Zero-G Limited

About
Zero-G is a company that produces English Vocaloids, they are famous for producing both the first vocaloids and the first english voicebanks Leon and Lola for the first vocaloid engine, and later Miriam with improved an voice engine. The voices were sold as a "Singer in a box" and intended to be a back up voice provider.

They would later produce the successful vocaloid Prima, and create Sonika to act as a company mascot, adopting the Japanese style of producing a avatar for the voicebank for Sonika.

Zero-G began to resell their 3 older vocaloids due to the increase interest in the vocaloid program and the program was made ready to download from their site. Links to update their engine from Vocaloid 1.0 to 1.1 were also included. Due to Sonika's success and the use of avatars on other vocaloids, Zero-G has mentioned in an interview after Sonika's release, they may redesign the boxart of their older vocaloids with the exceptions of Prima and Tonio who are intended to be as they are. No further word has been mentioned on the redesign. They also made a comment they unfortantely cannot release the names of their vocal providers for legal reasons.

Promotional Involvement
Zero-G also encourages feedback and have given out their e-mail for feed back as contact@sonika-vocaloid.com.

NAMM Trade Show
Leon and Lola were the first promoted at the NAMM show on the 15th of January, 2004, and was eventually commercialized on the 3rd of March, 2004, at the price of 39,800 yen. He is a "virtual male soul vocalist modeled on a real professional singer" and was created for the English speaking community.

Prima was introduced at NAMM Show 2008;

Sonika Boxart competition
On Nov 2, 2009 and ending on Nov 30, 2009. Zero-G announced a competition; about giving Sonika a new look. The winner would receive a copy of the "Sonika Vocaloid2 Software".

Nearing the end of November, an image was uploaded on Crypton Catalog that represented Sonika's new appearance. It was drawn by artists Mario Wibisono (aka raynkazuya) at the request of Zero-G. And with the image being found out during the New Look Competition and also uploaded to Zero-G's site a few days later, this greatly confused fans and Submitters who thought that this was the winning image.

This was quickly corrected, with Zero-G stating that the competition rules never included anything about the winning image being used for boxart.
