vocaloid 2009 if i went back and moved a chair

[ad-cn]

It's so unfortunate that KAITO is forever going to be the One Guy in the Piapro group (Len has more of a "young boy" appeal) because he literally does not need to do much to stand out.

Whereas if you have another older male character you can at least work out a contrasting style to explore more masculine expressions. KAITO is stuck there being the sole representation of full-grown masculine outfits out of the 5 other characters in the group.

[rurihana]

You’re NOT gonna believe what just happened to me.

I was trying to get my brothers into cosplay again, right? And I suggested that we all do a group cosplay together. Since I’ve been listening to a lot more Vocaloid than usual lately, I said we could all be the Crypton vocaloids… eeeeeexcept I forgot there’s only six of them. Oh well, right? I was already expecting at least ONE person to refuse the idea, so it’d all work out in the end anyway, RIGHT?

GET THIS! When I showed them the characters, Asmo was immediately like “Oooh, the pink one looks cool and sexy! I’d wanna be her!” which is like, okay, makes sense, sure, he’s Luka. 

Then Beel and Belphie were insistent on being Rin and Len, which also made sense because they’re twins, you know? Things started off fine.

(Mammon kept saying the whole thing was a dumb idea but I saw him looking up Meiko on his phone so lolololol)

Then SATAN of all people mentioned that he was interested in being Kaito?! He said something about how his outfit looked the best to him, I think… I don’t know, I was too shocked to pay attention.

And as if that wasn’t weird enough?!?!?!?! LUCIFER. Said that he wanted to be HATSUNE MIKU. Like, whaaaaaaaaat?!?!?! And he didn’t even elaborate on why, either!!! Though, I guess it’d check out that he’s the most iconic one…? Or something like that.

Either way, I was really happy that everyone actually wanted to cosplay with me! …Until I realized that they'd taken all the available characters and left me with nothing! Am I just unreleased CV04 to you people?!?!

So, my plan was a failure. I’m never asking my brothers for anything again.

seeing people talk about synthv cryptonloids is funny even if im also guilty of it because while cfm is digging themselves in a hole i really dont think theyd resort to a third party they have no history with that their vocals arent built for. even if their decisions are unpredictable if theyre at their lowest point instead of a business decision that’s legible in any way they’d make appends for the v2s or something. NT 6.0. Addon that gives every vocal 1 more breath sample. (snickering) c… cv04

society if CV04 was real

cv04 demo found and salvaged … insane

Daily Kaito Death Wish: Miku absorbs his life force to grow stronger like she did to CV04 - Anonymous on Cohost

[db-39fm]

Just curious -- what does your url stand for?

CV03 is a reference to the vocaloid Megurine Luka - she's labeled as #3 in the Character Vocal series. I go by dB, which is not enough characters for a username like anywhere, so I added it bc I love Luka

(I actually miscalculated which number she was and thought it was CV04 - wow fake fan, but i thought it was Meiko, Kaito, Miku, Luka - 4! im fixing it tho)

vocaloid2 installation guide

vocaloid2 complete library

pick anyone you want and install

--

you probably wont need to restart your computer so you can ignore that prompt if you do im sorry

in case you dont know: the appends are an update/extension to hatsune miku and kagamine rin and len, they are the only append update for vocaloid2 and doing this doesnt erase their original vocals

you also cannot directly use their appends you need to have their original voicebank activated

append tutorial:

if you're lost: go to the folder where vocaloid2 is installed and click activate2.exe

activate hatsune miku or kagamine rin and len though their keygens that are in miku's files

to activate kagamine in order: act 1 then act 2 using the same keygen worked for me (i dont remember if act1 is necessary here sorry abt that)

install their appends

after that,

for every vocaloid2 including the appends do this:

open windows search bar and type regedit

go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\VOCALOID2\DATABASE\VOICE

for any installed vocaloid go into their file you'll see "INSTALLED" from there: right click

modify

set value data to 2

yippe now you have vocaloid2

want vocaloid2 in english? enjoy a video from 2009 ^_^

--

this might solve an install error you have

make sure your locale is japanese

*after having to reinstall vocaloid2 recently the best ways to do this is install the vocaloids you want in order of release, use vy2 install as your final install, or use these as they were the very last public update

the following are 2.0.12

english vocaloid update

japanese vocaloid update

i'm p sure the real last vocaloids for this era if ever leaked and or shared that are would somehow come with some sort of update are gonna range from macha and azuki (only currently available via pocaloid2 by team ASSiGN and their installs are not supported by the legal vocaloid2 software as far as i'm aware), any canceled cryptonloid(CV04, miku english, kaito, meiko, luka), canceled gumi extend, bruno and clara, possible SONiKA taiwan release, and maybe rana's v2 CN patch?

The Tales of Canceled Vocaloids

i've debated whether i should include canceled vocaloids (as in, whole vocaloids not just canceled extra voicebanks like seeu english) on this blog. i think my main worry is that there aren't any facts interesting enough outside of the circumstances of their cancelation.

my solution is: a bonus post! this post compiles facts surrounding the cancelation of many vocaloids. hopefully you can learn something new about the vocaloids that never came to be!

this information, as always, is from the vocaloid wiki. i will list the vocaloids in the order that they are listed on the wiki's list of canceled voicebanks.

the vocaloids included in this post are:

CV04β

REV

Zhanyin Lorra

Ring Suzune and Hibiki Lui

Lucía and LUAN

Zing

H

Yao Luniang

COCOROBO

ALYS (information taken from Alter/Ego Wiki)

CV04β

(no illustration available)

Current Status: Assumed canceled/abandoned

Also known as simply CV04

A masculine Japanese vocal that Crypton Future Media began developing during the VOCALOID2 era. As the name implies, this would be an addition to the Character Vocal series (currently consisting of Miku, Rin, Len and Luka).

Crypton decided to prioritize updating their existing Vocaloids over making new ones.

The unexpected popularity of Hatsune Miku caused many of Crypton's other projects to be set back.

By the time VOCALOID2 was retired, they had not been able to further develop CV04.

REV

Current Status: Confirmed canceled; may move to new engine moved to DeepVocal

REV was made to be a male counterpart to CUL.

Just as CUL was used as a mascot for VY1 during VOCALO Revolution, REV was to be used as a mascot for VY2.

Hiroto-P, who was mainly responsible for CUL's development, wanted to give REV his own voicebank, but for unspecified reasons, was unable to do so.

Depending on the success of upcoming CeVIO voicebank ROSA, development on REV may be picked up again, though likely for CeVIO (just like ROSA) rather than VOCALOID.

UPDATE: REV has a free DeepVocal voicebank currently in beta. This voicebank was released in May 2021. Thanks @utau-bowl for the correction!

Zhanyin Lorra

Current Status: Confirmed canceled

Planned to be a VOCALOID3 release along with Yuezheng Ling.

The two were originally companions. Lorra's biography as told on Vocaloid Wiki is as follows: "a quiet and reticent 16 year old girl who came to the human world from a magical dimension with a mysterious mission. Due to dimensional turbulence, the exit was displaced and she happened to crash into Yuezheng Ling's house. The first time Lorra came to the human world, she was very unfamiliar with her surroundings. [...] With Ling's help, she became a VOCALOID. Lorra has an "eye awakening" ability which can give her an insight to which person has a musical potential and she can activate this potential through her voice, giving it the equivalent of magic."

Lorra was intended to be part of Vsinger, then known as VOCANESE.

A contest was held for her voice provider. Out of four contestants, Gui Xian Ren was chosen, and recording for Lorra was soon completed.

After several months of development, there was an issue found in the voicebank that needed to be fixed.

More time passed, and after VOCANESE rebranded to Vsinger, it was confirmed that the holder of Lorra's character rights was no longer interested in the project. Her rights were bought by a video game company called Joyme Network. For now, she is exclusively used as a character for their games.

Ring Suzune and Hibiki Lui

(sorry. i don't know why they crop like this.)

Current Status: Assumed canceled/abandoned

Born from a 2011 contest called Everyone's Vocaloid. The goal was to bring official Vocaloid products and fan content together by using two fanmade designs to create official Vocaloids.

Finding a voice provider for Lui was difficult, and they never confirmed any voice provider for him. It's assumed that no voicebank ever began production for him.

Ring's voice provider was Japanese singer MiKA. Unlike Lui, her voicebank had reached enough progress for demo songs to be made. A small amount of people received a beta copy of her voicebank set to expire in a month.

Ring was set to release in 2012, but was never sold. It seems no reason was given for this.

Their company, Vocaloid Next, suddenly ceased all activity and their website became inaccessible in 2013. No news or explanation has surfaced.

Lucía and LUAN

(from @AkiGlancy on Twitter; no illustration available for LUAN)

Current Status: Confirmed canceled

Two Spanish VOCALOID4 voicebanks being developed by Giuseppe, who had experience helping develop Vocaloids with Voctro Labs.

Giuseppe attempted to contact several companies to help with the development, including Voctro Labs, but they were not willing to help pay for a VOCALOID license.

Both received a lot of negative feedback. Lucía was criticized for sounding too similar to Clara, and LUAN was criticized for being too low quality.

It was also found that LUAN's voice provider was someone who was subject to a lot of controversy in the Spanish Vocaloid community.

The stress combined with the criticism drove Giuseppe to lash out at Vocaloid fans. He soon deleted his angry comments, LUAN's demo, and any posts related to him or Lucía. Afterward, he closed his social media and retired from Vocaloid, confirming these voicebanks to be canceled.

Zing

Current Status: Assumed canceled/abandoned

A trilingual (Japanese, Mandarin, English) Vocaloid being developed by EXIT TUNES in collaboration with aquatrax.

aquatrax is a video game company. Zing is the mascot of their rhythm game Zyon. At the end of 2016, development began on her VOCALOID4 voicebank.

In 2017, Zing was announced to be an expected Spring 2018 release. No news has surfaced since then. Additionally, her origin game, Zyon, shut down its servers in February 2020 and is no longer playable.

H

Current Status: Confirmed canceled; possibly moving to CeVIO

First teased in 2016 during IA and ONE's anniversary livestream. The only information given was the letter H and a VOCALOID4 voicebank in development.

After four more years of no updates, H was confirmed canceled in 2020.

However, in 2021 during another anniversary livestream, H was teased again, this time with a design.

Along with IA and ONE, she is part of the ARIA ON THE PLANETES project. Her real name was revealed later in 2021 as HIPPI.

While unconfirmed, if fully developed she is likely going to be released for CeVIO like her sisters.

Yao Luniang

Current Status: Assumed canceled/abandoned

A Chinese voicebank to be developed for VOCALOID4 by Shanghai Wangcheng.

Shanghai Wangcheng's other Vocaloids, Zhang Chuchu and Yuecheng, are private, so it's very possible Luniang was never intended for commercial use.

She was a collaboration with NetEase Comics, for which she served as a mascot.

Production for VOCALOID4 started in 2017. Her voice provider was to be chosen through an audition. While six finalists emerged, the winner was never revealed.

In 2020, an authorized user of Yuecheng and Chuchu reported that the pair's serial codes ceased distribution and their voicebanks were no longer available. Shanghai Wangcheng also closed their websites and accounts and seem to have ceased activity, leaving Luniang abandoned.

COCOROBO

Current Status: Assumed canceled/abandoned

Cocorobo-chan was originally featured in exclusive models of a cleaning robot developed by SHARP.

While operating as a vacuum, Cocorobo-chan was also meant to provide conversation so that the owners could feel more connected by communicating with her.

An updated version was debuted in 2016, marketed as a musical A.I. vacuum with a voice powered by the VOCALOID4 engine. COCOROBO's voicebank development was to begin soon after.

In 2018, SHARP stated that COCOROBO was not canceled, but internal circumstances caused them to be unable to give a clear update on her development. No news has surfaced since then.

ALYS

Current Status: Confirmed canceled; moved to Alter/Ego open source, available for Alter/Ego and UTAU

She was to be the first French Vocaloid, developed for VOCALOID3 and voiced by French utaite Poucet. She would also have a Japanese voicebank.

She was expected to release in early 2015. However, in late 2014, her company VoxWave announced that she was going to be developed for CeVIO instead. While they preferred this direction, this also meant that they needed to raise much more money for her.

In December 2015, it was finally announced that ALYS would be released for Alter/Ego, and she was successfully released in March 2016.

UPDATE: VoxWave shut down in September 2021. As of December 2021, ALYS is now open source thanks to her creator Phundrak. This includes her Alter/Ego voicebank, now available for free, and her prototype UTAU voicebank that was used during development. The Alter/Ego voicebank is not licensed to be modified or redistributed, but the UTAU voicebank is. You can read more here!

omg CV04 reveal 😳😳😳

[dragon-samurai01]

Hey all vocaloid fans

Remember CV04?

I made a concept art for him!

Tried my hardest to make him look Crypton esque

His name is Chikarane Yuki

Age: 17

Height: 175 CM

Weight: 58 KG

[gremlinsbooty]

I've always wanted to draw my design for CV04, because.. GOSH! When he'll finally gets released?!

I referenced with idea "CV's designs are CMYK";

Seijyun Mizune (CV04) Age: 19 Height: 170 Weight: 58 Traits: gloomy and edgy, but just wanted to be loved. Headcanons: Seijyun is embodiment of "Wake me up inside" but in Visual kei style; he made with Mayu a club of  "anonymous goths"; Mizune very mad at Mr.Crypton by obvious reasons; with crypton's folks he feels like he's surrounded by weirdos. Character Item: raisins.
