Rin and Len act1, while having worse programming/sounding choppier, are actually a lot clearer and livelier-sounding than act2. Something like this is achievable with Rin for example, where you'd normally have to use her Power append. They basically traded smoothness for them becoming more muffled as voicebanks, which is usually a good trade, but it does create a distinction that makes act1 desirable.

I noticed that Miku Chinese is actually not on Sonicwire anymore? I wonder if they took it down to switch the installer since the update or something. I was planning to buy her soon, and I went to double check her price since the update reminded me, but I couldn’tbfind her on English or Japanese Sonicwire...
I wonder if her boxes are still up? Nonetheless, her disappearance from Sonicwire is interesting to note especially with this update to her

Don't forget that on the 25th in Japan, there will be more information about new Piapro. When the Miku Chinese news happened, USA people were in the Discord at 1/2 am to talk about it. I assume that the news on the 25th will also be around the same time. So, uh, I'm personally gonna have my phone tweet alerts wake me up in the dead of night so I can translate if needed.
Hatsune Miku NT demo:
Website: HATSUNE MIKU NT（初音ミク NT） | SONICWIRE
Press release: 『初音ミク NT』2020年夏発売決定！ 本日12月25日よりダウンロード製品の予約受付を開始！
In all shortness, prototype release in mid-March and full release in late August (most likely on Miku's birthday). Reservations for the download product to be released in August begin now. Reseevations for physical copies are planned to begin in summer.
I don't have time to go through the whole press release now, so have a google translate excerpt of the NT features:

Somebody will probably go through the new info more carefully soon

Wat updated his Twitter profile finally. No more people getting confused and thinking his description especially was relevant and not many years old.
New banner, new icon, new description.
I thought Newtype was referring to the magazine and was confused/thought there would be an interview or something with that otaku magazine.
Interesting! NT seems to be somewhat soft, but not as soft as an actual Soft bank. I'm so curious for them to drop more info! :D
She looks so GOOD. And while it’s not quite enough to tell for sure, she sounds a little more mature to me. Still youthful and high-pitched, but with a bit more skill to back her voice up. If that makes sense?
She sounds higher pitch like a low gen setting. She sounds clearer. Would like to see the interface. She sounds a different kind of robotic.
E? AAA sou original for comparison.
She sounds lower gen but sounds more natural singing. It's growing on me. Interesting choice for a demo song.
I wonder if this is supposed to sound like v2 original voice bank I also wonder if they share the same base samples.

Idk if it's just me, or the engine noise sounds very much like DeepVocal's

So reading the product page, it sounds sort of similar to V5's deal, where it claims you can do all the different vocal styles in-editor. From "sighs" to cute, mature, "death" voices, etc. Which makes me think the two unrevealed banks will be English and Chinese, rather than Japanese append banks. Standalone Piapro and Studio One coming with her are good, and people who "book" her will get her in March, slated for a late August release. I wonder if people who "book" her now will pay extra if they want a physical preorder, which doesn't start till summer apparently?
Overall it's very interesting, but I'm going to wait and see before dropping almost $200. As people have pointed out, she does have a bit of buzziness/engine noise to her, and if it's anything like V5 then it might be their version of "exciter" which adds buzz to the voices. And my concern is that you can kind of hear it in the demo where she's singing fairly softly, so I wonder how strong it would be if you did add actual power to her.
But of course, she isn't finished yet. Somewhere around beta, yes? And she still sounds clear and smooth. So I look forward to updates!

I'm gonna compare the ENG and JP versions of the product listing before commenting on the matter.

It's spesification is somewhat looked alike V5, and V5 have not much interest because it's harder to use, often lag, or something. Hmmm
(I think it would be nice if the first song to show this new version was "01_ballade"... It was Miku's first demo song, as a Vocaloid2 so it could have been a throwback to the older fans.)
Anyway, glad they finally showed how this new engine will sound! Curious to see how other Cryptonloids will sound as well in it. I think Miku sounds a bit robotic at some parts but I guess it's understandable if it's not a finished voicebank.
I'm more interested in hearing the English version, I'm hoping she will sound more like V2 and not like one of her appends. imo V4 sounds like Miku Vivid and V3 sounded like Miku Dark. It would actually be interesting if they tried to kept those versions as actual appends this time, with the new English version being the "main" voicebank.

I really, really hope it will be able to run on my computer. I think I would have liked V5 if I could have actually used it. If my computer couldn’t run Piapro and I couldn’t use their future VBs, I don’t think my heart could take it.
Another thing I noticed is it says you need to have internet connection at all times.

Here is a bigger picture of the interface:
The new buttons actually look extremely confusing. ConRate, HOS, Votage, Flutter, PPS EFX????
Edit: Can't unsee DVL Parameters = Devil parameters.

Another thing, you need:
1) Internet connection at all time
2) i5 core processor (means you need at least 4 cores, can't be a single or dual core)
^ can check it by Ctrl + Alt + Delete > Performance tab > see red circle
3) 4 GB of ram (8 GB preferred)
^ can check by going to the location circled in red and checking the part circled in orange
4) Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 (that rules out anybody still using like.. Windows 7 or XP or something)
5) A modern monitor (1280 x 768)
I am so glad I already upgraded to Studio One 4 Pro during Black Friday in order to get third party VST support, for example. Phew.
Also, I am dying about this whole beta Miku thing. I didn't think I would buy Miku any time soon (she was never on my wishlist of vocal synth characters), but I feel compelled to pre-order, because I don't want to be sitting here for who knows how long watching everyone else try out the new Piapro. Plus, her final version doesn't come out until AUGUST. That is 8 months away. I wonder if we are going to hear about any of the other Cryptonloids that entire time? Maybe at least their preorder dates? So painful, wow. OTL Arg, I wanted to buy Kaito but will it even happen in 2020 or will it end up being 2021? What if they all have beta versions. AAAHHHH!!!!!!! I was hoping they would have sold them all at once. I guess staggering is good because they had issues with singing and Miku sounded the best, but ugg, oof.
