Macne Nana (VOCALOID3)

This is the first Vocaloid release of the Macne Series and is based on the voice of Macne Nana.

History
In 2008, VOCALOID was only available on Windows, and there was no equivalent software for the Mac. This inspired Haruna Ikezawa to start working on something using her own voice: Macne Nana. Both Macne Nana and a compact version called "Macne Nana Petite" were released on March 28th, 2009. Users were then able to use her in Reason and Garageband, and, with the proper configuration, in UTAU. On March 28th, 2012, in celebration of the Macnes' 3rd birthday, a new updated version called "Macne Nana 2S" was released.

In 2013 VOCALOID NEO (a version of VOCALOID for the Mac) was released. Teasers were left hinting at Macne Nana being produced for VOCALOID, which were later confirmed on Macne Nana's Twitter account.

According to Mac Fan magazine there was a conversation with Yamaha; no money was involved and the OK was given for the voice of Haruna Ikezawa to become a VOCALOID. The vocal would be reviewed at 70% completion. If the vocal does not meet with expectations, it will be scrapped. It will only be put forward to commercial release if the vocal is satisfactory.

In October 2013, it was confirmed she was going ahead and that she would have both a PC version and a Mac version. It was also confirmed she would include an English as well as a Japanese vocal. She was slated for a January 2014 release.
