In a certain way I'm a bit happy since as simple as it is, Gackpoid'll be more fit to the new V4 features and that's really nice. On the other hand, I slightly want to punch someone in the face because they just slapped black on the V3 boxart and called it a day, but it's also fitting since as I said, it's a sorta simple update... all in all, I'm content with the entire thing, I'm just not really excited.

These growl examples make me growl a bit too though, I'm still concerned on the usage of this plugin. I'd rather actual in-song demos...

His V2>V3 update was a real one, doing it again or extending it even more would just really be a huge thing to do. And besides the Gackt issue Angel Emfrbl addressed, there's also the sales and public interest thing regarding an English update, like, comparing the effort to produce such a voicebank and the results - I'm sorta picturing a mental graph comparing JPxEN sales too -, I don't think it'd be really worth it... I don't know about this, but I think Internet Co would have more profit making a new voicebank or giving other VOCALOIDs (CUL, kokone, Chika, Lily) "real" updates instead of making Gackpo bilingual. Though idk, companies make surprising choices sometimes.
