Ooooooh.... XSY, wuht have u dun 2 mee~?!?! \(OAo)/

It hasn't even been an hour into my first V4 usage, and I'm gonna end up going wild on all my older VSQx files at this rate. Just edited 5 of them so far to see how it sounds, and let's just say it's just so good... Gosh, it just literally fills in all of those gaps with expression I've been killing myself over with editinging dynamics and brightness between two different tracks in V3. It's not overpowering, and may not even be noticeable to the average listener, but it's definitely helping with making a difference in my VSQx editing process when going for more expressive results.

And there is a subtle difference between the two methods now that I'm hearing it first-hand. It's kind of hard for me to describe... but it seems like when XSY is used, you're hearing more of the starting phoneme of a note from the primary bank and it quickly cross-fades into the secondary bank. That, and how strong the secondary VB's presence during the XSY is just as easily adjusted via its volume parameter in the Singer Editor, so it's definitely a really nifty parameter to blend in each of the two voices however you'd like. (Of course, that also depends on how well a certain VOCALOID and related vocal libraries work well with the system.)

Ah... if I didn't have to be at practice in about a half an hour, I'd still keep fiddling around with things... it's all familiar, but I still want to play around with the new shinies...
