I know this is late and I don't know if its helps.

Generally, the version of the software the voicebank is released for is the version its intended for and that means you can't use it on any previous versions. A V2 won't work on V1, a V3 won't work on V2, etc with the soul exception of VOCALOID Editor for Cubase offering a 4.5 version of Vocaloid and allowing users to use V5 voicebanks in a sort of V4 enviroment.

So yes, getting a V4 voicebank is useless now, you need the Vocaloid5 software to run that version of VY2. The good news is V5 *does* run V4 vocals so you can go back and get the V4 vocal afterwards. It will also run V3 vocals, so you get about 70 voicebanks or so to choose from.

I can only suggest in future you just check all the information on the software if in doubt, ask for advice. Learn from your mistakes basically. However, some saving grace is found if PS updates to the Vocaloid5 engine.

Aside from the fact this is the only version supported still that runs V2 vocals, there is almost no reason to hang on hoping for V5 PS. Piapro Studio is Vocaloid, bugs included, plus more bugs most of the time which is why I see little point in it. Its mostly really design to work with Studio One, which is CFM's own DAW software. And if there is problems when V6 comes around, we're going to go through this whole thing again, especially as right now the lack of a CFM vocaloid and Miku is causing a % producers not to yet move over to V5.
