Macne Nana

Macne Nana (Mac音ナナ) is the first of the Macne Series to be a part of the Vocaloid software.

History
In 2008, Vocaloid was only available on Windows at the time, and there was no equivelant software for the Mac. This inspired Haruna Ikezawa to start working on her own voice; Macne Nana for the Mac. Users where then able to use her in Reason and Garageband, and with tweaks she was able to be used in UTAU as well.

In 2013 Vocaloid NEO was released; a version of Vocaloid for the Mac. Teasers were left hinting at Macne Nana being produced for Vocaloid and was then confirmed on Macne Nana's Twitter account.

Concept
Nana was designed to be the first voice on the Mac OS. She was inspired by the success of Hatsune Miku, and was even labelled Macne Miku (Mac音ミク) during her first production.

She is described as a bright and cheerful girl who can be a bit of a clutz. She is accident prone and is often late for work but always looks on the bright side of life.

Etymology
Macne is a combination of the word Mac and Ne (音) meaning Mac Sound.
