Hatsune Miku
, sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is the name of a Vocaloid software voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media and its official moe anthropomorph, a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails. She uses Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2, Vocaloid 3, and Vocaloid 4 singing synthesizing technologies. She also uses Crypton Future Media's Piapro Studio, a singing synthesizer VSTi Plugin. She was the second Vocaloid sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the Vocaloid 2 engine. Her voice is modeled from Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita. Miku's personification has been marketed as a virtual idol and has performed at concerts onstage as an animated projection (rear cast projection on a specially coated glass screen).
Vocaloid 3
A package containing 3 Japanese male vocals, Yuu, Kyo, Wil voiced by Minorun (Yuu), Nanox (Kyo) and Maui (Wil). They were released on June 20, 2013. Zola Project Neo was released on September 19, 2013. Yoshitaka Amano who previously had been an artist for the Final Fantasy series had been chosen as the illustrator for the package. The trio was designed to give producers a tool for creating songs that had been inaccessible up until that point. Zola Project were designed to offer the highest quality vocal possible and be accessible for both new and experienced Vocaloid users. Zola Project offered supporting roles for trio and duos, as well as harmonies. The boxart was designed as an "image illustration" and not "character designs" like the boxart for other Vocaloid releases. The voice providers who were sampled were given a different script to read from other vocals recorded and in addition received a half a years worth of vocal training before being recorded. The 3 providers who were chosen for the project were picked from 40 possible candidates. The product also came with a special plug-in for Vocaloid 3 called ""ZOLA_Unison" which is designed to help them sing together.
