    she’s a synthesizer…

    i’m inside my car almost daily and it’s only 14 years old.

      Are you trying to portray your car as a naughty-but-shy tricycle and sell its urine to the masses too?

      I couldn’t tell Miku’s voice from any pop-star’s - sound just isn’t the medium I encounter her in. Neither are normie advertising or SFW images normally in my realm either, but anyways, “synthesizer” is just incomplete.

      By all means, take a dig at me; I’m here to roll around in the mud, bearing-grease, and leaky capacitors, but “I’m more cultured than you” or “pedo-phillia is funny” just bore me.

        i mean the character is just the logo for the product, which is a software synth for producing vocalisations.

        and i leave that part to a guy, i don’t know what he does with the fluids.

          The character is also a holographic projection. There are concerts. There are cameos in shows and advertizements, iirc. The character may not be more well-known than the voice, but the voice is not so popular as to render the avatar nothing more than an accessory to a voice-changer.

            they’re usually accompanied, at least.

            also, fun fact, it’s not a voice changer, it’s a waveform generator. you give it a syllable and an envelope and it outputs a note. using miku as a voice changer involves a speech-to-text step.

              The steps between that and a voice-changer are choices that could be changed on a whim with the tech that existed at Miku’s conception, let-alone today, but you’ve also made my point that synthesizer alone is an incomplete description even on the strictly-audio level. I was not aware that Miku sings gibberish, if that’s what you are asserting.
