I'm guessing that's why her release was taking so long. They had to make some arrangements for the V3 editor.
That or they've been neglecting her. But yeah, judging by that silhouette, her design is going to be elegant.
//what am I talking about? Luka is always elegant

I believe they had to actually start completely over on configurations because of the switch to V3.

Ah, That's gotta suck. Especially since they worked so hard on the append VB.
It all paid off though because Luka's V3 demo sounds great.

Especially her English. And yes she is my wife

That's real dedication. I was a little hesitant about buying Luka but after seeing her V3 demo and hearing how much work Yuu Asakawa put into it, I'm sold. Luka is on the list of Vocaloids I must buy.

Yay Luka updates!

Here's her official site.

Okay, here's what I've gathered so far:

She will have the ability to sing in different expression in different notes. This is called E.V.E.C. (Enhanced Voice Expression Control).

Similar to UTAU, you just have to put the voice color symbol to her notes (W for Whisper, S for Soft, P for Power, Q for qt Cute and C for Closed).

Here's the sample!

https%3A//soundcloud.com/cryptonfuturemeida/evec-luka-sound-sample

Although this will only work in Piapro Studio. EVEC may be compatible with V4 Editor, no news currently.

So, thoughts?

Got some new updates from Wat today so I'm gonna post!

So we got three tweets today- (Original then translation)

音が近いのは、WHISPERとHUSKY、CLOSEDとDARK、POWERとPOWER2、是非収録したいが、作業が重たいのはFALSETTOとDARK。想像より効果が大きいのはPOWER系で、効果が少ないのはCLOSEDとDARK…うーん、悩ましいです…。
----
Voices which sound close are WHISPER and HUSKY, CLOSED and DARK, POWER and POWER2, and were recorded without fail (?), and work was heavy on FALSETTO and DARK. With POWER, the effect is larger than imagined, and the effect was little when it came to CLOSED and DARK... hmm, it's annoying...

実用性を考えると、効果が大きければいいという訳でもないですし、同一楽曲で使用するのに相性が良いやつと悪いやつもあります…。人間っぽくするのに使えそうなものもあれば、少々変わった効果になりやすいものも捨てがたいです。低音で効果が良いのと、高音で効果が良いのも分かれますね。
----
The practical use was thought on, and effectiveness was judged to be good, you have to use the same songs to find out the good and bad affinities... If it was human-like it was found to be useful, whilst other smaller results were discarded. The low tone's effectiveness is great, whilst the high tone's effectiveness was judged to be great too.

「ルカらしさ」という意味ではDARK要素も重要だよなーと理解しつつも、E.V.E.CはDARK系は割りと苦手でして…ルカAppendが難しかったのも日本語の独特の「暗さ」を軸にバランスするのが難しかった理由もあり、今回は英語側の「柔らかさ／アンニュイさ」に少し力点を移しています
----
E.V.E.C.'s DARK was relatively poor, but the component and comprehension factors could name it 'Luka-ish'... Luka Append was troublesome, and also Japanese's 'dark' characteristic was difficult to balance, now Luka English's "softness/boredom' is of small importance.

----

So, what does this mean? Some people on Twitter thought she'd have 9 appends + Her English (Referring to the first Tweet) but it just doesn't seem possible. ~~I'd love it though~~

Also, this POWER2 that Wat mentioned intrigues me. I'm wondering why they made a second power bank. Maybe one's more powerful than the other?

Based on the screenshots I've seen from her site with Luka_Power selected, I saw some notes edited to be things like [a2] instead of [ a ] so maybe POWER2 is an extra set of phonemes inside POWER? I dunno, man.

Really interesting stuff though! I am so ready for this release!

In the same tweet he mentioned something about not being able to use all the appends because of cost and balancing issues...?

Aaand updated the OP post since no one has been in this thread in 100000 years lol

Anyways, she's gonna be on V4 as Luka V4X. Her JP banks are Hard and Soft, and her ENG banks are Straight and Soft. You access those other banks through EVEC in the JP ones.

Ask me anything!
