The whole talk was soooo nice and interesting :miku_lili::prima_lili: They started talking about the early development versions of Vocaloid, with the Daisy codename, and then they explained in details all the various versions made during the years, talking about Miku NT too. And at 1:33:45, there is a preview of a Miku assistant app, still an early version, but the demonstration was very impressive, because all her talk and cute singing was made in real time. The app was running on Windows PC, but it can work on smartphone too. It was a very nice surprise, and from what they said during the presentation (and after it), they plan for a release date around 2027 for Miku 20th Anniversary, but timing can change because still in development. It's a program made for all Miku fans, her model is the Crypton original one, language model all made by Crypton, and they hope it can be a help for producers too, since it could work together with NT and Vocaloid6 engine for helping to tune the song, giving some suggestions or explaining how the features of NT and V6 work. Made together with Yamaha, for all the fans and creators. More details in the next weeks!:una_lili:
