Unfortunately I don't think the new SV is Kaito's voice provider
No.27247
Honestly would've expected this to happen to Miriam first, especially out of all the v1 voices too.
Even if the theory’s true, it doesn’t automatically mean trouble with Crypton. There's always been wiggle room for different takes from the same VP (Tone Rion and Nemu) or the same voice with optimizations built for different engines (Tsuina’s V6 and Una's Sugar and Spicy VBs, versus both of their SynthVs). To say nothing of countless UTAU voice providers who switch over to a different character once they're on a commercial engine.
Like >27203 asked, if it's not advertised as Kaito and it doesn't serve the same niche as Kaito (Shun being more realistic AND oriented to a specific genre), could it still even be considered Kaito from a legal/commerce standpoint? Kaito, officially, still sounds very mechanical, and I don't typically see producers push him to the absolute limits of his range like that.
The hilarity of this situation by itself makes me seriously consider getting Shun. Doesn't matter to me if he’s Kaito or not, I already like some of the other kinda-theatrical voices (Lang Chuan, Solaria, etc.) on SynthV to begin with. If anything, this just gives me inspiration to do stuff with him, and with the letter vocalists, you need all of that you can get.
No.27249
>>27220Should be important to note that his final posts were health related and it’s most likely he’s been focused on his health than posting.
He’s also still seeing frequent work in the industry. For all we know, he’s going to a recording studio for something else.
Idk about you but 2 months is a credibly short time to develop a commercial voicebank. Considering everything the teams been working on, I want to say if anything, the recordings were likely done between December and January. Not saying a team can’t make a bank in that short a time, it’s more so just the fact that there’s different standards and practices that come to mind in terms of commercial developments.
There’s a lot of other factors against the possibility of him voicing the character, but the main thing to really consider is that we have an alternative available which is nice to have.

No.31052
>>31051Eleanor still was the most popular Engloid of the early, pre-Teto SV era.
No.31054
>>31052This isn't saying much though, since Engloids were never very popular. Pretty sure Gumi dominated every single Engloid even when it comes to English songs. In my mind, when I think of English songs I still associate them most with Gumi, even though it's probably supposed to be Teto now.
I love Eleanor so much, she could've been the perfect Engloid.. She had the voice, the design and the engine for it. She could've been the Engloid Miku.. I feel like she didn't kick off because she couldn't japaneesy well, and because the design was made to be a bit too mature. Or maybe the voice was too soft?
She had (and is still having!) a good run though, I'm really glad Eleanor is one of the more successful Engloids.
No.31055
>>31054I would say a big part of her not kicking off was because (afaik) pre-SV2 era her only available voicebank wasn't allowed to be used commercially. It's a shame because if I was a producer of the time I would've absolutely had a field day using her in my songs given the chance. Hell even now I still would but I prefer the sound of her lite VB and even if it's not impossible to get permission to use it nowadays according to ippo.tsk the process still seems like a pain to me and more trouble than it's worth. Eleanor really has just gotten shot in the foot too many times in her lifespan.
No.31058
>>31055Yes and no. I can’t entirely remember the deal back during the R1 says but you could make money with her on SV1 without ever needing to reach out to Animen. Heck, her standard lite was the only one you could do this with as a lite. You just needed to own the pro editor really.
The tricky part is that you could only make so much before you needed to contact Animen. I can’t remember if it was $500 or $1000 was the limit.

Hopefully JP (and Asian producers in general) will start to realize most drama and outrage on Western side of the internet is just manufactured and start to ignore them completely.

>>34398This would be huge, especially for the korean side of the fandom
>>34401I'd be surprised if they released it on V6 instead of SV considering they released Uni SV not long ago. But at the same time I could see them doing it to avoid a lawsuit like with UNI.

>>34398They said it was impossible.
SeeU new voicebank in 2027, mark my words.
No.34423
>>34408Tbh, because of the scandal, I imagine Korean companies might avoid it all together. Heck, the next UNI bank they didn’t even specify the engine, so there’s fair chance the replacement UNI bank they’re planning might not be on SynthV. Regardless, with the lawsuit in mind, I imagine voice actors might be more wary of the engine, so avoiding anything to make talents turn down an opportunity is essential.
Not saying SynthV is entirely off the table, but the reputation in Korea is definitely rough. It would be smarter to reintroduce SeeU on Vocaloid, not just because of the Brand recognition, but to put talents at ease in general. Not to mention adding Korean to V6 could mean Miku Korean and I can see Korean Miku fans going hard with it.
There is VOXFactory as well of course which is also a viable option because it’s an engine from Korea. But while it does seem to be doing well, I’m not sure how well it’s been doing in it’s home demographic.
No.34425
>>34423I think Uni would sound good on VoiSona but idk if that would be their first pick.
Uni VOX Factory might make some sense. I don't love the idea of some vsynth engines being cloud-based and entirely online, but it's a decent engine even so
But like, if a cloud-based singer is discontinued, it's just straight-up gone. See some ACE vocals or VOX Factory's Aimymoon.

A fan of Eleanor Forte is looking into buying her IP and re-releasing her voicebank. Whether something will come out of this or not we'll see.
https://x.com/GaizerDragon/status/2094971942105403466 No.34939
>>34938So you can just do that? You can buy a discontinued voicebank's IP and re-release it?

>>34938Like, with a new VP? or what does that mean exactly
No.35025
>>34938We might be back Eleanorbros...
No.35027
>>34939It’s complicated. There’s a lot we don’t exactly know about Eleanor’s rights situation. It’s either Animen had full control of her IP or Animen only had a license and Dreamtonics is still the owner of her IP. All we can really do is wish these guys luck and see if they’re successful.
I have tried reaching out to Animen as press but was unsuccessful so hopefully they hear back and can negotiate.
>>35024I think in the event of a successful licensing deal or IP transfer they’ll get the contact information for her VP if she’s happy working with the new holders. The bottom line they want to do is keep her on sale so SV1 might return to sale at the very least if they’re successful.
No.35028
>>35027I do admittedly have a lot of thoughts regarding this, but bottom line I do hope they’re successful and if they do make a new bank it surpasses my expectations. As much as I accepted her fate long before it occurred, I do still wanna see her get a proper last hurrah.

>>35029I unfortunately don't think it's that simple. Gotta see how Elly's IP purchase goes first, also.
No.35047
>>35029Even if it was that simple, Miriam isn’t an IP as much as it’s an extension of Stockley’s brand. I think we have more hope in her voicing a new bank in general.
Sonika is an IP but it’s not as simple as just buying an IP. Zero-G has to want to sell her. Not to mention negotiating.
