    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.

              well it can do that, but it’s made for japanese syllables which is why it sounds weird in english.

                    So … “Japanese doh re mi fa so le do” with licensing?

                    Chip-tunes Miku then. I kinda dig-it after all, as a background instrument.

                    EDIT: this is why I’m always over-confident on the internet, especially when I’m potentially wrong. Learning stuff is fun. Learning stuff from strangers who are mad at you is like prodding a drunk uncle to learn no-no words as a toddler - the ones who get mad at your parents so you can’t tell they aren’t really being nice about it.
