There is no doubt about that, I was just noting the technical matter.

I will no matter what, if they insist on going for long term usage of Piko, that Piapro Studio may end up being the best option. Sure it involves buying 1 more Vocaloid, from the V3 or V4x range, but at least there is long term investment. However, I'd wait and see what CFM does this generation even then.

My concern is that V4 involves getting some hoops to go through to get Piko to work at this point, while V3 has a unpredictable future and a life expectancy of 2 more years. And the next OS update or coding advance will knock it out, which is the same fear UTAU had. V4 on the other hand has benefits from basically being the Windows 10 update and has at least a better chance of surviving a newer update.

I can't even say "go for the mac" version because V2 was never released on the Mac, that would open up so many new doors. You have the same software of V3 and V4, but you also have 4.5 with the Cubase version.

Whenever we deal with the V2 cast, we have the same problems arising constantly and a person unwilling to look at other Vocaloids doesn't help them either. Nothing anyone can do, we can only suggest and suggest but not force. So that leaves us bantering about possibilities but knowing that it may fall upon deaf ears.
