Turns out that they will start crowdfunding in late January for Zunko's... Neutrino???
This lolFingers crossed this wont be Kiritan soft append.
I know she'll be quality, because both Kiritan and Itako sound fantastic. The issue I have is that they sound nearly interchangeable; not even in the sense of "They sound like Appends of the same VB", more like "They sound like the same VB with slightly different parameter settings". I just worry Zunko will fall into the same pitfall, and, ultimately, Neutrino will trade distinction and character for realism, for all three of them.I think there'll be nothing to worry about. Kiritan sounds the way she does because it wasn't really Kiritan they were aiming for; it was just her VP singing a bunch of I believe idol songs and they just called it Kiritan because it technically is her voice, and NEUTRINO didn't exist at the time. They were just throwing it out there for whoever wanted to utilize it.
Itako was and Zunko will be much more focused, so I don't think there should be any problem with how Zunko turns out.
Oh, I wasn't saying anything about quality. I was talking about how Zunko most likely won't sound like Kiritan because Kiritan wasn't really made to be "Kiritan," it was just her VP singing as herself and labelled as Kiritan because... well, she is Kiritan ;; There are more Neutrino voices than Kiritan and Itako, and they're distinct from them. I'm sure Zunko will be distinct.I know she'll be quality, because both Kiritan and Itako sound fantastic.

Itako's NEUTRINO had a crowdfunding campaign and she was released for free, so I'm certain Zunko also will be free.Zunko's Neutrino crowdfunding starts tomorrow, aaand I still don't know if this is even going to be sold as a commercial product or not? Neutrino sounds really cool, but I hope that it develops into a more realized, usable program instead of some weird executable xml to wav file converter before then... Wondering what their intentions are at this point. I also haven't heard anything Kiritan Cevio AI as of late, I'm wondering why Zunko wasn't developed for Cevio AI instead..
