Okay - thanks for the information, I'll use VO a lot more often to look up these types of questions.

I do already own Cyber Diva and the V4 Editor but wanted a change to an older platform, and I'm not very fond of most of the V2-V3 Vocaloids; so I wanted to give Miriam a try, also I enjoy how Vocaloid1 has a bit more stuff than V2-V4 does (and although I've only seen demonstrations; the interface is a lot easier for me with the presets and less freeform-style components).

While I do agree that Leon was pretty much unique before Big Al - I never really enjoyed his or Lola's voices as much as Miriam, but that was probably due to Leon/Lola being generalised toward Blues/Soul music while Miriam was geared toward general (Lola and Leon end up doing a 'Tonio' where they get used in genres they dont fit into, lol).

And as much as we would all love Zero-G to update their vocaloids - I think they need to do an approach similar to what AHSoftware did for Zunko; which is create fundraisers for creations/development for older /and/ newer vocals (although in AHSoftware's case its usually mascot over voice). And hopefully not to rely on fans to create it as an official fundraiser would get more attention - especially from oversea fans - versus a fan-made fundraiser (which in most cases does feel like someone is stealing your money for their own benefit rather than the intended focus).
