Synthv - Tumblr Posts
Still waiting for my download. In the meantime, I learned that GUMI was added to SynthV last month.
On one hand, cool. More GUMI is always awesome. Internet Co. isn't abandoning Vocaloid GUMI, either, so it will be interesting to see how each one will evolve over time.
On the other, I listened to the VOCALOID6 and SynthV demo songs side by side, and I still think Vocaloid GUMI sounds better than SynthV GUMI. Maybe it was just the tuning in the SynthV demo, though; there was SO MUCH vibrato.
I dunno. What do you guys think?
Within the first 6 months of release, AI Megpoid's sales outsold of all of GUMI's other voicebanks, including Megpoid V4 Complete, with more purchases via music stores than ever before.

While I'm still hyperfixating on Vocaloid and other vocal synths, I just want to rant about something.
See this YouTube thumbnail?
This thumbnail exemplifies a trend in the vocal synth community that really bothers me.
I get that SynthV has some amazing, realistic outputs. I understand that VOCALOID6 was disappointing to some people, especially those who like hyper-realistic vocal synths. However, I think this approach to criticizing VOCALOID (and other software by extension) comes off as unnecessarily combative.
There is certainly fair criticism of VOCALOID6 that should be discussed (looking at you, Vocalo-Changer), but it veers into more personal territory when you start pitting the mascots against each other. I get that this is often done as a joke, and it can be funny when executed well. It's just that some people also use this as a semi-serious way to promote their software of choice/disparage others. It's not the be-all end-all of annoying fandom behavior, but it gets under my skin nonetheless.
There's also a very small but very loud minority who will straight-up call you stupid if you like anything other than their preferred software. No one likes those people. The person who made this thumbnail is not part of that group, and I don't think they intend to start any serious drama. They're just trying to get views for their video. Please don't attack them.
I guess my larger point is, no one should feel like they're being mocked for their preferred vocal synth software. Each one has its unique strengths and weaknesses. It's okay to have your preferences, and it's okay (heck, more than okay) to criticize/want better of corporations and their products. It's just not fun when this criticism turns inflammatory toward fans of these products, who are not the original targets.
That's all.
I like this video.
It's a good showcase of the differences between GUMI V6 and GUMI SynthV since the tuning is done by the same person for each of them--and it's well-made all around.
Ayo? Another new V6?
I think this is a V6 version of the SynthV character Tsuina-chan. Not entirely sure, but the designs look similar enough.
I have offerings for the vocal synth fandom
I have a Spotify playlist that is currently a little over 34 hours long that is completely vocal synth songs and covers
I add to it in bulk when I'm in the mood, so if there's any recommendations then feel free to tell me

I feel like drawing some more vocal synths but I need some inspiration!! So feel free to drop some requests in my ask box!
You can also include specific outfits or songs you specifically want that character drawn into!
not satisfied doing it once, i went there and did the trend traditionally this time, only for something entirely different to come out of it.
