VOCALOID Audition Room
Way back when in the V4 era, YAMAHA created a "audition room" of all the vocals in their store (at the time) with voice samples for each of their voicebanks. This of course does not cover all the VOCALOIDs released. Last year I created a personal audition room to help me figure out what vocals I wanted to use for a project, but I think that a complete audition room would be helpful for those figuing out what vocals to use or possibly buy, as YAMAHA initially intended with their's.

YES, you can still get a import code for Piko
Now I know that there is some concern for Piko due to him not getting an update, and that there is uncertainty over wheather or not you can get a import code but I wanted to confirm that yes, you can still get a import code for Piko. (At least in 2019)
I have heard that since V2's permanent retire, you can get a import code from YAMAHA but that seems to no longer be the case.
You'll want to email any import requests to piko@sme.co.jp
Something to note however, you may want to send the email and have its title in Japanese. I at first sent a bilingual email with a English title to no response. A week later I resent it completely in Japanese and I did get a response.
(Also, make sure to send your Piko serial code in the email)
However, if you want a …
Thoughts on VOCALOID5
So I guess that enough time has passed where I can give my thoughts on VOCALOID5. (I posted a review on Equipboard that will basically sum this up if you don't wanna read allof this: link)
For those who don't know, VOCALOID is my favorite thing in the world. I love every single one of them (even the ones that I "hate"). Infact, it is a obsession and I may have a problem. So I guess if someone like me says that they have a problem with a VOCALOID product, something must be up.
VOCALOID5, as nice as it may look with some cool new features it has had a abundance of bugs and glitches that can make it unusable. The software would fix a glitch in an update, however would also introduce a new one in that same update. The first most noteworthy glitch …
An apology
I would like to apologize for my inactivity lately. I usually don't like to talk about my personal life on the internet but it's been getting out of hand and I feel like I owe everyone an explanation. Recently my chronic pain has been getting alot worse and it has been getting incredibly hard to function and even think. I have had to go home from work early and/ or just call out alltogether because it has been getting so bad. I can't help but wonder if I'm even going to be able to keep my job or worse. And if I do get fired I am absolutely certain that because of my visible disabilities, tourettes tic, and inability to get a further education I can't help but fear that I may never be able to get another job again. There is one medication t…
