I have exactly two interests and those are voice synths and bugs. Be aware there may be both here, if I ever post. Oh and I guess I draw sometimes, so that too.

My computer has fan issues rn so I'm trying not to keep it on for long periods, but since I've managed to finish it here's the art for a cover I have in the works (provided my computer doesn't burst into flames or something midway through doing the rest).
#vsynth #CeVIO #KizakiAiri #黄咲愛里
An imitation of the song art from Yomosugara Kimi Omou (All Night, the Idea of Two) by TOKOTOKO. To the left, a binturong (replacing the original monkey) holds the paw of an off-screen binturong. To the right, Kizaki Airi (replacing Gumi) holds the hand of an offscreen person. There is a bookshelf in the image, on or around which various items are placed- a guitar, a sand timer, an apple, a mortarboard, a book, a paper plane, a vase of daffodils (flower type changed from the original), a rack of test tubes in the other Color Voice characters' colours, a wall-mounted clock, and a first aid kit. The view through the window shows some distant trees, and the stars and moon between them make it apparent the scene takes place at night.

Trying out flipaclip on my phone so drew this. Maybe at some point I'll actually animate it too... though I may have gone overboard with what to try as a first attempt.
An in-app screenshot of flipaclip. Pictured is mock-calligraphy lineart of an anime-style girl with long hair with an ahoge.

Got it in my head at one point that Chris is a soundalike for Fukase so decided to test that. Unsure rn.
Song name is "5 Seconds" by AkuP, vocal data from the original with no edits.

I feel like it's worth reminding people that however bad it is, Vocaloid 6 has vocal conversion so it's only a matter of time before someone tries this.
#vocaloid #vocaloid6 #HatsuneMiku #初音ミク
A scene of Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin talking. It's not relevant to the comic but Rin is holding a carton of orange juice and I feel like I may have drawn that badly enough for it to be worth pointing out. Dialogue- Rin: "Are you worried about the vocal conversion function your V6'll have?" Miku: "No, why would I be?" Rin: "So you've realised it'll be SUPER easy to make you British?" Miku (dismissively): "Pshhht... Who would be bothered by THAT?" Cut to Miku lying wide awake on her bed at night, obviously stressed out by the idea.

I've had an idea for a song that just names voice synths for a while. This needs a lot of work (and more synths), but here's an early version. Singer is Chis-A.

Sometimes I get short bursts of hyperactivity and it makes things interesting cos I look back on files and go "what the hell is this" and then I remember one night I heard about the penguin Vietnam war veteran beer mascot anime and tried to replicate an entire song from it.

Was thinking about how many designs Gumi has now and this was the solution my sleep-deprived brain came up with (1/2)

Saw someone posting one of these tier lists last night, decided to do my own. A few different factors at play here (voice, design, desire to forfeit all my possessions to them, etc.) but here's mine.

Just found out they're planning another Voicetic concert this year. Assuming they manage to raise the funds, seems like Yuzuki Yukari is due to appear too. 👀

It occurred to me last night that I never tested how these two sounded together and technically could, so here's a thing.
(Probably has some terrible Japanese- 日本語は話せません- and audio mixing though, still learning both)

Went chasing after a hummingbird hawkmoth a few days back trying to get photos and started feeling sympathy for yeti hunters.
"(Gestures at this photo-) Behold, the beast is real! I saw it with my own two eyes!"

A brown blur next to a flower. It's a moth, I swear.

I was thinking about how Tohoku Zunko didn't get a CeVIO-specific design last night (unlike Yuzuki Yukari and flower) and tried to design one but in an effort to not go overboard I in fact went underboard so at best it's a spot the difference game.

Been listening to Clone Clone a lot recently and I love it but whenever I play the song back in my head I keep getting it mixed up with the Gakkougurashi OP. I can't be the only one that hears the similarity, right? #vocaloid #vsynth
For reference:

Okay I really like this update

I'm not aware if there's an off vocal so I probably won't finish this (the audio file in the video is just what I used as a reference to create the vocal data).
Anyway, untuned version:
June 9, 2025 at 10:32 PM
nightmongoose.bsky.social
Have some V6 tuning practice with Haruka ig
(the song is the English version of Watch Me! by Yoasobi)
#Vocaloid #vsynth
(also because I like comparisons I'll put the untuned version in replies)
June 9, 2025 at 10:26 PM
nightmongoose.bsky.social
It's probably obvious, but if anyone wants to play a game of "guess which one is untuned" I'd be curious about the results.
Singer is Chis-A English from VoiSona, song is Retrospectre by MystSaphyr. I only edited pitch, no other parameters.

I don't think many people have touched on this, but VoiSona Talk now lets you import audio tracks. It might not seem like much but as someone who never got outside software like KotonoKanade to work, it at least means I can use reference audio to help force Tanaka San to sing.

The new VoiSona update means I can satisfy my curiosity of how voicebanks would sound if I forced them to sing in English.
ci flower sounds nice, honestly.

Please enjoy this pic before I swallow my pride and actually upload the thing (it's actually finished now, but I am so bad at mixing it might be disappointing).
#CeVIO #VoiSona
A drawing of the CeVIO/VoiSona characters Sato Sasara, Chis-A, Kizaki Airi, Midorizaki Kasumi, and Suzuki Tsudumi. They are wearing matching costumes, each in their respective image colour (pink, orange, yellow, green, and blue in that order), with the same image colour as their background. At the bottom of the image is a clear crystalline heart filled with multicoloured liquid matching the image colours.

This is unrelated to anything but I have managed to work out how to move images in blender's video editor so I guess have this badly animated and/or drawn laughing guy. 🤷

Just realised I haven't been updating my bingo card and I meant to. UNI was confirmed for Synthesizer V a little while back, and Asumi Shuo + Asumi Ririse (AH-Soft Speech vbs) have just been confirmed for Synth V today.
Any others I've missed?
#SynthV #Vocaloid #CeVIO #VoiSona #VSynth
An image of a voice synth bingo card with entries that are things I thought (or hoped) could happen in 2025. From left to right- Top row: UNI's return (NOW CROSSED OUT), Yokune Ruko Male Speech VB, VoiSona for Android, AH-Soft Speech VB gets SynthV (NOW CROSSED OUT), Mandarin V6 Voicebank (recorded in that language) Second row: SynthesizerU released, VY1/VY2 V6, French added to SynthV, Brand Mascot synth, the return of Color Voice (please) Third row: Takahashi song voice (confirmed demo or release), Utaite/Youtaite voicebank, Free space (this is the centre box, and is written within a star), Non-miku NT demo, Momoka Akino reveal Fourth row: Vocaloid spanish cross-lingual, Kaai Yuki synth v (probably recast), new voice synth type, Kizuna Akari CeVIO vb, an UTAU gets a commercial synth Last row: KAFU synthv release (REPLACED WITH "NOT HAPPENING" TEXT), VoiSona rap voice released to the public, Gakupo voice synth (speech or song), VOICEPEAK English, Big Al/Sweet Ann/Ruby Maghni AI reveal.

Today (19th of February 2025) is the 10th anniversary of CeVIO voicebanks Akasaki Minato and Midorizaki Kasumi, and with them the CeVIO Color Voice product line.
Happy Birthday! 🥳
(Now bring them back for CeVIO AI please 🙏)

A drawing of Akasaki Minato, a man in a red top with dark red hair. He is blushing and partially Hiding his face with one hand. In his other hand is a balloon with a number ten on it. A drawing of Midorizaki Kasumi, a woman with long brown hair, green-green themed clothing, and a long apron. In her hands she holds a large plate with a single slice of cake with green icing and a lit candle.
