I got into making music independently from VOCALOID, however I've used the software for about 7 years and have been interested in vocal synthesis for even longer. I don't keep up very much with the news, though I've been hearing about the new AI voices in VOCALOID6 and Synthesizer V.

I personally am more interested in the clunkiness of less polished vocal synthesizers, since I prefer the difficulty it provides (unlike AI voicebanks, which make it easier to have the program tune for you). Other people may think differently, and that's fine.

My current interaction with vocal synthesis is limited. For the most part, I only really hear it when playing rhythm games (ChainBeet, Rizline) and when playing around in various software for this purpose. I plan to write tutorials for people who are interested, but I'm also well aware that most of the engines I come into contact with are outdated. Despite this, I will continue to support those older engines for as long as I can.

A lot of the stuff on here will be work-in-progress, since it's one of the few areas of the site where I never initially had anything really... planned. I also don't usually look at the newer stuff, so a lot of the information here may be considered legacy. If you're interested in these older programs (let's say before 2018 when it comes to VOCALOID), I welcome you with open arms.

My one request is that you don't say I inspired you to pirate... Even if that's more socially acceptable now.
