As a Gumi fan I disagree.

While the extra vocals offer natural tones they don't broaden Gumi's genres of music she more or less ends up just doing the genres she does. Compared to any of the CFM lot or Yukari, this isn't much of an achievement.

Her English is good, but we've got both better in terms of quality and capability at this point.

She was/is a nice all-round Vocaloid, her English is one of the better Japanese->English adaptions and she has a lot of potential... But... I didn't think upgrading her to have 10 variations of the same tone did much to enhance usage of her. Sure if you switch mid song she sounds more realistic then what EVEC offers the CFM lot right now, without EVECs loss of quality per note, but... Yeah... 10 Vocaloids of different variations cover more between them then the 10 Megpoid vocals do together, XSY or not. Some of those tones you could recreate with Vocaloid itself if you had the knowledge maybe not with the quality... :-/

I tend to be cynical when it comes to all these extra vocals. Its nice to have them, its just you have to ask what is on offer. Its my same issue with Luka V4x... You have basically about 3 vocals in total when you boil down to it... The English soft is recreatable with the other English vocal... If you use EVEC HARD or SOFT you don't need SOFT or HARD anyway unless you want to XSY them. So yeah... There really is just 3 vocals in the package in reality. So for all the bells and whistle on Luka V4x, once you remove them the package doesn't even have the original Luka voice from V2 without EVEC.

I think V4 is the first time I've really been critical on what the voices their adding to Vocaloid truly bring to the table for thatVocaloid. If there is no HUGE advantage anymore, I'm starting to wonder whats it worth to a producer. :-/
