Yeah, she's not my cup of tea but it's always exciting to get a new voicebank. Especially with how deafeningly silent Yamaha was for the longest time.
What are you guys talking about? Where can I find more info about that Fuiro?
The main complaint I'm seeing is that she sounds too flat, but for we know, it could be a case of Yamaha not doing enough tuning. I've noticed Yamaha is similar to Dreamtonics in that they undersell their first party VBs when it comes to demos.
I think the fandom was just preparing to make her their punching bang from day 1, no matter how she turned out.
Nah, I mean... I get this one with the context of the contest in mind. Nothing about it has been marketed as a "Character Vocal", the contest was created under the pretext of being a community member's voice, and so far the demos don't sound like a whole lot of philo's incredible cover work. That doesn't mean it can't sound like philo, though, or that the default tone provided by the demos is bad. It may be unrealistic to expect fully-featured usage from a Yamaha demo in the first place as my impression has been that they are generally intentionally bare-bones. I hope she recieves more positive impressions upon release and that using the voicebank is good.
Okay, I'll be honest, I find the feminine hygiene rule a great inside joke though
That part is true, although I can see how it is funny.
I'm pretty sure that in the demos fuiro was finished, since the demos were released so close to he release date
Ohh I see, I still believe the lack of tuning is solely for promotional reasons.
i dunno anything about them, their music just isn't my cup of tea. so when talking about what avanna's known for i prefer for people to bring up porter robinson or something
flatness isn't inherent to an engine but to a vocal and the synthesis method ( concatenative synthesis being more stilted by default ), and genericness being usually the result of the choice of a voice provider ( them having common voicetype ) and the way the voicebank is directed.
