Template:Meiko V1 voicebank

Both Kaito and Meiko form a part of the Vocaloid "series", following a different design intention to the series of Vocaloids that followed them by Crypton Future Media. Kaito is her counterpart in the series. Both Vocaloids are designed to be professional vocals for professional musicians. Her voice is noted to be steady, straightforward, and suitable for any musical genre. She is fit to sing anything from pop, rock, jazz, R&amp;B to children's songs. Her overall tone of voice is more fluid and gives her a large vocal range.

Because of the gap between release, Meiko has overall slightly less quality than Kaito because of improvements made during Kaito's developement. One particular flaw with her Vocaloid voicebank was that although they used Japanese phonetics, the menu was not in Japanese and instead was released only with the standard English interface. This made it harder for Japanese users to work with. Meiko is difficult to master due to a lack of clarity in her vocals which results in her voicebank being difficult to tune well, leaving very few Vocaloid producers able to use her vocal well. Out of her and Kaito, she is consider the harder to use overall.
