I agree with Fingers foremost about the trouble with EVEC. But also, bare in mind EVEC is CFM's way of giving a lot cheaper then it would have been to supply the Appends. In terms of Vocaloids, the only "safe" risk they have is always Miku. The other Vocaloids don't sell as well as her, even CFM ones despite selling much better then most Vocaloid. Every additional voicebank costs more money, which is why most Vocaloids have 1 vocal and many haven't been updated to modern standards. ZEro-G and PowerFX both have said in terms of Vocaloid, due the licensing, its more profitable for lesser selling studios to make new vocaloids due to price. And Yohioloid's experiment of bilingual didn't get back enough to take this risk again, which is likely why Ruby's Japanese vocal isn't being rushed for release.

Luka had two English vocals as well, note how 1 English vocal alone is about worth the content of several Japanese vocals because of development time. So in place of about 6-8 Japanese Appends, you have 2 English vocals. :-/

So EVEC is a different method of giving "append" results without the Append supplements. But in reality, there is nothing to them that can't be done without them. They just more or less change the wavelengths of a sample to make it sound different, basically thats all its worth.

Things aren't so simple and I think EVEC was a method around a problem, but maybe not the best method. Every EVEC result could be done without it, if the produce knew how and was determined to. All it is is a "dummy's guide top prox editing" in the end.
