Let me frickin tell you about Cyva

Okay, Circus and I got Cyva at the beginning of December along with the V4 editor. They gave us 5 days to write 3 songs and everything that could have gone wrong almost did. Circus ripped through 2 computers in one week, his room flooded, the Christmas rush had just started at my job and my poor 2007 Vista potato computer could not handle V4. However, she was SUCH A PLEASURE to work with that hearing content with her voice was what really drove us to work as hard as we could.

Cyva is about 1.5 GB, which is pretty tame considering she's six pitches. She's only one bank, so she can't do cross synthesis and I really don't think her voice is meant to growl very much considering her go-to genre is pop. We generally avoided manipulating the voice from it's core sound as much as we could. That being said, her voice is actually a bit higher than in Utata's demos, which really kind of confused me considering the fact we were making demonstrations to basically showcase her strengths, weaknesses and generally just how she sounded upon opening and using her. This applies for our demos as Thunderstorm came first, meant to demonstrate the sheer power she posses even in a pop ballad. Then came Run Away, a demo to show that she can sing consonant-heavy words quickly and clearly....aaaaaaand Athena. Athena came last, and Circus & I were so goddamn exhausted and stressed with our time limit that we were just kind of like "OKAY, I DON'T CARE, FUCK THIS, LET'S PARTY" and thus Athena.

TLDR: cyva is great for babies at vocaloid to use
