Falsetto isn't just a method of extending ranges...

Falesetto is a method of making your vocal cords change to a particular register, normally above your normal one. The result is higher pitched, but also overlaps your singing voice. Its is regarded as the second highest register, highest is a whistle voice.

Due to the nature of falsetto, Vocaloid itself is hit or miss on if it can do a natural sounding falsetto voice and only a handful of vocaloid vocals can do it without dedicated vocals... So having a dedicated vocal bank for Falsetto will hit the result better then trying to force a normal vocal bank to do the same.

The real issue though the OP brings up is why Miku needs one... And the general problem with Falsetto... :-/

For women, Falsetto has always struggled to be proven and until science put cameras down throats, presumed impossible for those of the female gender. Its more obvious for men their doing falsetto then women and you can hear VY2v3's falsetto vocal, it sounds basically like a girl. T get to the point, you'd not likely do a whole song in female falsetto, you *might* with male due to the fact there are transvestite singers who do so... But for women... People tender to find the singing annoying when they do actually use falsetto too much. :-/

In short, "falsetto" normally has uses on a handful of notes a vocaloid might want to reach, otherwise has no use for any female vocaloid.
