I think its only DoE that started the idea of her being deeper voiced.

The thing is, Miku was notoriously easy to "morph" into new sounding tones and she could sound very different at times. The price was quality in most cases, which is way they likely choose a deeper more depressing voice for Haku. Haku's "settings" actually move Miku more outside her comfort zone and Haku is actually causing Miku to loose quality most of the time.

Luka was not as flexible, but she had a lot more quality then Miku had, so could give more "quality tones", meaning that her voice resisted loss of quality allowing users to push her further until she snapped... And after that "snap" you got not much in terms of interesting vocal results due Luka's V2 vocal was flumsy and not as strong as Miku. But by the time Luka came Miku was already being used for just about every Vocaloid OC going.

It should be noted that Miku was finally beaten in this area by Miki in later 2009, miki was the first Vocaloid that could fill 16 tracks easily without break as her voice morphed very easily. However, miki wasn't as good as quality as Luka was (Luka was bottom of the HQ range) so that was the downside, plus she was overall harder to use. The reason was just that miki can sound very different depending on the octave you use. IT wasn't a bad thing, as one of the most common problems with Gumi was that she resisted change unti you got to her breaking level, and only when her voice was LQ did she have enough significance to sound different, but you ended up with a LQ vocal either way. Its a shame that miki wasn't released during the 2007 period of more OCs may have been made with miki not Miku.
