The softwares forum is still seeing activity despite the software being dated and users were still producing works using the software in October 2011.

Usage for Music
The results are compariable to other software in terms of clarity for its time including Cantor, but was a little more realisitc in comparison to Cantor since it was based on human results. It was capable of singing in the following languages;


 * British English
 * American English
 * French
 * German
 * Latin
 * Spanish
 * Italian
 * Japanese
 * Finnish
 * Occitan

However, more script was being written by the users of the software that would allow the software to produce more then this.

It generated a "human" voice from the score lyrics. It wcame with the Real Singer II technology. Like UTAU a new voice was possible to be created from your own. However, if you downloaded the software several "Free" voices could be downloaded from myriad's website, some capable of muti-lingual results and others were made just for one language. Updates were also free of charge, however the latest version is 3.2.
