they'd be waiting a while... which makes me think "beta access!" but that just feels even weirder to me for some reason X'P WHOOPS I made a mistake and totally misread her release date apologies for that!

Also, I noticed this tweet by Miwasiba and I'm kind of confused about what they're saying because I have no idea what FA means in this context. At first I thought they were entering the contest because they use the hashtag for it and I immediately went, "slkfjsld that's not fair!" but I'm thinking maybe it's promo art? Maybe art for the prizes or something??? Idk

wait isnt she comig out on New year

 

[Rylitah]

FA generally means "fanart" these days, especially from Japanese communities... I dunno if it still applies here since they'd basically be saying they were approached to draw "official fanart," but it's not a standing image so I guess it still applies?

As for the secret, I can't think of why they wouldn't just straight up say they'll receive her product. It sounds like a standard prize for a synth-related contest, but if the secret is something that's not like... the actual product, I can't think of what it could possibly be either. I'm intrigued!

Ahhh my bad, I misread it! You're right. I wasn't familiar with the term 新春 and read the date wrong, sorry! (... sometimes it seems I truly have the weirdest gaps in my Japanese knowledge, I swear orz)

The Voice Actress for Futaba was announced on twitter and it's Misawa Sachika.

 

[YOYo_MAMA]

Small trivia Misawa Sachika voices Aoba Moca of Bandori. She is part of the band Afterglow

View attachment 7111

That makes....3 Vocal Actresses from Bandori who are also voicing a Cevio VB. Granted Futaba is independent managed compared to Popy and Rose. who I am hoping will be implemented in the game once they are released.

 

[YOYo_MAMA]

Here's a video of Misawa Sachika singing naturally, this was released in 2016

 

[sapplerx]

Minato to be released on December 2, 2022

[blackout]

Minato got a full demo:


I like her! She’s far from groundbreaking when it comes to her voice type in Cevio AI but she sounds good and fairly HQ with a nice design. Looking forward to her release

 

[peaches2217]

She’s like Tsudumi on the more mature settings I use for her, except by default. Ah, I can’t wait to see how she can be pushed!

 

[aru ii]

Not too excited for her, but I do like her more than tsudumi ai so far

 

[poser]

she sounds like a slightly less nasally ONE to me, but i still like her. hope success for her<3

 

[pico]

Namigroove's demo for Minato dropped, funky as always.

I don't think this is the voice or character for me, but I think she'll be a good choice for those for whom she is. I do like the almost Windows 7 aero/bubbles/nature/gloss aesthetic associated with her promotional materials.

New demo for KoKo
