V1 had issues with sounding realistic at its basics, plus sounded the majority of the time unrealistic. I owned a V1, jumping to V2 was much more comfortable as it produced more realistic sounding results.

I will say V1 did have something going for it, it was analytical which meant that samples were just a reference and that meant the maths could do its thing. when samples were put at the centre focus, you see a trade for a few traits over greatly increased realism. Its become the basis for a lot of modern synths because it produces better results. Whereas V1 was more closer to the vocals of the 90s with samples included for working out how to make a machine acquire traits of a singer.

V3 Kaito has the same tone and better quality results. Plus 2 extras vocals in Japanese and English. And its still got a few years whereas V1 had died and may or may not function when you try and use It on modern computers.

I'll give V1 its credit where due, but... Its a really dated version and honestly, it just is so clunky. At the time of 2004 when I brought Lola, nobody knew how to use it to get any other result, the masters of V1 didn't come until 2008.
