''lol where did you get that from? They added new pitchs to the original V2 voice, that's why it sounds really bad from time to time on specific notes and in certain transitions (speacially vowels).''

The V4 version is a 2 layer voicebank, like the V2 version, so no, no new pitching layers were added to the vocal. They added triphones and fixed some bugs and remastered some issues/remixed things. The ending process is not identical to V2 regardless.

Bare in mind, even if they just re-record the provider there hasn't been enough time for significant change. Once a person hits adulthood, a voice changes every decade or so but not every year, pardon me saying so. When your growing up, your vocal changes every year almost at certain points and for some, every few months even depending on which part of the growing up process their going through.

Only Yuki and Miki did not have new recordings, Yuki because its impossible (except for triphonetic data, Yuki in partiular could not have her original provider(s) brought in), and miki her provider retired.

Also, it was taken from Ah Software themselves. Its not unknown for devs to lie, but as far as things go, we can't disagree with them... Even when they are indeed lying. CFM...SBD Artech... Both caught lying from time to time, but we still have to quote their stuff as truths. The thing is its not up to us to claim a lie is a lie, its up to the fans to decide if it is. At best we can only record criticism.

Also... Another thing to note is there samples... Based on a master file... Are also call "recordings". So its possible they are not referring to re-recording the provider, but re-recording from the master file. You never touch the master files once recorded, you make recordings from them and then store the tracks. So its possible they went back and just re-recorded off the master file and then worked with those recordings to re-mix the files.

Funfact; Miku V2 was stored on 14 disks worth of tape.
