Itako and Zunko finally have their AIs!

Hello, Nynthixia here

They just arrived few minutes ago, the AI voicebanks for Itako and Zunko!

Sorry I took this with the phone camera and it's pretty bad ><

For reminder, Zunko AI will be used like it's the case for IA : I'll alternate VOCALOID and CeVIO. So near May you should get a song using her CeVIO AI VB and one with her V4 VB. If you want to differentiate the 2 VBs, Zunko AI sings a bit more mature and less softer than V4.

Itako AI will however fully replace Itako UTAU. This means from now on (January 31, 2022) all songs featuring Itako will use her CeVIO AI VB. The UTAU VB usage is now discontinued.

Giving you some other news.

1) Buyings in January

So, the first day of the year it's the Soundiron Omega bundle and evolution series bundle (still on NKS store) which were bought. These are the two most massive buyings. Later got added The Friedlander (a piano by Strezov), Aevium (bank by Soundiron), the 2022 melodies pack from Cymatics (for once the price was reasonable!) and an extension for Geosonics II.

2) Qingsu... Found a way?

And this way is called a buying agent. I actually used one once, which was Tenso, for getting a voicebank for GUMI. This time, I took a Taobao agent for Qingsu (or Qing Su, the two are accepted orthographs??), called ParcelUp (it got recommended on SynthV forums). The buying will be done after February 7th because the agents are currently in Chinese New Year holidays. If this plans works correctly, then maybe I'll do something about the MEDIUM5 female cast... In case they wouldn't give them to Anicute.

Qingsu should arrive (download ver since it's the only one existing) a bit before February 9, 2022 if everything goes smoothly. Let's cross fingers!

As for her deadlines, Qingsu will have December 1 only, but separated from KAFU.

3) Karin, Rikka, ROSA and SEKAI

Karin and Rikka are for April 2022. Buying will be download ver (for money reasons due to my usage (only AI VBs please!!!)) probably on DLSite (because coupons). Chifuyu will be bought when she will be released, unless the crowdfunding gets open for overseas.

As for ROSA I'm waiting for her SynthV voicebank crowdfunding to open and I'll get her from here I hope. Hiroto-P had opened the crowdfunding to overseas, now we're getting to SynthV which greatly expends capacities of singing in supported languages, there are more chances more non-Japanese people will want her. I'm patiently waiting for you...

For SEKAI we are still waiting, but I'm not expecting her to be finished before at least end 2022...

4) February, the month with 6 deadlines...

Tsuina, Stella, Xin Hua, Kiritan, kokone, Lily. February is part of the months having the most important number of independent deadlines. You'll first get a song part of the Corruption series (so main lore), then all "normal" songs, with no connected series.

March will thus become more of a rest...

5) Albums advancement

"Lurking Presences" (CD33.5) : will soon do the booklet and the certificates. You get it for February 19th as intended.

CD34: all public demos are already done as well as half the private tracks. The album is called "Unresting Chaos". You'll get not less than 4 songs for the Lovecraft series. This album includes all the February deadlines. It will not include further however - the March and more deadlines will be for CD34.5. Release date will be probably for end March/beginning April 2022.

In a nutshell:
- Zunko AI alternates with Zunko Natural ; Itako AI replaces UTAU version
- Qingsu to be coming for February 9th, 2022 max if everything goes well (using Taobao agent for non-Chinese people)
- If Qingsu plan goes well, Minus +, Xingchen Infinity, Chiyu +, Shian +, Haiyi + and Cangqiong + to be coming possibly the same way (will also depend of how their sells will be organized)
- Rikka and Karin coming together for April 2022. Chifuyu for when will get released. ROSA intended to be taken with crowdfunding campaign for SynthV once it opens. Awaiting SEKAI's info.
- 6 public demos for February (Tsuina -> Stella -> Xin Hua -> Kiritan AI -> kokone -> Lily)
- CD33.5 almost finished, release on February 19, 2022, will include end December and January deadlines
- CD34 more than half finished, release on end March/beginning April 2022, will include February deadlines

See you in few days for Tsuina
