SSParty Album Release!

by Leave a Comment

I’m happy to announce that I was invited to participate in SSParty, a vocalsynth album with the theme of different software singing together!

I produced track #2, “Love Rescue” featuring Kanochi Neko and Megurine Luka. It’s a cheesy as all hell story about Aphrodite giving relationship advice to a hopeless kuudere, set to eurobeat, and I’m hoping to be able to make a PV for it in the not-too-distant future!

Please support the album by purchasing it via BOOTH! Please be aware that you will need a Japanese shipping proxy or forwarding service to purchase, and even then the physical album will take a while to ship due to the COVID mail service shutdowns in Japan, but every physical purchase comes with a digital copy for immediate download!

Hanga CYE is released!

by Leave a Comment

Our latest addition to the VOXYZ voicebank roster, Hanga CYE HackCVVC, is officially out!

Many thanks to everyone who joined us for the premiere on YouTube! It was my second time hosting such a thing, and y’all made it a super fun experience! I’ll definitely be doing this from here on out for voicebank and original song releases.

You can view CYE’s details on his page here, and download him under the “UTAU” tab. I’ve also released the UST for “Feel So Moon” which can be downloaded from the cover UST list here!

The next voicebanks planned for release during the quarantine are Chiyoko DRAGON CVVC, Akiko CVVC, Bunko CVVC and Silesia CVVC. Wish me luck!

Website Updates!

by Leave a Comment

It’s been a while! I’m happy to say that the overhaul of the Studio VOXYZ website is FINALLY complete, save for a few tweaks that may happen here or there.

Below is a list of the changes and QoL improvements:

  • faster loading times (removed clunky plugins, lazy-loading media, caching)
  • GDPR compliance (added that darn cookies notif and updated privacy policy)
  • updated sidebar (decluttered widgets)
  • revamped voicebank pages with tabbed content
  • all download links fixed!
  • brand spankin’ new banner!
  • general cleanup and organization

From here on out, most minor news will be posted via our Twitter, and you can see the latest tweet on the sidebar under Quick News. The @StudioVOXYZ account retweets content posted from my main that is related to vocalsynth media, as well as fanart and works using VOXYZ-series characters. Small updates (such as minor voicebank fixes, etc.) will be posted there instead of as longform blogging. The blog will be reserved for sharing new videos, major updates/releases, and end-of-month overview posts.

Also, most news will be crossposted over to the Community tab on my YouTube page, so be sure to turn on notifications if that’s your preferred news method!

More updates coming soon 👀 Look forward to it!

Aiko 10th Anniversary Updates!

by Leave a Comment

It’s hard for me to believe that my virtual daughter will be turning 10 years old next week, and I’ve been working hard to prepare a few special things for her special day!

On July 10th, should all the preparation go well, I hope to hold a brand new voicebank demo premiere on YouTube. However, if the demo is not ready quite in time, I will instead take that day to do a celebratory livestream and stream some of the remaining work on Twitch. If that happens I’ll aim to release on the 17th, which will be the Studio VOXYZ channel’s 10th anniversary!

Either way, be sure to join me on YouTube & Twitch on July 10th! There may still be a surprise announcement that day… 👀

Also! As part of Kikyuune Aiko’s upcoming 10th anniversary celebration, I’m pleased to announce a limited preorder-only acrylic charm featuring Aiko and her signature balloons (and Fuu)!

The final charms will be 3″ tall, not including the star attachment, and have a sparkly glitter epoxy coat to protect the double-sided print!

Preorders will be available from now until July 31st and are expected to ship out early August.

For Japanese buyers, they are also available on the official Studio VOXYZ BOOTH!

Miscellaneous updates!

Hey all! A lot has happened through the past couple of weeks, so I’m going to shove it all into one major post. Right now following the Studio VOXYZ Twitter is the best way to keep up with new YT/NND/SoundCloud posts and news snippets, but I’ll try to make a point of posting more detailed updates here on a regular basis!

First things first, as you Twitter followers might already know, I’m participating in a MEIKO compilation album titled “Dark Chocolate and Maraschino Cherry” which is currently hosting a KickStarter project for a physical release. At the time of posting this, we’ve already hit more than twice our initial stretch goal, at an incredible $1500! There’ll be plenty more updates to come, so be sure to follow the project to see song and art progress.

Additionally, my “Evil Food Eater Conchita” cover from last year is up on YouTube and NND! Good to finally have that cover up, as it was my first-ever released UST (from 2009! in romaji! with wrong lyrics!) that I’d fixed up and reposted to SoundCloud last year. People kept hounding me for YEARS to re-release this one. The UST, as usual, is up on the Covers USTs/VSQs page. Enjoy!

I’m also pleased to announce that the USTs and off-vocal for “Retrospectre” are available in the upload descriptions on YouTube, NND, and our new StudioVOXYZ SoundCloud! While I’m not abandoning my personal account (MystSaphyr), it has been relegated to cover, scrap and repost content only. The new SoundCloud account will be for uploading original songs and remixes/arranges, but will also host playlists for Studio VOXYZ voicebank demos. Be sure to give it a follow!

And finally, stay tuned for the annual Ariella and Aiko November 12th birthday duet next week! Mooncrafter and I are working extra hard on it this year!

And “Retrospectre” is now up on YouTube and NicoVideo! Many thanks to sami/@milqus for the art!

A reminder: the song is available for purchase digitally along with the full “Decagon” mini-album on Myriad’s Bandcamp, and all proceeds for the album go to the organization Musicians Without Borders!
