I REALLY WANNA HEAR YOUR THOUGHT ABOUT IT!!!!!1!1!1! PLEASE 💥💥

really??okay! so most of my headcanons about Vocaloid Max comes from the singular idea that Max was Sam's first voicebank. this would mean Max was probably made as a VC, which is very simple but only really works for japanese because of how simple it is. ontop of that, you dont have to record very many different versions of noises, which means that his voice would sound ridged saying words [i assume, i did like 3 hours of research a week ago and thats it]

i imagine after Max came to life, Sam worked on making Max a VCCV/CVVC voicebank so Max could speak english and Sam could hold a conversation with him without speaking fluent japanese. but his voice would probably still be a bit stilty, and like- have you ever seen those clips of the vocaloid anime, and how Hatsune speaks? i imagine Max speaks alot like that, where most of his voice is monotone in a distinctly inhuman fashion. they try to practice Max speaking more human, but Sam wouldnt really know how to improve Max's voicebank, not wanting to make another voicebank to test out how to improve Max's- what if it made another, and Sam had to teach two voicebanks how to speak? is max technically a person? does he have flesh?blood?is he a hologram? is his species 'voicebank', does he have lungs can he breathe is Max hydrophobic

anyway max is inexperienced at existence so while Sam learns pretty quickly how to consistently tell what Max is saying, Max is banned from taking any phone calls ever because he's always accused of using a voice changer or being a spam bot i also have a daydream that involves alot of shit including but not limited to Max being at multiverse poker and seeing 5 different versions of sam that wear suits at all times and 5 versions of him that. grew up. like as a normal person, and didnt just spawn into existence and how Max feels and grapples with doing everything he does with Sam in mind, because if Sam lost interest in Max then he might cease to exist and it just. feels bad to let down the person that is the literal reason you have concsiousness yknow but anyway thats not what im talking about im just bringing it up because in that daydream Max has a problem with his voicebank for a few meetups, which i imagine the tournaments are held maybe every two weeks, maybe monthly, somewhere around there which means Max just. cant use his voice properly for like 2-3 months until Sam figures out how to repair Max's voicebank without making it from scratch and idk it turns out the oto file and multiple of the wav files got corrupted so Sam had to rerecord them and Max didnt like how Sam voice doesnt sound the exact same

okay thats a long post uh. ill stop here, that was about,,,half of the bulletpoints i put down on the paper, maybe 1/3 of my thoughts on vocaloid max considering i didnt write down everything
