IA ROCKS


 * This is an article about the IA ROCKS software for the VOCALOID3 engine.

History
According to the Vocaloid store, IA ROCKS began development soon after the original vocals release and was in development for 2 and a half years. It was built with the most common complaints users had about the original vocal in mind and addresses the issues with the original IA vocal. The vocal was made with an entirely new concept in mind from the original, being made from entirely new recordings.

At the end of 2013, news began to emerge of a new IA related project, set to be released sometime in spring 2014. The vocal was revealed to be a new vocal in Japanese with a change of tone. A downloadable demo referred to as IAα Type C was released on IA's second anniversary (January 27, 2014), in which 1st Place requested participation in their feedback campaign from those who wished to take part in helping improve the vocal.

On May 22, 2014 it was announced that the official name of the voicebank would be IA ROCKS and is due for release on June 27, 2014. A PV featuring the voicebank was also released which will be used as the opening for IA Visual Tracks Colorful.

On June 6, 2014 the following extras were revealed to be bundled with the software: Several packages were released containing the software, apart from the regular edition. The duo package contains both IA's original library and IA ROCKS, while a similar bundle contains both voicebanks and a VOCALOID3 editor.
 * DVD-ROM including IA ROCKS demo songs, instrumentals, VSQXs and LIVEDRIVE(IA ROCKS ver.) MMD Model + Motion Data

On June 28, 2014, 1st Place aired a livestream to celebrate IA ROCKS' release. 12 demos of the voicebank were shown in a livestream, which also included a showcasing of the products in the IA ROCKS package. On July 2, 2014, short versions of these demos were uploaded to 1st Place's Soundcloud.
