VOCALOID IA :[R] ARIA ON THE PLANETES (VOCALOID6)

[Blue Of Mind]

1st Place have announced that IA V6 has been in the works, and will be properly revealed on 15th December!

I've never been a big fan of IA's quality on CeVIO, and it's long bothered me that the only English version of her available was stuck on CeVIO, even though its quality at the time was a bit worse and more tinny than Vocaloid. I'm so glad she's being upgraded to V6 (even though people love to trash it, I'm mainly excited to hear her English cross-lang).

 

[Bookworm2]

Oh! I probably won't get it, but that's neat! I never really liked CeVIO, so I suppose it will be nice to have another IA Vocaloid voicebank. I also hope that her English will be better, but somehow I doubt it will.

 

[BiscuitsandTriscuits]

I actually really love the v6 updates not only because of my major bias for Galaco being my fave voice, but something nostalgic about the quality of the voicebanks like they are lower quality sure but thats the tone I love so I am super excited for IA's return to vocaloid and will contemplate purchasing her if it sounds similar to her v3 uwu (also what happened to h 1st place)

The teaser trailer has now dropped!


The V6 bank is called IA: [R], and the current release date is 27th January 2026. Hopefully, some proper demos will be released shortly.

EDIT: I've just updated the thread title with the name of the V6 bank.

 

[Palamon]

I forgot all about this but I can't get too excited because of the Jin situation with 1st place

 

[Luxie]

This is such an awesome time for VOCALOID. IA and Miku are coming back and Rei’s coming over with her first commerical bank!
I also quite like IA: [R] based on the demo.

[PearlStarLight5]

Her outfit is gonna be dope but what did they do to her hair

classic vocal synthesis news day

 

[Bookworm2]

ia are you kidding me? I wanted more voice samples, not a generic anime silhouette!

 

[BiscuitsandTriscuits]

Normalize revealing a product with a demo my heart can’t handle this nonsense anymore lol

 

[Leon]

The name is odd, but I guess not all that odd for 1st Place. The silhouette is very ONE, and I'm almost sure I won't care for whatever is going on with her legs. But that said... My interest is piqued! So I guess that's marketing done right? lol. Interested to see her design and hear her voice!

 

[WyndReed]

It looks like IA finally hopped on the Crypton detached sleeve trend.

 

[Twillby]

Demo song is out~

 

[Blue Of Mind]

I'm not sure that song was a good choice for a demo, because of how intentionally distorted IA's voice gets on the chorus. The best part to hear her is between 1:42 and 2:19 - there, she sounds like what I expected an IA V6 bank to sound like (similar to her V3, but with V6's engine noise), which may or may not be an issue depending how you want to mix IA's vocals in post-production.
