hey guys... Just popping into say that Vocaloid is one of those "self-marketing" products. This is how Miku originally got popular via memes. Unless producers use vocaloid Zero-G ad PowerFX won't sell them. So they need to co-operate with producers to really push vocaloid, in my opinion. That way, maybe they can turn a few users into many.

Also the next problem is illegal vocaloid still has more downloads then vocaloid, sadly. So until this is sorted there will always be a problem. When illegal downloads are less then legal sales, there will be not so much a problem. So we have to get people to understand likewise the consquences of their actions.

I think Yamaha is not totally stupid, they are currently fining ways to bring vocaloid to us in different ormats. Mobile VOCALOID Editor is one of those; supplying a cheap alternative of the software, be it with limited capablities means they can reach to more sales. I hope with time this software will reach the west as we need it here also to help counter illegal download. These days people use more tablets and smartphones then they do PCs for tasks that PCs got only used for. :-/
