Template:Hatsune Miku V2 voicebank

Her strength lies in her ability to climb up high into the octaves while maintaining a strong mid-tone range without loosing her cute sounding vocal tone. Within the Vocaloid 2 era voicebanks, only Prima matches the same high notes that Miku can achieve, while both tie on being able to hit the highest optimum note of any Vocaloid 2 voicebank library at #E5. She can also reach high notes that very few singers can reach. Some users say that Miku, comparatively with other other Vocaloids, has strong attack and marked consonants

She was balanced more in favour for less experienced Vocaloid users and her difficulty against her singing results were favourable, even against higher quality Vocaloids released from 2008 onwards. Most notably, no other Japanese voicebank was able to produce the same balanced level of results until 2010. Her voicebank library was the most common bought by new Japanese users wanting to learn how to use Vocaloid as well as the most used overall. Users who could not use Miku often did not buy another Vocaloid. She is still held in a high standard over several newer Vocaloids released after her during the Vocaloid 2 era.

In terms of realism, Miku's results are not that realistic in comparison to Vocaloid 2 era voicebanks that followed her. As a consequence, Hatsune Miku does not sound like her voice provider due to the intention of creating character vocals and not replicating the singer's singing voice. It is possible to make her sound realistic, though this requires work and tends to sound more towards a Singspiel style. As the Vocaloid 2 releases continued and improvements were made to the basic levels of quality, Miku became one of the more dated voicebanks for Vocaloid 2 and is now considered not as smooth as later Vocaloids. She is either choppy or slurry on many of her vowel sounds, and results from other sounds may produce mixed results; these issues are caused by her lack of vowel related sounds.
