The SoundCloud suggests alpha since they mention "future beta tester"? And if that is correct, I'm surprised as its so clear and the transitions work really well! Can't wait to hear the final product. Also quick look at their tag usage, they know who they want this product to aim for, haha.

Quite upset and mildly disappointed the team behind A/E decided to discontinue it. That was extremely short-lived. I presume they've probably discontinued it because not many people purchase it (and on a sidenote, I've never seen anyone outside of the VOCALOID/UTAU fandom use A/E specifically, only Chipspeech in Plogue's line of products). I really liked the modern voices mixed with that chiptune-y twang it had going on. It just makes me wonder what's going to happen to the more active products (like ALYS and LEORA), will they just stick with it or eventually move onto other TTS programmes?
