History[]
At the VOCALOID3 announcement, it was announced that both VY1 and VY2 would be updated and sold with the VOCALOID3 software.
VY2v3's boxart was first shown in August 2012,[1] and the release date was later revealed to be October 19, 2012. VY2v3 has both a "Standard" and a "Falsetto" library.[2]
VY2v3 "Second Edition"[]
VY2v3 was one of several products which was re-released in 2013 under "SE" edition. The updated version will host 3 new job plug-ins for the VOCALOID3 engine as well as the latest version of "VOCALOID3' and VOCALOID3 Lite. For users who already own the original vocal, there is no need for a second purchase; aside from a software package update, all the new added bonus content in the SE addition is available for download from the VOCALOID website.
The original version of VY2v3 was discontinued from sale on March 20th 2013.[3]
Mac Update[]
In 2013, a Mac version of VY2v3 called "VY2v3 NEO" was announced. This used the new VOCALOID NEO engine to work on Mac computers.

VY2v3 Standard | |
Cross-Synthesis as noted: | |
XSY allows VY2 STANDARD to switch to FALSETTO on higher notes and back again for lower notes, extending his range on both vocals. Due to some issues with the FALSETTO vocal, XSY allows for subtle hints of the falsetto vocal and thus avoids some problems the FALSETTO vocal creates without fully dedicating the voice to this voicebank. | |

VY2v3 Falsetto | |
Cross-Synthesis as noted: | |
XSY allows VY2 to switch to STANDARD on lower notes, allowing for a wider range of use. The Falsetto vocal has some issues with a short vocal vocal range and the XSY function allows VY2 to extend the FALSETTO vocals range using the STANDARD vocal in secondary. Note that too much XSY may be bad for the FALSETTO vocal since it is a dramatically different vocal to STANDARD, however, XSY still allows control and thus combat some issues with the FALSETTO vocal. | |
