^Some people have the theory it is the same provider doing both Vocaloids, which is why internet co won't reveal.

Basically, by doing certain things to a Vocaloid's "Vocaloid vocal library database" (note: the wikia uses the term fans prefer which is "voicebank" or "VB" since this is always a bloody pain to write out every damn time), you can end up with different results. See the appends and extra V3 vocals some Vocaloids have.

In theory, if you expand the amount of keys samples are recorded in, to increase the Vocaloids range, then the resulting collective Vocaloid's vocal will change accordingly. As with Lily and Lily V3, just one change of pitch in a single layer can alter the entire vocal, though Lily is not a good example as Lily V3 was made with new recordings and her old vocal was still the same... Point is... It doesn't take much sometimes to get something that sounds very different.

In theory, even if the middle range (just an example)was identical to Gumi's normal range, with just a few extra keys recorded in either direction, could alter the way Gumi sounds in Vocaloid, thus, this could support that speculation quite easily.

I say "its speculation" and just stick with "its a new vocalist, I can't be bothered with your speculation, but heres some random interesting facts". Basically, its an excuse for me to talk about Vocaloid mroe then care if its Megumi or not behind Kokone. the company says its someone knew, who are we to judge its not.

The likely story is that when Gumi Falsetto failed to happen, they went for a female who could produce a similair voice to Gumi to keep the legacey of the failed vocal alive. I also think its a lesson to those who used to argue about "every male vocal needs a separate falsetto vocal because many UTAU males do it already", and to those who were over the moon when VY2v3 got one. ITs not as easy as you think... The issue is using falsetto and normal vocal alongside each other without it being obvious you've switched.
