Eclipsed Sounds is releasing 2 new vocals for SynthV 2 soon! Hxvoc is a rock/metal vocal which seems to have a dedicated growl function, and Galenaia is an operatic vocal, like old V2 Prima!
I pre-ordered Asterian when he was released a couple years back and have enjoyed using him since, so I'm hoping he & their other vocals get an update too.
>>484Kaito took a very long time to grow on me despite now being my favorite for almost a decade for exactly this reason. His voice is beautiful, but many struggle with the tuning and mixing, either due to only being familiar with working with female voices, or not wanting to put in the extra time and attention to get a better result. Working with him over the years, I've come to find many quirks when using him, but almost all of them can be worked around, given enough creativity and determination.
Other male vocals struggle with the same user-level issues, but he seems to get it the worst. Even his voice preview snippets in Piapro Studio are horrifically out of his range…
Noel de Figaro by Nyanyannya is one of the best examples I've found of songs which showcase Kaito's versatility.
>>1048The proportions are okay on their own, but off-putting for Miku. She has the Jerma physique, lol. I've never played fortnite, but it always looks janky when I see screenshots.
No.1869
>>1868I have not seen a metal vocaloid since Hakaine Maiko so this is pretty awesome news.
The screams are pretty insane, i had no idea SynthV was capable of powerful vocals like that. I remember back then if people wanted to make vocaloids sing metal they'd put chorus and distortion on the vocals to make it sound like screaming.
Also Kaito is great indeed, i hate how he sounds in Project Sekai though, the SP (which butchered basically everybody but Miku) and the poor tuning does not do him justice.

No.1969
Does anybody know if PFX shutting down affects VocaTone in any way? As far as i know they're just a spin off company with some of the original members of PFX and they own the rights to every PFXloid (hence why we're getting AI voicebanks of them at all) but i've heard that people have tried emailing them recently and they've received radio silence which is concerning.

No.3534
>>3521>>3522what I understood from the situation is that ROSA's VP had a bar and she was using zan-shin's funds for her own bar, mostly those related to whiteCUL's. this caused the company to not properly recognize the fuck up and instead tried to ban shirayuki (ROSA's VP) from using their IPs (which is the reason about why the CUL cocktail had to be "censored")
i'm not really good with financial topics, but you can find a twitter thread explaining the situation here:
https://x.com/TakoyakiDonuts/status/1917409242488922332?t=qtZgXkAJSbeaSgJQElh_aQ&s=19thus, all of this mess lead whiteCUL's VP to not get paid at all and she's planning on suing the company, even if she's getting threatened by zan-shin itself
No.3538
>>3534Will this affect RedCUL in any way? The cocktail being red makes me worry for her
No.3542
>>3538in my opinion, it all depends on how the situation with zan-shin goes. by itself, they are a small company with a small budget, considering that their last VBs were voiced by employees (and in ROSA's case, she was chosen through a contest). whiteCUL's provider is the CBO, while REV uses the CEO (if I'm not mistaken) as a voice provider. now, CUL has eri kitamura, a renowned seiyuu, as a voice, and they probably don't have the budget to work with kitamura again, let alone now with the financial situation they have.
if CUL doesn't come back for a while, it would be because of budget issues, what they did to shirayuki was to revoke the rights of the IPs related to CUL.
so, in short, it all depends on whether the company turns into something worse or not. if they manage to get out of it, CUL would be saved and maybe with enough budget they can re-record her (either with kitamura or a new VP).
that's my outlook!
