Though it'll take a long time before he'll be able to show his face again without people tearing it right off, I feel.

Also, looks like someone's already reuploading the STELLA videos. Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone's curious. Ah thanks for posting that, I never got to hear them!

Second demo was the best, the first has that "old UTAU" quality and third is grainy. Going by the second one, which s the best, I'd say Adept-ex is right about the dangters of XSY. That was pretty convincing as a "demo". Yet it doesn't have the clarity that most RAW vocals have, someone said on the wikia that this is a trait that XSY creates. If this is a Frankenvocal created with a hacked feature, then I can now see what they mean.

I haven't listened to any songs with XSY because the feature doesn't interest me. If I had listened to this, not knowing this was a trait at all of XSY vocals, I would presume its legit myself. Other then it makes the audio sound MQ at best, which honestly could be put down to bad mixing, as this is basically what it sounds like, there is no visible traits that give it away that can't be explained as the results of poor producer skills or strange tuning.

This... Actually makes me not look forward to more fakes int he future. If aduio quality and a slight muffle are the only traits that stand out, what is going to happen? Think about this for a moment. A vocaloid is only as good as a producer and good producers make even crap vocaloids shine like the Kagamines Act1, Galaco Prize and Sonika. So in the hands of a producer who knows what their doing, this feature is going to prove the undoing of much trust of vocaloid fans.

I knew this was going to turn up when VO'ers speculated that XSY could be broken apart and altered for any vocaloid, but now I've heard the results... I shiver to think where this is going to go. Because the results are done in Vocaloid and not UTAU, it still has "the vocaloid sound" and not "the utau sound" which was the foil of many UTAUs pretending to be vocaloids in the past. I don't like this at all... It actually scares me because honestly... I could see even myself being fooled sooner or later by this.

I think Yamaha has basically created a monster with this new feature.
