I don't know how many people may be reading this right now, but since the last time I seriously posted something coherent about this in public was sometime back in 2022 on the old version of th... 180
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 04/05/2026I was worried I might not make it for health reasons this year but I was very glad I could. Thank you for coming again. It was especially fun this year ✌️ 090

Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 18/09/2025I don't mean this negatively, by the way. I think it's good for vocalsynth to maintain at least *some* degree of artificiality/uncanniness that distinguishes them from actual human singers. 070
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 18/09/2025For those who have ever asked "I can't tell the difference between vocalsynths and real singers anymore," here's a tip: Even the highest-fidelity vocalsynths struggle with clear pronunciation on particularly high or low notes. I personally think it's the easiest telltale sign. 191
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 16/08/2025The project I've been hoping to announce has been taking longer than expected, but I hope to have something to show by the end of the year. Please stay tuned~ 040
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 06/08/2025The even worse part is that for vocalsynth, the use of "AI" here actually predates the current fad (it started around 5 years ago to illustrate its use of machine learning compared to traditional models). There's a huge feeling of "we were here first!!” while we get stigmatized 🥲 100
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 06/08/2025Because I'm sick and tired of people assuming Vocaloid/CeVIO/SynthV "AI" is generative AI just because it has the word "AI" in it: a quick and easy explanation on what vocalsynth "AI" is and why you need to stop freaking out. 4295191
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 08/07/2025From what I hear it doesn't show up with the standalone version, so maybe try it with the installer? 000

Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 21/12/2024in particular, the incident where a single patch resulted in an algorithm trained too much on one VB making the others sound awful is particularly illuminating, because it demonstrates it's really not useful outside a certain limited context 170
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 21/12/2024It does use some of the algorithms used in generative AI, but I'd still classify it as procedural in terms of overall usage because it largely has to affect an existing base (the notes you input) for it to function properly 1101
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 20/12/2024I really need people to understand that the only thing AI does here is "make it not sound uncanny". You still have to write in the notes manually. Still have to do tweak pronunciation and pitch manually. Still have to post-process manually. 05913
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 20/12/2024Hey, uh, just so people know: the type of "AI" primarily used in the context of vocalsynth is not generative. It's procedural. It's to induce randomness in ways like "making water ripples realistic" is done in games. You still have to do everything else by hand. Painstakingly. 4349142

Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 18/10/2024Happy to see so many people seem to have remembered to find me even without me announcing it 🙏 Will try to post more on here! 0100
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 09/02/2024I say 1 or 3, 1 invokes the idea "Aiko from within the Kikyuunes" and 3 invokes how I'd search her name 120
Aster (stella azurea) @stella-azurea.com · 07/02/2024Quite a few people found me here despite me not having made an announcement (yet), just by name alone. Thank you for remembering me 😊 170
