Bare in mind Studio devs have a line up of future products they want to do... In 2004 when Miriam was released, Prima and Oliver were already in the planning stages.

Since VL are new to the scene we don't know how they work. They may be very different to PowerFX or Ah-software in approach and they may be more like Internet co or Zero-G, being professionals to the point they would. Its likely either way that currently they've got the next 2 or so vocaloids lined up if their continuing with this.

One of the reasons why Alys was lined up for PowerFX should they go ahead was pretty much as well this reason and they do support the indie devs - even though Alys had French and Japanese lined up as the vocals. So also bare in mind, if VL won't allow it you can still go to PowerFX and ask... So long as the plan and money is there, they'll support it seems. In Alys case though, they needed Yamaha to make French exist for Vocaloid and they failed with Yamaha to make this happen.
