@Angel There are some things that you keep on missing in your tirades against VoxWave. Firstly, as TBK has already stated, they never definitively stated ALYS would be a vocaloid. And as such, you shouldn't use it as an accusatory measure. If you remember correctly, Tohoku Zunko was marketed as 'going to become a vocaloid' before her crowdfunding campaign. Now, Zunko did reach her goals, but f she hadn't, she would've remained just a voiceroid. But I feel as if you wouldn't mind if she hadn't become one, nor would you feel betrayed by AHS software. VoxWave acknowledges it's mistake, and it's not like they wanted to break fans hearts, as TBK mentioned. However, they saw several benefits in CeVio that Yamaha could not offer them. As a result, they /chose/ to make the switch. And they did it so that their project could flourish more. Something that a lot of people don't know is that Yamaha is very restrictive with it's methods of production. The reason all the engloids sound poorly made is because Yamaha has enforced the usage if the same reclist since V1. The first vocaloid recorded using a different method is Ruby (if you want go ahead and ask Syo). With CeVio, VoxWave was promised more freedom (as I've leaned from talks with Drak-Pa). CeVio will give them recording and programming freedom so they can best synthesize French for music producers without restrictions. The switch was made for the good of the project. And they did not betray anyone because they always put at te end of their press releases that ALYS was pending to be a vocaloid and it was not definite.
