Woaaaaah, I like her voice ! =o She sounded exactly how I've imagined her to sound like when talking.... Singing is a bit more higher-pitched and youthful though, but still pleasant~

They showcase singing at 56:40 and talking at 1 hour and 3 mins in.

Omgggg! I LOVE her!! Also that demo song is a bop!!

Personal thoughts: As a voicebank she sounds good, with a nice touch of emotion coming through from the AI.

However, in the grander context of the current wave of vocal synths, I feel that these voicebanks are continuing to risk redundancy in terms of what they offer producers. I'd like to see more risk taking, but I don't expect it from TOKYO6, considering they're committed to the classic school idol gimmick.

Hasn't this been considered a problem since the V3 era of Vocaloid? Because I remember people complaining about V3 voicebanks sounding too "samey" back in the day (though the routine glut of releases didn't help.)

Going back on topic, is it just me or does Karin's SynthV sound a bit like ONE?

I personally predict she's gonna be pretty popular on NicoNico. Idk what it is about her, other than the fact that her VB sounds pretty darn realistic and actually expressive, but something just tells me shes gonna be pretty successful. Demo songs are pretty cool, too.

 

[lIlI]

To me, Karin captures a very 'Miku-like' essence, while still standing out in her own right, making her a good addition to SynthV. She has a cute voice, but with a peppy edge and heavy realism. She has a similar design theme to Miku, but it's more grounded. I don't know if she'll be a huge breakthrough, as we've had fairly similar voices and designs before - and it's possible she'll be too normal to be memorable; but I wouldn't be surprised if she was successful.
