WE KNOW NOTHING! nonetheless:
So far, a Spanish operatic vocalist and an English screamo vocalist.

huh. for some reason i did not even register it as Spanish wen i first listened i realize.... probably because that sort of opera singing i associate with english (or italian) rather than spanish, and was not thinking thatd be the language sung (i find opera style singing to be hard to understand at times too so that doesnt help). which is probably worth noting. hopefully, we will see some improvements through testing and development.

They have names and a webpage now (Hxvoc* and Galenaia). Tiny bit of a mouthful but I strongly appreciate Eclipsed's commitment to unique names with good SEO, searching for content from Anri, Jun, and Selena drives me bananas.
*Pronounced 'havoc'

kinda wish they went with different spelling for HXVOC as the missing "a" keeps making me read h-voc or hex-voc instead lol... like, HAVK (HAVXC? idk) or something. i see people uses x's for aesthetic to fill vowels but i just never read a vowel there
My brain refuses to read his name as anything other than HVAC. I think he will sound better than an air conditioning unit though. lol
Ate, no crumbs, the plate itself was devoured. I am seated, glued to my chair, ready for more, and my wig was snatched.
Just reading this I had flashbakcs of La Montserrat
New sample of Hxvoc! That boy can YELL.
And Galenaia too!
Someone there please tell me if they have vocal modes outside their specified genres, I'm curious.

popping in here to make a 'i just when to NAMM' post.
the version of hxvoc and galenaia at the show were not actually their newest/most recent developed versions as they couldnt get the newest builds on the lap tops. i mainly was paying attention to hxvoc as the other ppl around were listening to galenaia, and i got to hear a demo cover that has not been shared to social media yet (at least when they told me a few hours ago, they hadnt. its a linkin park cover!).
but bc i was focused on hxvoc i can only speak on him:
hes apparently the one voice they have had in development the longest. about 2 years-- before NYL and SAROS! he likely would have just been released for SV1 but SV2 started development and kind of just came in at a time where it seemed appropriate to release him for SV2 instead. he also does have some rap data (which i was able to get a feel of with the linkin park cover).
sadly i did not get to peek more at the other things like parameters, but the demo cover i heard had more tones in it that the screaming type, which gives me the idea that hes got some other vocal modes in there thatll take away some of that screamy sound and make him decently flexible for other sounds (and tbh i think SV2's new functions w timbre, pronunciation, and pitch w vocal modes will help a lot w that too).

That's really cool, I'm extremely jealous of all the NAMM visitors.
The biggest reason I'm wondering about 'normal' vocal modes is Galenaia, and the Spanish vocal synth community. I know they're desperate for a new all-rounder voice, and more native data to improve SynthV's Spanish overall. I'm worried Galenaia won't be able to provide those things if she's exclusively operatic.
I wonder if any other companies have Spanish voices down the line? Perhaps ES knows Audiologie has a Spanish pop girl in the works.

while obviously this is still all speculation, i dont doubt the possibility that Galenaia would have the ability to sing "non-operatic" to some extent mainly because we have already seen operatic vocals who have the ability to do so (depends on how you look at it. Feng Yi tho her opera mode is seperated and Cheng Xiao... well, kind of Cheng Xiao. her accent is very strong.). but like... she IS being advertised as a opera vocal, so thats what shes gonna be, and i think any part of her trying to sing outside of that type will not deviate much from what she already sounds like (perhaps the new tools in vocal modes will give more control over this, at least more so than what would be available in SV1).
i do want to see more neutral spanish vocals as much as anyone else but, it doesnt make sense to put that expectation on Galenaia when shes just not being shown as that. It would be a nice surprise to see strong flexibility in her voice but i dont think it should be expected and i cant understand when fans think this way... idk why people would be sitting around expecting her to fufill that role when she is advertised to not be that. "An elegant operatic vocal designed primarily for classical usage" should make it p clear to fans what she's made for imo. people are undeniably gonna be mad if/when she turns out like this but it shoulnt be a surprise :/
