Low pitch Kafu
No.14140
Used to prefer low-pitch Rin, but can't imagine her as anything other than high-pitched Miku now since the only new neru exposure I got for years was OwataP.

I think low pitched Rin suits her more than high pitched Miku considering she's grumpy and a bit of a hothead

Always wondered why Neru was high pitch Miku instead of low pitch like Haku
No.17464
Low pitch Rin fits her design but i guess high pitch Miku is the one people are most familiar with due to all the songs

I have been wondering a while now what Neru would sound like if it was a midpoint of both like how Rei's voicebank was made.

No.17597
>>17497I had always wished that she got a voice of her own. She could have been the first Adachi Rei but with dial tones. Perhaps being a pitchloid makes more sense to keep the connection with Miku clearer though. Smith Hioka-san if you ever see this please respond if you had considered this before.

>>17597This might not be the answer you were hoping for, but until very recently, I felt that I didn't have the authority to decide anything regarding Akita Neru's voice.
To begin with, even though her outfit is based on Hatsune Miku, I didn't intend to create a "Vocaloid" (vocal synth) character at the time. I considered her to be more of a "gijinka" (personification) character.
Later, when people started using pitch manipulation to give her a voice, I decided it was best to leave that to the creators' imagination, so I avoided commenting on it myself.
Above all, as the person who drew her, I honestly didn't have a concrete image of what her voice should sound like.
So, for me, whether it was a "pitchloid" voice or the dial tones heard in "Triple Baka," I saw them both as valid ways to express Neru. I didn't see one as superior to the other.
I am, of course, conscious of her connection to Miku, but I never felt her voice had to be based on Miku's. This is because Akita Neru is treated strictly as a visual work (in legal terms, an "artistic work").
Sorry for the long reply, but to answer your question about whether I had considered a mechanical voice concept: the answer is that I never actually had a plan to make her into a singing software in the first place.

NEO is the closest thing we'll probably get to a Neru voicebank. It's not official, but as far as I know it seems to have Hioka's blessing.
I think this voice fits her.

>>25697Of course, I’m proud of her.
At the same time, I try to be careful not to let that go to my head, or to think of it as something I accomplished on my own.
The fact that so many people have come to know her is thanks to CFM, who agreed to such a generous arrangement, the creators who continue to make fan works, and the many Neru fans who have supported her.
As for me, I think I was simply blessed with a level of good fortune far beyond what I deserve.

No.27595
>>27593Not that i'm aware of. Hioka has said this many times, but Neru was never meant to have a voice in the first place, she was intended as a gijinka/personification of the Miku censorship drama from back in the day. So he's never given her a "canon voice".
I'd say NEO is the first attempt at giving her an actual voice but even with Smith Hioka's approval it's still a non canon voice and fanmade on top of that.
