Hello, Nynthixia here, quick news before coming back home

Mai arrived. For free. I was expecting her actually to release today since tomorrow is a holiday. She is now installed on the comp.

Mai's deadline will be shared with Xia Yu Yao, and will be on November 10. The one for 2022 won't be respected sadly, so the first public demo song you'll get with her is on 2023.

Speaking of Xia Yu Yao, seeing the message about the beta, I sadly don't expect her to release before best of cases on December, worst of cases on January. Which actually puts me in the situation where her tracks initially intended for "Exquisite Corpse" (CD37) have been traded with Mai's tracks and will be on CD37.5 instead (this one has no name yet).

CD37 is still in production, produced one track yesterday evening, should go back to production tomorrow to not lose too much time.

Sorry for the stressed out blog post.

Tomorrow you get Sayu's song

Nynthixia

Hello Nynthixia here

Here is the album! Here we go, you'll finally be able to listen to some Feng Yi after all these months!

CD35.5 DOWNLOAD (23 TRACKS)

News will be a bit long because I have several things to say so I'll start with the "new" songs:

Hallucinatory Path (feat. Feng Yi) [CORRUPTION SERIES]

Used Airy, Soft and Power vocal modes for this one. Remember the temple where no one needs to go? Well Feng Yi just wasn't careful enough and went a bit too close... Just before the day she notices a huge, huge hallucination in the sky. And if it wasn't worse, Qing Su also saw the thing... Less but she still did. Because she remained for less time on the path to the temple in question. Conclusion Qing Su went with? Infection was a bit a "vaccine" against this hallucination. At least this one's not too violent...

Candice (feat. Feng Yi) [YANDERE]

This one is pretty weird... It's a very extreme case of Stockholm syndrome, where the first girl to be kidnapped fell in love with the one who took her away... And saw this as a sign of love. So of course she doesn't understand why other girls are coming to the place where she is prisoner. Maybe the one who was trying to scare her... Will be the one who will be scared instead.

Meta;Morphosis (feat. Gahata Meiji -Hunter-)

When you have this disturbing impression something in you changed... But not physically. Just mentally.

Dance with the Devil (feat. Toujoh Wistaria)

In a pretty party more than a century ago, someone invites you to dance with them. But what you don't know is... This person is actually the devil in disguise.

Wind of Life (feat. Kisaragi Tsuina)

After the yandere song she got for her deadline, I decided to give her something softer. As a wind bringing life to things...

Resonant (feat. Natsuki Karin)

Psychological horror song, nothing more to say actually.

Compulsive Bane (feat. CUL)

Inspired by the World of Darkness. And Salubri clan. Whose the bane is... Being hunted by other vampires. So threatened to disappear.

Primordials (feat. Lily)

A strong, powerful deity... Or something? Manipulating members of a cult by whispering cruel things. And cruel needs. Made Lily sound very young in this one.

Wights from Mars (feat. Kizuna Akari)

And here Akari sounds horribly mature and dark. Mysterious voices seeming to come from beyond. Slightly psychological horror.

432 (feat. VY1)

This one has lots of word plays. A lot of them. For some, 432 is considered as an angelic number, but there is more sinister to it when you think a bit more of it... Word plays especially work well in Japanese and not too much in other languages though, sorry...

Mercy on Me (feat. Xingchen Infinity)

Quite dark but typically it's a victim of extreme bullying who finally starts to believe she is the culprit and as such, has no innocence left. I know this can be interpretated a lot more badly, but take it like that: someone who thinks she is at fault for everything due to mental breakdown.

Nora (feat. MAYU) [YANDERE]

Your typical yandere I guess? There's nothing more to it actually.

Malinka (feat. SEKAI) [YANDERE]

A pretty obsessive girl wanting to get rid of anyone thinking her love is not possible when she is just searching for the warmth of someone.

OK to the other news.

CD36 / Disconnect from Reality: already packed up. This will be the last album to be fully S05.

CD36.5 / Unfaithful Propagation: currently on the private album tracks. Aside from RIME's who are blocked until next Monday, I have 8 tracks left to do for it (so with RIME's songs it does 10). Album is still at 28 tracks and should not change.

CD37: Called "Exquisite Corpse". Currently holds 28 tracks as well including all February deadlines, as well as HARUKA, SARAH, Chifuyu, Xia Yu Yao, Futaba Minato, a bit VY1 but too a group song with Weina, Feng Yi and Qing Su. For Minato I'll talk about her later because her case is a bit special. Set to release on April 8, 2023.

CD37.5: this one has 25 tracks for now but has no name yet. It will contain songs with Miko (yes she'll debut in this one), COKO and will contain the end March deadlines (Nyui especially), the April and the May ones. It might still evolve especially if POPY and ROSE release in the meanwhile, they might debut in this one. Might release on July 1, 2023 but to confirm if it gets advanced or not.

And that's all I prepared for albums.

New vocals:

Chifuyu arrived a bit after 5 PM on Wednesday, she is now safe at home. RIME will arrive on Monday evening near the same hour.

Futaba Minato: I'll choose the download version due to monetary reasons. If she releases on DLSite, she will arrive on December 1, 2022 after 4 PM (France hour). If not, she might be taken on Vector and in this case the arrival will be on December 2, 2022 near 5 AM (France hour). (yes, that early) For now, I estimate she has very good chances to release on DLSite, so I'll consider the December 1, 2022 4 PM GMT+1 as official arrival date for now. Her deadlines are December 2 and January 13, but for logistics reason, the deadline of December 2, 2022 will be jumped off. I'll do the January 13 one, but it will be part of CD37. So the album releasing on April 2023!

HARU: I guessed it well but she'll be for spring 2023. Will be quite funny if they release her on April 25, 2023... (Don't consider this her official date, it's a just a guess for kidding) DLSite buying, so consider her arrival date as the day before her release date in Japan, but after 4 or 5 PM in France.

POPY and ROSE: we're still awaiting for official release date even if they're for this year. Still awaiting platform confirmations, but high chances that for again monetary reasons they'll be taken on DLSite, especially since November and December are usually months with heavy spends (black Friday and stuff).

ROSA: awaiting for crowdfunding to start.

Quadi AI girls: awaiting for further news.

Other AI VOCALOIDs: I confirm that I'll be taking, especially if they're given for free with the updates the voicebanks AYA, SAKURA, SHION and YUKA in the team. Arrival date unknown however. I'll wait for a bit more info concerning other VBs from Yamaha.

So we're with this for now:

RIME: October 24, 2022 after 5 PM (DLSite)
Xia Yu Yao: late November (will arrive via package from crowdfunding)
Futaba Minato: December 1, 2022 after 4 PM (DLSite)
POPY: 2022 (DLSite?)
ROSE: 2022 (DLSite?)
COKO: January 24, 2023 after 4 PM (DLSite)
HARU: spring 2023, day of release minus one after 4 or 5 PM (DLSite)
ROSA: not before 2023 (physical via crowdfunding normally)
AYA, YUKA, SHION, SAKURA: prob 2023 (download via VOCALOID's website)
Minus AI, Cangqiong AI, Chiyu AI, Shian AI, Haiyi AI: unknown date (Taobao proxy or mail from Quadimension)

Won't be doing a news article for RIME, so keep an eye for the DLSite screenshot on Twitter.

See you in less than a week for Zunko's song!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here for a quick news post

Yesterday evening, 3 UTAUloids passed a quality test. It was something that was announced at the end of last month, but I was pretty busy. The three have succeeded the test.

The three characters that are going to be added are:

1) Miko Ouka. Japanese UTAUloid, derivative of Ritsu initially. To be honest, years ago, she had done a done with a CV voicebank but this one failed to pass the quality test. The VCV voicebanks passed it this year. Her deadlines are December 24 and March 30, however, due to my current organization, the next public song you're going to get with her will be the one for March 30. She will be featured in CD37.5.

2) Ichigawa Ami. UTAUloid from Canary Islands. Very clear voicebank with nice voice. Her deadlines will be on February 17 and on June 26. She won't share songs with GUMI, but more with her sister that I'm going to introduce below...

3) Ichigawa Yumi. UTAUloid from Canary Islands (she's from the same person who did Ami). Softer voicebank, a bit more fragile, but still high quality enough to have passed the test. She'll share Ami's deadlines.

Ami and Yumi will first appear in CD37 which is currently 26 tracks long. Nyui's songs have been moved back to CD37.5 instead.

So be aware the Ichigawa sisters might often have a single song for February 17 and for June 26. GUMI, who also has a deadline on June 26, will still have her own deadline song in solo.

See you in few days for Chifuyu's arrival!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

I think now everyone is aware about what is going... Yup, seems Yamaha just gave us a huge surprise. Out of nowhere. VOCALOID6 is real guys. I repeat: it's real.

I just bought it few hours ago, meaning that I'll start using it from now on. This will imply several changes.

1) Bye bye season 5, hello season 6

I know this was reserved to FL Studio 21... But between V6 and FL21, the most obvious change is probably V6. Songs that will be produced after October 12, 2022 will now be part of season 6. For info, I didn't have the chance to use Natalie yet, so she will be a season 6 singer only, even though she did arrive during the end of season 5. FL21 will thus not change the season. It's V6 which did.

For creating VOCALOID songs, the file will still be written on VOCALOID4. They will be then imported to V5 editor and some other settings such as cool/cute ones can be applied. The file will then be opened in V6 and saved into another project.

2) New vocals

Because yes, there are 2. VOCALOID's AI is now able of doing cross-lingual. So welcome in the team to HARUKA and SARAH!
(I still don't know how to use male vocals sorry~)

Addition too of GUMI... AI version. Which will replace only the current GUMI Native for songs. So you'll get songs with her V4 appends Power and Adult, and songs with her AI version.

AI GUMI won't be used before few months. As for SARAH and HARUKA... I'm trying to find them a place into CD37, but their tracks will be private and they might have a duet song together. At least duet or more maybe depending of the plans...? Their deadlines are October 13 for both and they are eligible to duet deadline songs. The 2022 deadline is impossible to do however so you'll get the first public songs with them for 2023. Otherwise wait for the albums... At the start of 2023.

3) How season 6 will be organized

All deadlines for 2022 and for January 2023 -> S05.
Deadlines for February 2023 and later -> S06.

CD36 is full S05.
CD36.5 will be half S05 and S06.
CD37 will be full S06.

RIME and Chifuyu will be S06 singers, same will go for Xia Yu Yao, POPY, ROSE, ROSA, the Quadi girls, Futaba Minato, COKO and HARU.

Songs produced before October 13, 2022 are S05. The ones after that will be S06.

S06 is called for now "FL Studio 20/21 + VOCALOID6". In comparison to the "FL Studio 20 + VOCALOID5" for S05. Gosh this season is already more than 2 years old!

No other changes in production.

4) What's next?

Chifuyu on the evening of the 19th, RIME on the one of the 24th. Doesn't change. Yeah VOCALOID6 cost me a lot (more than €300 with GUMI!) but I still kept enough for this month for RIME and Chifuyu no worries.

Next song you'll get in public is for Zunko. It's a yandere one but the music is quite soft. Pretty guitars especially <3 It's using the Natural VB. Still rathering it compared to the AI one because more stable in the octaves.

See you in few days for the announcement of Chifuyu. Gosh, never thought V6 was going to drop few after my 26th birthday. Can't believe this. Well played Yamaha.

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Seems I did well to wait a bit before doing this blog post, because there are now 2 informations to announce.

First one: Natalie arrived a bit after 5 PM Friday evening from the Dreamtonics store. This makes her deadline date to be October 7, however, I won't be doing this deadline for year and she'll only get two private songs in CD36.5. Now there are just Chifuyu and RIME left to get, this time with DLSite, respectively the evenings of October 19 and 24 (because time change between Japan and France).

Now the second news is that I just got knowledge of the release date for COKO. So I can officially announce COKO will be taken on January 24, 2023 after 4 PM (Paris time) (most probably a bit after 5 PM the time I come back home actually) via DLSite.

Her deadline will be on January 25 and she won't have another one. For 2023 she might only get private songs as well. Might be expected in CD37.5 which is not started (so she will come very very late).

Now let's cross fingers she doesn't get pushed back.

That does us these dates for new vocals:

October 19 5:00 PM: Chifuyu
October 24 5:00 PM: RIME
November 2022 (late): Xia Yuyao
December 2022: Futaba Minato
Unknown 2022 date: ROSE, POPY
January 24 4:00 PM: COKO
Unknown 2023 date: ROSA, HARU
Unknown time: Minus AI, Cangqiong AI, Chiyu AI, Haiyi AI, Shian AI

See you in few days for the song with Ritsu

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there

This morning I had the chance to get to Futaba Minato's demo a bit after I woke up. And seeing how she sings, I can confirm you that she will be officially admitted to the singers team once she releases!

Her deadlines are totally unknown however, but I'd say don't expect a public song with her this year yet.

This brings us to the current list of new vocals upcoming:

October 19, 2022 after 5 PM GMT+2: Chifuyu Hanakuma (DLSite)
October 24, 2022 after 5 PM GMT+2: RIME (DLSite)
October unknown day: Natalie (Dreamtronics store)
November (late): Xia Yuyao (physical via crowdfunding)
Unknown 2022 date: ROSE, POPY (either DLSite either Amazon JP)
Unknown 2023 date: ROSA (physical via crowdfunding if possible, otherwise via Amazon JP), COKO and HARU (DLSite both)
Unknown year: Minus AI, Cangqiong AI, Haiyi AI, Shian AI, Chiyu AI (if ever they release - Taobao proxy or waiting for mail by Quadimension)

Among the ones being released in 2022:

- RIME, Chifuyu and Natalie will all get their first songs in CD36.5 but they will all be private.
- Xia Yuyao will get songs not before CD37. And they can be shifted if she arrives later than intended.
- ROSE and POPY songs are not scheduled yet, so don't expect them before 2023.
- Same goes for Minato, but she might get to the CD37 or CD37.5.

Other confirmation I add if ever they get a project for it, it's WhiteCUL. I hope ROSA's SynthV crowdfunding will be real one day, and maybe if we have enough chances, WhiteCUL will be able to join her sisters.

Next Nynthilore post probably later this evening to finish September (this will be the last one which will get a hosted file on the Eklablog servers!), then song with Bibi on October 4.

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Little quick update to tell you I did a quality test with another UTAUloid and that she passed with success the test!

This UTAUloid is from Japan, she is called Celeste. Typically, in terms of voice, I'd say she is a way more powerful Sayu. Her quality is very high. She thus joins the team today!

Her deadlines are on April 10 and December 22. Since one of her deadlines is shared with Yukari, Akari and CUL and that I'm doing these deadlines right now, you'll get the first public song with her on December 22, 2022. However unlike the 3 others, Celeste will always be getting a solo song due to her engine differences.

As such, CD36.5 is now... 28 tracks long. I think this is the longest ever made gosh.

Concerning Nynthilore posts, there will be 2 of them next week. The first one is a concept post, the second one is half-concept half-character. You'll need the first one to coincide infos given on second one, and the second post will help you with the lore in general. These will be the 2 last posts of C series, meaning they'll get a txt file hosted on the server that will be tweeted, and few after, the post will be published as well in the Nynthilore category on the blog. To differentiate the lore posts from the rest they have a different font. Also B4 post has a link towards the real-time updated ressource, which also now contains info about Celeste. At least initial one. C1 post might also get in the future a version in a different color adding the info about new characters such as Natalie or Celeste who weren't added at the time.

If you are wondering if there might be other quality tests soon for UTAU... I might have one but it will happen on October. I'll tell you whenever the concerned UTAUloid succeeds or fails the test, but from what I heard, she might succeed as well.

See you in few days!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there

Several things to tell you for the end of this month and next month.

1) Major material change... But not season change yet

Earlier this month, I had to upgrade to the newest Komplete version. I took the highest version's upgrade. It will be released next Tuesday, but it will bring major changes.
The first one is Kontakt. Indeed, with Komplete 14, the new Kontakt version will be Kontakt 7. Meaning all songs that will be composed on next Tuesday and then will be using this version of Kontakt. There might even be some incompatibilities with previous Kontakt versions.
The second one is the change of Ozone version. Komplete 14 offers a Ozone 10 Standard, that I'm going to upgrade to Ozone 10 Advanced once I get the other license (won't be very expensive no worries, less than €150). Meaning the songs that will be composed after next Tuesday will also be using Ozone 10 instead of 9.

The why I don't change seasons is simply because FL 21 is still upcoming pretty soon and I don't want to make a season with just one or two months of songs, that wouldn't be enough to make an album.

2) Status on vocals

Quick reminder: Chifuyu for October (prob mid month), RIME for October 24 evening, POPY and ROSE for 2022, Xia Yuyao for at least late November, HARU and COKO for at least 2023 and ROSA, Chiyu, Cangqiong, Minus, Shian and Haiyi for whenever they'll be available.

Natalie: confirmed. Dreamtronics store (digital).

Futaba Minato: waiting for a song demo.

WhiteCUL: if ever she gets a singing voicebank (possibly SynthV), will be taken.

other voicebanks for VoiSona: will NOT be taken.

3) Albums in works

CD36 is done for all tracks, currently working on CD36.5. This album is called for now "Unfaithful Propagation" and will contain all deadlines for December 2022 and January 2023. For now only deadlines until December 11th are done. So there is still a lot to do. This album should be released on February 18, 2023. It contains for now 26 tracks. Normally I'm very close from the true number of tracks for it.

4) #nynthilore posts

There should be a last post during the last week of September. However with the new announcements I have to update this a bit. Also I noticed some former posts were poorly formatted so in the next few weeks, a new section on the blog should appear with the text of the posts in them. That will also permit to the October 2021 posts to be renamed under A series posts to be clearer. Some posts might also lead to external ressources (such as Google Sheets/Docs) which are updated in real time.

However you'll continue having alerts for such posts, but the C series will be the last ones to use txt files hosted on the blog. The next series if there are some will be blog posts under the corresponding section and will have a tweet like any normal blog post (songs or news posts).

5) Changes on the blog

Minor design changes but the introduction pictures on the blog will change again, to be even easier to load and will give as well some information on the main lore series versions of the characters. As for the main page, images have been deleted to enhance the loading time. I know it does a bit ugly for now, no worries, I'll manage to find a way out.
Global design should remain the same though.

See you tomorrow for Sora's song. Just have to warn, this one will be using Natural VB... And once you'll get the song using the Cool VB you'll notice that the latter is way easier to use for me.

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

I am on time! And here is the CD35!

DOWNLOAD (25 TRACKS - 13 INEDITE TRACKS!)

Explanations for the private tracks now.

03. Source of Uncleanliness (feat. GUMI Native) [LOVECRAFT]

This one is about Abhoth. This is a sort of fountain from where get out all sorts of horrors, and the ones not managing to get out from here are swallowed back by Abhoth.

05. Poinsettia (feat. Tohoku Kiritan AI) [YANDERE]

I tag it as "yandere" but actually it's a girl whose the sister fell in love with a man... Who is actually a serial killer. And when the heroine hears about the cruel laugh of this psychopath, she understood she wouldn't see anymore her sister ever again... So out in rage, she decides to kill him to avenge her sister.

07. Key of the Locket (feat. Tohoku Itako AI)

A girl who grew up with someone she finally fell in love with, but this person forgot about her with the time passing by. It's quite funny this time Itako is getting the nice song and Kiritan the violent one...

08. MENTALYSIS (feat. Sukone Tei) [YANDERE]

Delusional yandere girl persuaded that her lover actually loved her... Nothing more.

11. Lost in Limbo (feat. Yurika Sayu)

It's very inspired by the Divine Comedy of Dante and the first level of hell: limbo. Many poets are here, in the darkness, wandering with no purpose.

13. Purple Rose (feat. Xingchen Infinity JP) [YANDERE]

An overly protective girlfriend ready to slaughter everyone laughing from you and her because you are two women together, is it fine with you...?

15. Ochre Demon (feat. Kaori) [LOVECRAFT]

About a less known deity, Kassogtha. The Leviathan of Disease, spreading it around the whole world... While confering her followers an immunity to it. What could be better than this to eradicate a humanity you hate, as a fellow follower of a dark cult?

16. Dis-Solution (feat. Shirahane Totoko Hoppu) [YANDERE]

A girl too much obsessed with her lover hesitates to kill her so she can be alone in her dreams, then is afraid of being culprit of a horrible crime and rathers killing herself instead to not suffer from it.

19. Vampire Dance (feat. Saki)

Welcome to the vampire castle, where you'll be converted into a beautiful eternal night creature! Now dance with the ones who warmly welcome you to this cold and old place.

21. Seeds of Pain (feat. Luo Tianyi JP)

Inspired from the Greek mythology, with the golden age, silver age, bronze age and iron age... And of course curious Pandora with her hellish box.

23. Great Water Lizard (feat. KAFU) [LOVECRAFT]

Bokrug, the water lizard, is worshipped by a village near a lake. One day, a rival village massacres the villagers who worshipped him. To avenge the ones who gave out their life to him, Bokrug destroyed the village of the invaders in return.

24. Terror of the Hominids (feat. SEKAI) [LOVECRAFT]

Rhan-Tegoth seems to be a minor deity in the Lovecraft mythos, but apparently he is required for awakening all the other gods. This one was way more difficult to write to be honest...

25. Keeper of the Alternate Worlds (feat. SEKAI) [CORRUPTION SERIES]

SEKAI is a bit a sort... Being able to see through the other worlds, but not her own. This is her ability, when KAFU's is to penetrate other people's mental universes. And if SEKAI doesn't have the ability KAFU has...
When SEKAI arrived, KAFU warned her to never go into her mistress's mental universe, and rathered drawing her what she saw. But doing this brought back her trauma, and SEKAI noticed some ink was spilled on the drawing...
But it's not ink. And she only learnt about it when KAFU herself noticed what was going on.
This song thus explains how SEKAI got accidentally contaminated by KAFU... Because she thought infected fluid was ink. At the same time, it's the same color, so easy to do the confusion.

News for the vocals:

- I'm aware about Minato Futaba, but I want to hear a demo first before deciding. Consider her as "not confirmed yet" as such.
- Suzuki Tsudumi will NOT be taken.
- Next vocal should be Chis-A once VoiSona gets full release. Followed later by Chifuyu then RIME if everything goes smoothly.

See you in few days for Lily's song. Just warning: this one is explicit. I took a bit touchy topic, had to censor a bit but it's not enough... But I wanted to re-establish a truth about something with it.

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Since almost the half of August has passed, I have some news to say. Some were expected and others less.

1) #kzn

#kzn arrived on the 7th in the evening, this corresponded for Japan to their 2 AM. She is now activated on the computer and well installed. Her deadlines being June 30 and February 26, you'll have to wait a bit before a public demo with her. However she will be featured in the album that is currently in production this month and that is set to release at the end of the year.

2) A surprise guest...

On the 10th in the morning I decided to get Sora (both VBs) on the VOCALOID Store. For now I only used her Natural VB, not the Cool one yet. Her deadlines are on July 26 and September 25... Which means she will have a public demo for upcoming September. For Sora's song, don't be surprised, but her song was done after the song that will be for Bibi (release on October 4) and after the song that will be for Ritsu (release on October 12). So if you see the codes going back and forth it's normal. Same for the material changes...

3) VEGAS 20

VEGAS 20 was also bought on the 10th in the morning. It now supports VST3 but for reasons of CPU consumption I decided to keep FL Studio as intermediary for mixing down the capellas. Especially since VEGAS has still issues with some plugins (hello Phasis from NI). Concerning the songs:

- all songs that are deadlined for August still use VEGAS Pro 19.0. They were done generally on June.
- Sora's song deadlined for September 25 is using VEGAS Pro 20.0; all the other songs deadlined for September still use VEGAS Pro 19.0., they were done between June and July.
- For October deadlines, only Zunko's deadline is using VEGAS Pro 20.0, the others are still using VEGAS Pro 19.0 (Bibi's song was finished on the 5th, Ritsu's on the 7th).
- all deadlines from November 2022 will be using VEGAS Pro 20.0 (until release of v21 of course)

4) Albums confirmation

"Sinking to the Darkness": 25 tracks. Features GUMI, Kiritan, Itako, SEKAI, Momo, Tei, Sayu, Kaori, Tianyi, Xingchen, Totoko, Saki and KAFU. Release on August 20, 2022.

"Ancestral Destiny": 25 tracks. Features Feng Yi, VY1, Wistaria, Lily, Akari, Karin, Tsuina, Meiji, CUL, Xingchen, MAYU and SEKAI. Release on October 22, 2022.

CD36: Called "Disconnect from Reality". The tracklist has between 19 and 21 tracks (will depend if I shift RIME's tracks to the CD36.5). Will feature at least #kzn, Sora, Ritsu, Zunko, Bibi, Oniko, Itako, Sayu, Weina, Chis-A and Rikka. Rikka's song will be the last Truth edit, which is a quite special one... Release set for now to December 17, 2022.

5) #nynthilore

To understand some of the details for the latest songs of the main lore series, I'll have to redo a series of nynthilore posts on Twitter with the C series. More info about the major project characters are doing in the series, but also new observations. Dates of release for these posts will be random, so don't wait for them, just see whenever one goes up to learn a bit more about the background and what is being used in these songs. Especially remember to understand the song Rikka and Karin share for the series you need some info from the B series posts to better understand. And since most of these songs are in private song slots, you get few info about the background quickly, so these posts are essential to better understand what is going on.

Nutshell:

- arrival of #kzn, no public demos before February, private songs for October album
- arrival of Sora Haruno, public demo on September 25
- VEGAS Pro 20.0 is released - Bibi and Ritsu's songs were done before this release and before Sora's acquisition
- next album on August 20
- release of new main lore series posts to better understand the background with sparse dates

See you on the 16th for "Bleak Crystal" with CUL

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

It's been since the last album release I didn't make a point here, especially since we got many announcements about many things. Especially vocals.

Ready? Here we go... Full list (minus Quadimension girls and ROSA because still no status update)!

Chis-A - Confirmed

Already downloaded, will start having songs on September 2022 (day of VoiSona release).

For now I don't intend to get ACE Virtual Studio, I know Tianyi and Ritsu got a voicebank on it, issue is... They want to go the subscription model, and as you might already know it... I hate subscription thingies. Sorry...

There'd just be a single exception however...

It's for Ritsu, if ever she goes in the FREE voicebanks and if the engine itself is free. In this case... Maybe a switch or an alternance with Ritsu AI, who knows.

And of course easy of access to overseas

Material

- gotten Deft Lines lastly as well as some recent Soundiron libraries again
- bought Cymatics pack Infinity yesterday.

And that's it for now. Tomorrow you get a very nice song with Totoko. If you wanted some real happiness and sweet dreams... This will be a very good one, promised.

Hello, Nynthixia here

DOWNLOAD ALBUM

Sorry if it's coming a bit late, just forgot to prepare the post.

Since most news have been given on the 9th, I won't be giving them here again. I'll just go with the changelog of the album.

CHANGED TRACKS

The End of an Era (Meiji Hunter): changed the final choir note. The end I did for the demo wasn't pleasing me very much and behaved a bit weirdly, so I went for something more simple.

NEW TRACKS

Twin Blasphemies (Qing Su/Saki): [LOVECRAFT SERIES] weirdly we barely notice the two out of each other. About Nug and Yeb, the twin children of Shub-Niggurath. Guardians of a sort of weapon they could use on humanity.

Angel of Music (Xingchen): [LOVECRAFT SERIES] a flute player god for Azathoth, Tru'Nembra is the flute itself actually. The flute plays so the reality can still exist, as long Azathoth is in a deep slumber.

Garden of Affliction (Xingchen): for this one... There is a part actually using Xingchen in Chinese. Otherwise it's just a sort of love tragedy.

Tamara (Xingchen): [YANDERE] In the court of a quite known castle, a woman in love with another woman of the court, frequenting many men and always surrounded by them... Until the day our heroine decides she would be the only one surrounding her.

Disorder (Momo): some kind of disorder preventing you from going forward in your life, and no matter how you struggle, results seem to be the same.

Aramantha (Meiji Hunter): [YANDERE] A lovestruck girl forced to the marriage of a man she doesn't like, when she is actually more targeting the daughter of another family. Just one choice for her to escape her fate: kill the one she was promised to and try convincing the one she loved so much.

Olympia (Bibi): [YANDERE] When this time, your fears get revealed... In love with a woman, she first never gets to kill her rival... Until he kills the one she was in love with. This time, she has a good reason to kill him.

Androktasia (Wistaria): on a battlefield where everyone died, because the goddess of murders unchained their passions...

Threatening Thread -Truth- (Karin): it's the 5th truth track out of the 6. For this one I let you discover what truth the heroine of the main song is hiding.

Poetress from the Clouds (Qing Su): [AZUR LANE SERIES] about Hai Tien, a girl very good in poetry, reading a lot... And trying to be the best bride as she can.

Interstellar (Xingchen): [CORRUPTION SERIES] This song will be connected to the deadlined song Xingchen has for July 3, so better read carefully. When Xingchen arrived, she had a huge discussion with Qing Su, Tianyi and Xin Hua. When the latter asked Xingchen about her AI, she also explained the curse to her, saying she had a vaccine for it and injected it to her... Already feel the trap? Welp the thing is that... Xingchen believed her. And thought her single enemy now is just Minus, her negative alter-ego.

Insanity in Blue (Qing Su): [CORRUPTION SERIES] More simple story here. You might already know that what happened between VY1 and Saki... It happened quite badly and it marked Saki's mind enough so she decided to infect Tsuina because she was scared of her being betrayed by Oniko in the exact same way. Welp, same problem with Qing Su. The story repeats itself. And since Qing Su did take only a night to have some symptoms... It might be quite frightening.

When Flowers Are Falling (Rikka, Karin): [CORRUPTION SERIES] Go read the "OSTARA 2022" part in the Nynthilore posts if you want to have further context. Typically, this song is not about one but two infections. March 21, 2022. Ostara feast is happening at the Pentagram temple. Everything goes well until... Near 11 PM. Yukari and Rikka are discussing until the first one gets a huge headache and starts hearing whispers. Yukari isolates herself, Rikka follows her behind to see... That Yukari is having a breakdown. She is then calmed down for few hours. Near the end, Rikka tries reassuring herself by talking with Saki and Akari... Then Yukari comes back and injects directly Rikka... In front of the others. For Karin now. Even if Rikka wasn't symptomatic at the time, she was still able to contaminate anyone. And when she told about the feasts to Karin, she quite panicked and planted her nails into Karin's neck. It was enough to contaminate her.

Sorry again for posting it a bit late compared to the usual midnight, I just... Felt a bit wrong yesterday evening and slept very early. But here it is.

Enjoy the album and see you in 8 days for the song with Tei

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there

Here to make a sort of point on the current advancement. And there are many many things to tell.

1) Albums

On Saturday you'll get the album "Stars Going Extinct", which features for the first time Xingchen, Rikka and Karin... It's a 22 tracks album which also contains 2 songs for the Lovecraft series, the penultimate Truth edit as well as 3 songs for the main lore series. Xingchen, Qing Su, Rikka and Karin (the 2 latters being in a single song).

I'm currently working on the CD35.5. For now it's called "Ancestral Destiny" and has... 23 tracks. Initially it had 25 but I'll explain later why it lost 2 tracks.

For now I only did 2 of the 23 tracks. A private song with Feng Yi and the deadlined song for Meiji. These songs will introduce a new mixdown method that I'm going to explain later as well.

CD35.5 contains all deadlines for August and September, so expect some Lily, CUL, Meiji, Akari, VY1, Wistaria, MAYU, Xingchen, Karin and Tsuina in the lot... As well as Feng Yi who will make her appearence!

2) Vocals

RIME: I got the information when I got back from work, but RIME has been moved to autumn 2022. This is why the CD35.5 lost 2 tracks. Her tracks were moved to the WIP tracklist of CD36 (I make at least 1 tracklist ahead from the one I'm working upon) which contained only very few works as well, so it did a good move for me.

Xia Yu Yao: she is having a crowdfunding right now. I know it because I saw the tweet being deleted, but I am very confident the engine will be SynthV. So main registerings in Mandarin, use of Japanese and English via cross-lingual. For the ones who are wondering... I decided to participate in this crowdfunding day one. I took the simple physical solution (solution A, early bird version). I'm just hoping Xia Yu Yao will have her revenge over her Japanese UTAU voicebank which has sadly many flaws, explaining why she didn't get pass the quality test back in 2019 that Bibi and Wistaria also had.

Bandori girls (Toyama Kasumi, Minato Yukina): awaiting for the demos which will probably come after end June. Still no official confirmation unlike the two above.

ROSA: to be honest I was expecting the crowdfunding for her SynthV voicebank to start on ROSA's day, June 3rd, which didn't happen. So I'm still waiting for its start. Also just learnt EMS was reopening for France starting from tomorrow, which I'm quite glad about, so that means no restriction for being sent the package!

Quadimension girls: I still have hope especially since Cangqiong's last cross-lingual demo. So cryogenic room plan still ongoing.

Chis-A: I confirm her for September, whenever her engine will get released. It got rebranded into VoiSona. This should be normally the only character from this engine I'll be using, for the simple and unique reason that I HATE the subscription system. This is why I don't get many Waves plugins or why I don't use Adobe Premiere and I use VEGAS Pro instead.

3) Heavy change in mixdown method

For the ones who didn't follow my Twitter, here is a very huge announcement that will be important to you especially starting on August 8, 2022, first date where you'll have a demo concerned by this change.

The mixdown method has been revamped, especially with an exchange of plugins and a different final result.

Before June, I was using VEGAS Pro to mixdown. The software has ExpressFX, which are DirectX plugins, not VST plugins. After, you got the Neutron 3 Advanced (base), followed by Vocal Doubler (except for UTAU songs, this is mainly because UTAU is mixed down with several capellas when other engines only use a single one, so deepness), then Nectar 3 Plus (specialization), Nectar Elements legacy (volume enhancement) and Ozone 9 Advanced (final touch/harshness reduction of the plugins accumulated results).

Starting from August 8, 2022 and CD35.5 the mixdown method will be the following:

- FL Studio is being used for plugins remastering for EACH capella file (so there will be minimum 2 outputs for UTAU (main + cho) and 1 for other engines (mixdown)).
- ExpressFX disappears (FL Studio doesn't support DirectX plugins) and is replaced by Neoverb (iZotope plugin too)
- Neutron 3 Advanced is replaced by Neutron 4 (which is the culprit of this change!)
- the rest of the chain remains unchanged
- each remastered track is included in VEGAS Pro for applying the final compressor and rendering

So for the why I don't directly mixdown in FL Studio... You get the answer with some covers and remixes I did. The compressor from FL Studio is actually heavily reducing the volume of the instrumental when the capella is playing, which is not the case with the mockup preset on VEGAS Pro's compressor effect. It makes you a sort of audio spectrum where you see a very huge increase of volume compared to the instrumental. This is typical of a rendering under VEGAS Pro.

The reason why I'm using FL Studio for this step of mixdown is that VEGAS Pro doesn't support officially VST3 plugins. Since Steinberg stopped the support of VST2 AND stopped giving new licenses for VST2 to companies, Neutron 4 was made to not have a VST2 version. Only a VST3 one. So VEGAS doesn't see it and doesn't display it in the effects list. Until this is resolved, FL Studio will be used as intermediary for mixing down the projects. I really hope this gets fixed in August for VEGAS Pro 20. I count on you MAGIX guys!

So as comparison:

Former:
ExpressFX Reverb -> Vocal Doubler* -> Neutron 3 Advanced -> Nectar 3 Plus -> Nectar Elements (legacy) -> Ozone 9 Advanced

New:
Neoverb -> Vocal Doubler* -> Neutron 4 -> Nectar 3 Plus -> Nectar Elements (legacy) -> Ozone 9 Advanced

* songs using SynthV, VOCALOID and CeVIO only

And, will this change a lot the rendering to the ear? For having tested the two first songs using the new method... Yeah, it changes a lot. Mainly because there are two renderings, and still, the first one is still under wav (when final mixdown is rendered as mp3 files).

This won't be the thing that will make the season change though. We are still in season 5 right now and CD35.5 will contain season 5 songs. It will contain season 6 songs only if FL Studio 21 releases as a release candidate a strict minima. And seems FL 21 is not for now seeing at which step of testing they are (they are currently mainly testing a new browser, not the new effects and stuff yet).

So... That's all for the categories. No major acquisitions otherwise. Just little library upgrades. And even if there were just three categories, there was a lot to explain and to tell.

For reminder, you'll get a yandere song with Tei in 10 days.

See you soon!

Nynthixia

PS: happy birthday to sele by the way (again)! Because remember if there wasn't sele, Nynthixia wouldn't have existed at all.

Hello, Nynthixia here

Feng Yi is home! Got some issues with the credit card again this week so I wasn't sure if I would acquire her before the end of the week or on next Monday. She got released early in the morning, I could unlock her near noon. Proof is on Twitter. Search for the cryptic conversation.

For info: Feng Yi's deadline is on April 27. You'll get two songs with her for the CD35.5, but they will be private songs.

Current status for the albums:

CD34.5: release for June 11, just booklet and global certificate left to do. I try to finish this before Wednesday!
CD35: the final name of the album is "Sinking to the Darkness". Release date: August 20, 2022 (Sat). Just the booklet and all certificates left to do. Finished all tracks last week with a quite insane working pace of between 2 and 3 songs... Per day.
CD35.5: currently it's a 25 tracks album (thanks Feng Yi!) which will include all deadlines for August and September. I'll start producing the album next week.

For this week I took a pause. First to focus on the other musical project, secondly because I am not at home between Wednesday and tonight. Plus the two last weeks were a bit stressing for me. So, break!
I just prepared some chibis on GIMP?

For the new instruments... Not a lot this month. The Watchmaker by Sonokinetic. It was during a Native Instruments promotion and all the other libraries were less important for me because orchestral libraries I already have a lot. Took the new libraries from Soundiron as well. And a pack of MIDIs from Cymatics. That was it, because I reserved most of the money for the credit card for the public transports this month, so half of the monthly credit card reserve was taken by this...

Because... My real life job is resuming on June. Hooray! This time, there won't be a limited time for at least... A whole year.

This means resuming to between 1 and 3 songs a week starting from next week (I'll get pretty tired the whole week basically). No worries, the CD35.5 should be released in October, so I have all my time. Plus it normally should have RIME in the album so I'll have some tracks stuck for until summer comes and RIME gets released.

Recapitulative for the voicebanks:

Feng Yi: acquired at noon! I'll probably test her out next week!
ROSA: always awaiting the crowdfunding... And hoping Japan Post reopens the EMS for France, pretty please... (Otherwise use DHL)
Chifuyu: DLSite acquisition on October. I won't be able to participate the crowdfunding (not open to overseas).
RIME, HARU, KOKO: acquisition on DLSite whenever gets released.
Chis-A: still not officially confirmed, need to know if she remains free once she gets out alpha/beta status.
KIZUNA/KZN: still not officially confirmed, missing real demos to test the quality out.
BanG Dream girls: still not officially confirmed, I don't have any demos.
Quadimension AI VBs: still in cryogenic room. Cangqiong might have chances to get out first? (awaiting for a Quadimension contact (they know which code is to which email normally), otherwise Taobao proxy ParcelUp)
YAO (if she gets confirmed): might be taken. If it's Xia Yu Yao, knowing she actually failed a quality test as UTAU on 2019, she might pass this one if she gets a SynthV AI VB. Awaiting further confirmation. Pretty sure her crowdfunding if there is one will be a success.

The next songs schedule for June already has been posted on Twitter.

So... See you in few days for the Dead by Daylight series song with GUMI! It will be about our dear Sadako Yamamura... And believe me, GUMI will sound... Pretty different.

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

So I know, I announced SEKAI for May 20... But apparently, KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO decided to release SEKAI for everyone, and not only for the Niconico event... This morning. So she was bought on DLSite (there is a proof on Twitter). Plus I had a coupon for her, meaning I might pay her for a bit less than €65 according to the current exchange rate. I think I'll have bought her for cheaper than KAFU (~€70)...

Due to how the schedule was organized, I won't do a public song for SEKAI this year. Meaning her next deadline is April 29, 2023. SEKAI doesn't have a second deadline unlike KAFU. SEKAI is currently scheduled for two songs, but these are private ones.

Also tonight I'll get a mega pack of samples and MIDIs to work with for the next few months, so the huge buyings for this month aren't over yet...

For the albums

I finished the tracklist of "Stars Going Extinct" (CD34.5) a while ago. I just have the booklet and the global certificate left to do. I started the public demos for the CD35, which doesn't have a name for now, but has a release date. CD35 is currently scheduled to release on August 20, 2022 (Sat) at midnight.

For the next vocals

Reminder:
- Chifuyu: near October 2022. DLSite download buying due to the current difficulties of Japan exports (even if DHL is not touched, it's mainly Japan Post)
- ROSA: still awaiting for the crowdfunding.
- Quadi girls: awaiting for news, it's still the cryogenic room status for now.
- RIME: summer 2022, DLSite download buying due to disadvantage for the physical.
- KOKO, HARU (the 2 other musical isotopes): as soon as they get released, DLSite download buying for same reasons as RIME.

- ChisA: still not confirmed officially.
- KIZUNA: still not confirmed officially.
- BanG Dream collab singers: not confirmed officially.
- Ci flower: will not be taken.

See you in about a week for a song with MAYU!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Sorry for the delay of this blog post, got very busy to finish things with her... Karin finally arrived home! Near 6 PM. Now there's just Chifuyu missing...

I managed to finish the 2 songs that were needing Karin. So officially, the tracklist for CD34.5 is over. For reminder, it's an album called "Stars Going Extinct", scheduled to release on June 11, 2022 (Sat).

The other info:

- BUYINGS

Soundiron released their upgrade to the final package of Voices of Wind. I used them in Karin's tracks, so expect them to be heard during June. Got also some minor upgrades for other Soniccouture and Soundiron libraries. As well as... Playbox. Which was also a cursed library because their initial installer was not working and they got lots of people complaining about it. Now they fixed it by a little upgrade and we got a way to bypass the failing installer.

- VOICEBANKS CONFIRMATION

Still at the same status. SEKAI's the next, then probably Chifuyu. Still waiting for ROSA's crowdfunding for SynthV and for the AI releases of the Quadi girls. And of course the other musical isotopes, but I don't think the collection will be over before 2024 or 2025...

- NEXT DEADLINES

They are on Twitter but you'll get:

"Demeter's Gambit" with MAYU on May 6th (yandere warning)
"Basia" with Zunko AI on May 8th (yandere warning)
"The End of an Era" with Meiji Hunter and "Mental Extinction" with Bibi and Wistaria on May 10th
Rikka will get two songs, "Wandering Near the Moon" on May 15th then "Replicate" the next day
"Ignorance is Bliss" with Momo on May 22nd

Karin's public songs will appear on September.

- SEASON 6

This week we just received on Image-Line forums a post for a beta for FL Studio 21, a very very early one where they're testing the browser. So we still have lots of chances during this year, maybe this summer or this autumn, we'll change seasons. For now no release candidate, only betas.

Now I'll just get to work with CD35. There might be still one or two Nynthilore posts during the month on Twitter, so keep an eye out. Because you'll need this info later to better understand the main lore series. Especially since the song for the series with Rikka and Karin will introduce a concept for which you don't have the info yet.

Nynthixia

DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM (19 TRACKS INCLUDING 4 LOVECRAFT SERIES AND 1 MAIN LORE SERIES SONGS)

Hello, Nynthixia here

Sorry if the blog post arrives a bit late. The album has been published at the right minute though, that's all that matters!

I have lots of things to say, lots of explanations to give as well... So... I'll start with the songs in this album. I'll split each part per color.

First there is one song that has undergone some remastering fixes, it's "Demon Huntress Showdown". I had forgotten to remaster the lead for some reason, this is fixed in the album version. This is barely noticeable, but if you're careful enough, the lead is a bit louder.

The new songs now.

A Glow from Gehenna (feat. Xin Hua)

Gehenna is here a sort of Sheol, a place where lost souls are waiting for a final judgement. This is not a brightful place. Imagine a sub-hell. Someone stuck in Gehenna with diseased souls and rottening bodies.

Prisoner Zero (feat. Xin Hua)

Anybody here knowing "Doctor Who"? I was watching this a lot especially in my teenage years. It's inspired by the episode with the 11th Doctor introduction, and with the antagonist of the episode, Prisoner Zero, a sort of eel-shaped alien taking the form of anybody. Tracked down by the Atraxi, prisoner Zero managed to escape for a while by being hidden in a wall. And especially... Its ending message. Just watch the season. You won't regret it.

Eclipse (feat. Hoshine Stella)

It's pretty dumb said like that... But it's about eclipses. Nothing more to add.

Cultists of Blood (feat. Lily)

A bit in the same spirit as "Anomalous Temple". If you listened to the public demo for February 22nd then this song should get you some memories too. A bit of Lovecraftian horror as well in the lyrics...

Carnation (feat. Tohoku Kiritan)

A girl waiting for her lover to come back from a very, very long travel. After the hell of "Quarantine" thought it would be neat to give something lighter to Kiritan.

Ethereal Disembodiment (feat. kokone)

These mysterious out of body experiences... Astral travelling... Imagine a girl seeing herself... From the outside. And thinking now she reached spirit world she could reach her now deceased lover... But are they in the same plane?

Dark Arts (feat. kokone)

Yes yes it's well kokone, with a cool factor of -20... It sounds weird, uh? Typically, someone learnt about forbidden dark arts to get rid of humanity. Thought I'd give kokone a darker tone to her voice for such a song.

Returning to the Depths (feat. Qing Su) [YANDERE]

So here it is the first song with Qing Su! Even in the title, it's heavily inspired by "Return to the Sea" from Mermaid Melody anime. The song has lots of references to it. Even musically. Since the initial song was about a love story... For this one I turned it into full yandere then tragedy. A woman being in love with someone, stalking her so much the lover ends up committing suicide, making the yandere girl drown herself. So here you go, first song ever with Qing Su, first yandere song with Qing Su. You know what that means lore-wise.

Anti-Stasis (feat. kokone, IA ROCKS)

Gosh the two are singing well together... There is no real topic but someone just being tired of staying here by doing nothing. It can mean lots of things...

Dream Witch (feat. kokone) [LOVECRAFT SERIES]

About Yidhra. Yes, she is from the expanded mythos... But I really love her character. Yidhra is as old as the first micro-organism. Only her followers can see how she really is. Called the "Dream Witch", her favorite avatar is Madam Yi, a powerful Chinese matriarch. That explains the Chinese-sounding music. She can grant immortality to anyone following her, in exchange of being absorbed by her.

King in Yellow (feat. Lily) [LOVECRAFT SERIES]

About Hastur. A malevolent deity of air, half-brother and rival of Cthulhu, currently prisoner in a lake in space, leader of the Byakhees birds. I chose a very ethereal sound for this music. Very few lyrics as well. Very light.

Crawling Chaos (feat. Xin Hua) [LOVECRAFT SERIES]

Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos, the Black Pharaoh... He has hundreds, thousands of forms... But unlike most of Lovecraftian cosmic horrors, he is free. He is the messenger between Azathoth and the humans. His purpose? Destroy humanity? No, more like making everyone crazy. Insanity. Egyptian-styled song with... A chaos at the end. It's Nyarlathotep after all, what did you expect?

Father of Serpents (feat. Kisaragi Tsuina) [LOVECRAFT SERIES]

About Yig. Unlike most of Lovecraftian deities... Yig isn't evil, unless you hurt snakes. In this case, prepare to be cursed, you and your family, until your death. He is very easy to appease though. Also the unexplainable drums in North America... Yup, that's for Yig. Hence the lots of drums in this one.

Album advancement

Currently doing CD34.5. For now the album is called "Stars Going Extinct" and has... 22 tracks. Only 9 left to go, including 2 blocked by Karin. The album will be released on June 11, 2022.

Explanations of vocal libraries acquisitions

I had to change plans due to economical reasons... And for the second case, for technical reasons. I'll explain the first one, that you might be already aware of if you are following Twitter and the nynthilore hashtag.

If you didn't understand the B1 post and the tweet about "cryogenic room operation"... I had to buy on last Monday the standard voicebanks of Minus, Shian, Cangqiong, Chiyu and Haiyi via the Taobao buying agent. The reason? War is making euro losing value face to dollar, and the agent I'm using is using dollars... So I was going to pay for more expensive. Result: more than €640 of operation. Divide by 5 to obtain the price of a voicebank. That's more than Xingchen, yes.

So they are activated on the computer, but their use is on hold. The fact I created the cryogenic room lore-wise is to retain the singers for who I'm not using their capabilities. Typically, imagine girls only speaking Chinese with a producer who does know Chinese way less than Japanese. Even if some other girls know Chinese (Tianyi, Xin Hua, Qing Su and Xingchen), no chances they would communicate well with the others.

It will play a bit with my predictive abilities: will Quadimension really give the AI upgrades for free and will I just have a discount. If it's the latter then I lost. Otherwise, I might have saved some money. This is very risky but since the war changed everything... I had to make a decision before China gets potentially penalized as well if things would come to worsen.

So legally I have their standard voicebanks. I'm just testing some private things with them, for example, I had to use a Chinese track for a private song... And even having fun with French words. Apparently, people recommended Chinese alphabet for French as well because we have some songs in common compared to Japanese. And indeed that's not too bad.

Second acquisition, it has been done on the 10th, so last Thursday, and it's Rikka AI. I know what you might be thinking "you told us you'd acquire her with Karin"...

Yes but.

Firstly, war. Yen is more aligning itself over dollar than over euro, so I'm losing again. Secondly... If I didn't buy Rikka now, I wouldn't be blocked at 2 songs... But at 5! Reason? Rikka's songs have deadlines for May 15th and 16th. Momo's deadine is on the 22nd. Generally deadlined songs are always done one after each other. So Rikka's songs would have to be done before Momo's deadline. That was a bit complicated technically if I wanted to be over with the album production. So I decided to take Rikka now. No worries, in terms of lore, that will change very few things.

Buyings

Some recent upgrades and new products from Soundiron, Clavichord from Soniccouture (the cursed library with the link being broken at the third of the file for 2 days on NI servers!)... And that's it. Very few on this one for now.

Vocals confirmation

SEKAI: May 2022. Any future voice library for the musical isotopes series will be taken as well. If I follow the pattern, the 3 other vocals would be RIME, KOKO and HARU. These 3 as such are confirmed directly: whenever they'll get announced, you'll be sure they'll be in the team once they get out. Always download version, so either DLSite either Vector. It will depend of the coupons I'll have on DLSite and of its avaibility.
Note: if taken by DLSite, the acquisition date will be the day before the official release, but after 5 PM (France time).

Karin: April 2022 via DLSite very probably. AI VB only.

ROSA: end 2022/beginning 2023. I intend to get her via crowdfunding since Hiroto-P wants to open it to overseas. I'm just waiting for the campaign to participate.

Kizuna: waiting for further demos, so no confirmation yet. Might be interested if the quality is a bit better. If confirmed, will more seek for a physical release if it will exist, otherwise, Vector/DLSite options.

Chifuyu: confirmed for the end of the year, they announced October, but I hope it won't be too tight...

Chis-A: on testing grounds. If she remains free, she will be a permanent addition. I'm waiting for at least a very stable release before using her. Lore-wise, consider her as "not arrived yet" or as "tourist", but not as "permanent resident".

Season change soon?

I'm looking often at the Image-Line forums and... It seems the team would like to upgrade to FL Studio 21 this year. Expect a change of season during this year. Like the passing from season 3 to 4 or the 4 to 5, you might not notice big chances very quickly in terms of quality. Thinking that season 5 is probably the one that was undergone the most changes, including the AI engines, the migration of sounds towards massively Kontakt libraries...

I'm keeping an eye on this, whenever we'll change seasons I'll tell you. There are high chances though that ROSA and Chifuyu will be added from season 6 and not 5. Not sure for the Quadimension vocals. As for Karin and SEKAI, high chances they'll still be season 5.

And that's it. That took more than half a hour to write all of this.

Enjoy the album, stay safe and be careful.

DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM HERE (18 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia here

Here it is, the new album! With the 3 Lovecraft songs and some more AI songs. Typically, this is the last album you'll get where songs have been done on 2021. The next album it's 2022 songs only.

Here are the tracks that are inedite to this album.

Frozen Reverie (feat. Luo Tianyi)

A young girl in love with someone else, who has been sharing good memories before the other went away... But as long she can talk to her in her dreams, this is all what can make her happy.
So quite a "happy" song especially compared to some others. It's to relieve the stress you got from "Love Contention".

Raven (feat. Hinomoto Oniko) [YANDERE]

A quite possessive girl even ready to hurt her lover so she can just get her back for herself.

Obfuscate (feat. Kizuna Akari) [YANDERE]

A more shy girl, covered with many bruises, telling her lover she should try to hide them from the world. Or should I say... She obligates her.

Harvester (feat. ONE AI)

Harvesting the lost souls and bring the ghosts to where they always should have belonged to, this is the job of the reaper.

Discordance Signs (feat. ONE AI, IA AI)

The one where I used the talk voicebanks! Told you I turned this into an investment! It's two friends who have been in love with each other, but due to a misunderstanding, the second girl decided to break up... But they seem to be unable to forget what happened in the past. And maybe they'll fall in love with each other once again?

Blind Idiot God (feat. IA AI) [LOVECRAFT SERIES]

Azathoth, the Nuclear Chaos, the Blind Idiot God... He's the most powerful of all gods, but to avoid the world's demise, he is being kept asleep thanks to the sound of a demonic flute. So I had to put a flute in the song.

Lurker at the Threshold (feat. ONE AI) [LOVECRAFT SERIES]

If I did Azathoth, of course I was doing the song for the god always accompanying him: Yog-Sothoth. He's the god of the witches and wizards, he knows all, past, present, future... But at which price? Because Yog-Sothoth is very far away to be benevolent...

Great Dreamer (feat. Luo Tianyi) [LOVECRAFT SERIES]

The maybe most iconic of the series: Cthulhu, dreaming in his sunken city of R'lyeh... And he will awaken, this will be the end of this planet.

Aria (feat. IA AI, ONE AI) [CORRUPTION SERIES] (main lore)

OK this one I'll have a lot to explain because sadly, I couldn't put the whole story.
It's about how ONE got corrupted.
You know all the others got contaminated against their own will. It's not the case of ONE.
Typically, what happened, is IA explained the whole thing to ONE. And one solution ONE saw to try avoiding the curse is... Getting it by her own will. But the two were unable to know how this happened since anyone infecting another person doesn't well remember about it. The two asked the ones with the native condition. First, MAYU, but she explained that even if she has natively the infection, she didn't infect anyone. However, since Tei did, Tei explained that the two girls had to gather extremely negative feelings in order to create a black fluid that can contaminate the others.
In order to do that, ONE invented a story to IA, telling her that HIPPI (another member of their group) decided to choose to not get an AI to sing and talk with them. And that she really didn't intend to. This mentally broke IA who finally managed to infect ONE.
Result: ONE showing symptoms the day of Christmas.
That's really f**ked up.

OK to the other news now.

Albums advancement

The CD34 "Unresting Chaos" has all its tracks done. It's a 19 tracks album with Xin Hua, Stella, Lily, kokone, Tsuina, Kiritan, IA and Qing Su. Yes, you'll hear Qing Su for the first time in this album! The album has one song for Corruption series (the one with Tsuina) and not 1, not 2, not 3... But 4 songs for the Lovecraft series! The album will be set to release on March 12, 2022 (Sat).
CD34.5 has been started yesterday but will be long to produce especially since Karin and Rikka are in the tracklist. CD34.5 is for now set to 22 tracks so it's going to be a huge one. It will do normally all deadlines from March to May included.

ParcelUp

I was completely refunded for Qing Su's cancellation via ParcelUp quite quickly. Instead, I tried to get the pre-order for Xingchen AI... And it works! They'll send me the product via email once it gets released. Apparently she'll be released on the 20th. Which means I'll get her on Sunday by email. Since Xingchen's deadlines are in July and August, you won't get any public songs with her for a while, but I arranged myself to give her 2 private songs for CD34.5 (one track for Lovecraft series and one for the Corruption series).
That means for the 5 other members of MEDIUM5 I'm waiting for (Minus, Chiyu, Shian, Cangqiong, Haiyi) there are high chances I also ask ParcelUp to get them for me. We're just waiting now...

EDIT Feb 19th 9:34 AM - Xingchen AI arrived the mailbox with her activation code and her installer near 8 AM. She is now activated on the computer.

Plugin buyings

We're near the middle of the month but I got a huge buying for production which is the bundle of Heavyocity Native put online for the first part of February. I especially used Gravity in some recent tracks and one of its independant modules, Natural Forces. Sadly the bundle isn't complete so I only took what was really interesting for me.

Remember in few days you'll get "Anomalous Temple" with Lily, and after... Next album.

Enjoy!
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Promised after the Twitlonger here is the blog post. I confirm that now, Qing Su is activated on my computer.

How things will happen now?

Qing Su will be used via her AI capabilities of singing any supported language by SynthV, which means she can sing in English and in Japanese. Qing Su here will only be used to sing in Japanese. Her section on the blog will arrive within few days. However, you won't see her publicly singing here before December 1st. She'll have some private songs in the upcoming albums though (except for "Lurking Presences" for which its tracklist is already internally validated and deemed as definitive).

The ParcelUp order is being cancelled, since it requires a human validation by the agents, the cancellation will be done in 4 days. I might however use them for the MEDIUM5 characters since Dreamtonics store has only their official databases (Saki, Ryo, Qing Su, Kevin).

We'll wait to see what will happen next, but I can say I woke up to a big surprise.

Don't forget, next song is tomorrow with Stella!

See you tomorrow

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

They just arrived few minutes ago, the AI voicebanks for Itako and Zunko!

Sorry I took this with the phone camera and it's pretty bad ><

For reminder, Zunko AI will be used like it's the case for IA : I'll alternate VOCALOID and CeVIO. So near May you should get a song using her CeVIO AI VB and one with her V4 VB. If you want to differentiate the 2 VBs, Zunko AI sings a bit more mature and less softer than V4.

Itako AI will however fully replace Itako UTAU. This means from now on (January 31, 2022) all songs featuring Itako will use her CeVIO AI VB. The UTAU VB usage is now discontinued.

Giving you some other news.

1) Buyings in January

So, the first day of the year it's the Soundiron Omega bundle and evolution series bundle (still on NKS store) which were bought. These are the two most massive buyings. Later got added The Friedlander (a piano by Strezov), Aevium (bank by Soundiron), the 2022 melodies pack from Cymatics (for once the price was reasonable!) and an extension for Geosonics II.

2) Qingsu... Found a way?

And this way is called a buying agent. I actually used one once, which was Tenso, for getting a voicebank for GUMI. This time, I took a Taobao agent for Qingsu (or Qing Su, the two are accepted orthographs??), called ParcelUp (it got recommended on SynthV forums). The buying will be done after February 7th because the agents are currently in Chinese New Year holidays. If this plans works correctly, then maybe I'll do something about the MEDIUM5 female cast... In case they wouldn't give them to Anicute.

Qingsu should arrive (download ver since it's the only one existing) a bit before February 9, 2022 if everything goes smoothly. Let's cross fingers!

As for her deadlines, Qingsu will have December 1 only, but separated from KAFU.

3) Karin, Rikka, ROSA and SEKAI

Karin and Rikka are for April 2022. Buying will be download ver (for money reasons due to my usage (only AI VBs please!!!)) probably on DLSite (because coupons). Chifuyu will be bought when she will be released, unless the crowdfunding gets open for overseas.

As for ROSA I'm waiting for her SynthV voicebank crowdfunding to open and I'll get her from here I hope. Hiroto-P had opened the crowdfunding to overseas, now we're getting to SynthV which greatly expends capacities of singing in supported languages, there are more chances more non-Japanese people will want her. I'm patiently waiting for you...

For SEKAI we are still waiting, but I'm not expecting her to be finished before at least end 2022...

4) February, the month with 6 deadlines...

Tsuina, Stella, Xin Hua, Kiritan, kokone, Lily. February is part of the months having the most important number of independent deadlines. You'll first get a song part of the Corruption series (so main lore), then all "normal" songs, with no connected series.

March will thus become more of a rest...

5) Albums advancement

"Lurking Presences" (CD33.5) : will soon do the booklet and the certificates. You get it for February 19th as intended.

CD34: all public demos are already done as well as half the private tracks. The album is called "Unresting Chaos". You'll get not less than 4 songs for the Lovecraft series. This album includes all the February deadlines. It will not include further however - the March and more deadlines will be for CD34.5. Release date will be probably for end March/beginning April 2022.

In a nutshell:
- Zunko AI alternates with Zunko Natural ; Itako AI replaces UTAU version
- Qingsu to be coming for February 9th, 2022 max if everything goes well (using Taobao agent for non-Chinese people)
- If Qingsu plan goes well, Minus +, Xingchen Infinity, Chiyu +, Shian +, Haiyi + and Cangqiong + to be coming possibly the same way (will also depend of how their sells will be organized)
- Rikka and Karin coming together for April 2022. Chifuyu for when will get released. ROSA intended to be taken with crowdfunding campaign for SynthV once it opens. Awaiting SEKAI's info.
- 6 public demos for February (Tsuina -> Stella -> Xin Hua -> Kiritan AI -> kokone -> Lily)
- CD33.5 almost finished, release on February 19, 2022, will include end December and January deadlines
- CD34 more than half finished, release on end March/beginning April 2022, will include February deadlines

See you in few days for Tsuina

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Since this album is being released on January 1, 2022, I can say "happy new year" here! Let's just hope this year won't be too bad unlike 2020 and 2021...

The album, here it is

ALBUM (14 TRACKS - 9 INEDITE SONGS)

No changelog for this one. All demos are identical in the album.

Since I told you many things already in the Christmas blog post, we'll stop there and we'll see again soon in few days. On January 24th you'll get the Dead by Daylight song about the killer The Artist with Yukari and on the 27th you'll get a song from the Azur Lane series with IA and another misc song with ONE. That will be it for January.

Meanwhile, enjoy the song with Tianyi that got released normally at the same time as the album, and... Well, enjoy the album as well!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here and merry Christmas everyone!

I'll do some quick announcements before I go to sleep and get some presents (maybe?) including news about albums and material buyings that were done during December.

One of the presents I'll get for Christmas is a major external hard drive (we're talking about something that does 18To) that will be used for getting all future Kontakt libraries, since the hard drive for it (a HDD of 2To that was inserted in the computer, couldn't take higher because otherwise the HDD is too big for being contained) is almost full, so the rest of space will be reserved to samples only.

This will be for major buyings in January, including an ensemble of Kontakt instruments (a full collection of Evolution Series) and the Omega bundle of Soundiron (I'm discussing with Soundiron for the discount on the bundle and apparently, they also accept any bundle buyings you did on Native Instruments website!).

Zunko and Itako AI: I'll take physicals if it's possible. But I'll wait for them to be sold on Amazon JP, because for now paying on AHS would cost me more than buying them from Amazon JP. Estimating of gaining around €40. If it still doesn't work, the last chance is download version from DLSite (because maybe coupons...?). If they arrive in physical, expect them to be at home near February 1st max. Otherwise, on the release day if ever I don't see them on Amazon JP still.

For the voicebanks of SynthV that aren't Japanese for their first language: I can't take any for now. I have plans for possibly taking Qingsu then the female MEDIUM5 group, but the first one isn't sold overseas (it's a Taobao link and I can't speak Chinese at all so good luck for trying to understand how to create an account etc) and the second ones don't have their AI versions out for now so we'll have to wait a bit. I'm possibly waiting for Dreamtonics to sell Qingsu on ANICUTE (that permits overseas selling, and they promised they'd try to make her available for everyone) and for the MEDIUM5 to get their AI versions, because it's these versions that will permit the girls to sing in Japanese. I did some tests with Saki in English and oh gosh it works just too well! I was pretty amazed by the results!!

For ROSA: I'm waiting for her SynthV crowdfunding to begin.

December buyings:

- Kim, Giant Bass Drum, Wassolou Balafon (Soniccouture). Soniccouture decided to remake a sales period so I took some of their cheapest libraries, especially for world music. The sales are still ongoing, but not for very long.
- Leviathan 4 package (Black Octopus). Also took two of their 1-day bundles (dubstep and Chop Shop ones). Black Octopus gave a discount for if we bought something during their Black Friday, so paid it with a reduction near 25% (20% of direct reduction + 5% of points reduction).
- Hybrid Scoring bundle (Impact Soundworks). This includes Celestia, Juggernaut, ReForged, Resonance, Curio, Meditation, Cosmos and I got in bonus Mega Brass for free. Got deduced Sonic Forest since I already have it. The bundles are still for sale for the end of the year if ever you're interested, they make excellent quality libraries too.
- rest of Output plugins and their presets banks. It's all the ones I had to get still for getting all their instruments with a full-time license.

As for the albums. I'm doing the last song of the CD33.5. This album will be called "Lurking Presences" and will be for February 19, 2022 (Sat.).

The next album you'll get will be for January 1, 2022 (Sat.) (sorry, it will have to share Tianyi's deadline) and is called "Mental War Traumas". This album includes the following demos:
- "Becoming Stronger" (KAFU)
- "Sacrilege" (Oniko)
- "What I Have Been Through" (Sayu)
- "SYKELIA" (Stella)
- "Testing Specimens" (Itako)

The songs "Anneliese", "Pick Your Poison", "Alien Among You All", "Pathogenic Substance" and the recently released "Full Sanity Depletion" are for the album "Lurking Presences".

"Mental War Traumas" will feature as such Oniko, KAFU, Sayu, Stella, Itako but also Saki and Yukari who have private tracks. One of the songs will be part of the Corruption series ("N Type" with Itako) and that will be it. 14 tracks in total.

"Lurking Presences" will have 3 songs for the Lovecraftian mythos series (expect Cthulhu, Azathoth and Yog-Sothoth, big classics), one song for the Azur Lane series (that will have its demo public on January 27th!), one song for the Dead by Daylight series (demo will be released on January 24th, so you know it will be Yukari stuff) and two songs for the Corruption series ("Pathogenic Substance" is one of them, the other one is the ONE/IA duet "Aria", that was one of the 2 pushed back songs). The album has a total of 18 tracks. The demos for January 27th will be its last ones to be released.

At licensing level it will become different from now on. Indeed, the song "Full Sanity Depletion" is the last song you'll get with a licensing ticket on an external website. This is how it will happen for the following songs:

- the public song "Love Contention" will have a pdf ticket in its archive with 19.0 license. All other concerned songs by this system are private tracks for "Lurking Presences", but not all of them. So the album will be compatible with the 2 license versions (but will be licensed under 20.0 by itself).

- public songs starting with the deadlines for January 24th will be licensed under 20.0 and will have pdf tickets in their archives.

- the album "Mental War Traumas" will be licensed under 20.0 but compatible with 19.0 and this for all tracks, since they all have been under this version. The content under 20.0 will be the booklet and the album cover. Documentation will use the new format.

- the album "Lurking Presences" will be licensed under 20.0 and compatible with 19.0, but this compatibility will be possible only for the songs that have been finished before December 1st. If you want to know which of them are concerned, look at the IMIC codes, the middle part will reveal the date the song was finished (in Japanese format, so YYMMDD). Documentation will use the new format.

Remember that on January 1, 2022, the 18.0 version of specific copyleft licenses will become unsupported. I'll update the catalog as such. If ever you do a cover or a remix of something that is under 18.0 version of lower, I'll ask you to use 19.0 until December 31, 2021 then 20.0 on January 1, 2022 until a new version of licenses comes out.
Previous licensing tickets will still be accessible (the website doesn't close). Just expect what I was doing for Meiji's songs that had the August 8th deadline to happen on every song from now on.

In a nutshell:

- Next deadline will be "Love Contention" with Tianyi on January 1, 2022. Release of the album "Mental War Traumas" the same day.
- Zunko AI and Itako AI for between January 27, 2022 and February 1, 2022. Physicals expected. Last chance plan will be download ver from DLSite.
- Intended to take Qingsu and MEDIUM5 female cast, but either waiting for overseas selling access either for AI versions. All of these will be download versions. They will be used for only singing Japanese due to cross-lingual synthesis for AI banks.
- "Lurking Presences" to be released on February 19, 2022. Series comebacks (Azur Lane, Dead by Daylight, Corruption series, Lovecraftian mythos).
- Next big purchases will be done on January, including Evolution series banks and Soundiron Omega bundle. Use of new external structure for Kontakt libraries.
- Still waiting for ROSA's crowdfunding for SynthV AI bank. Will be gotten from there normally.

Merry Christmas!
Nynthixia

(Re) hello, Nynthixia here again

Sorry got so busy with material I forgot about the album... But no worries, here it is!

DOWNLOAD ALBUM

Here are the changes and the new ones:

Humanity Belongs to Nature (feat. Tohoku Zunko) [PATCHED] [YANDERE]

Added Tiny Thumb Pianos and Array Mbira to the bridge party. When I did the album version I didn't have Kalimba back then.
Forgot to say it in the certificate, but the koto patterns also have another octave pitch added to their original one.

Yggdrasil (feat. Tohoku Zunko) [NEW!]

Yggdrasil is the tree of life in Nordic mythology. So I did a song about it and how some knowledge was acquired thanks to it. Unlike the other song, I didn't touch the cute/cool setting for Zunko.

Banned Witchcraft (feat. Namine Ritsu) [NEW!] [YANDERE]

What is going on when you play with love? You get someone too obsessed towards you that even your deepest love gets broken.

XELAENO (feat. MAYU) [NEW!] [YANDERE]

Once a beautiful girl soon rejected by her love interest for a more beautiful girl. It makes some jealous women...

Mirror Oh Mirror (feat. Kizuna Akari) [NEW!]

It's a bit inspired by the evil queen in Snow White. Except that the mirror incessantly tells her she is the most beautiful in the world, and that if her jealousy goes on, it will bring her to her own loss...

Intoxicating Perfume (feat. Lily) [NEW!]

Not for all audiences. Typically it's a sadistic woman enjoying to punish all sinners in the most gruesome and cruel way possible.

Worshipping the Darkness (feat. VY1) [NEW!] [OST CANDIDATE]

When a young woman embraces the curse of becoming a vampire...

Black Goat with a Thousand Youths (feat. VY1) [NEW!] [SERIES]

New series: Lovecraftian mythos series! This is themed about Shub-Niggurath, goddess of fertility and of primitive nature. There will be several songs like this, as inedite album tracks in following albums. It was the huge test I did with Ashlight at the time, so you'll be able to taste all its greatness!

JIMENIA -Truth- (feat. CUL) [NEW!] [YANDERE]

The before the last Truth instatements. The behind the scenes about maybe why JIMENIA became so obsessive.

See you in few days...

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Since the huge black Friday reductions are getting over and now all the companies from which I generally buy things did their sales, I can now announce what was added to my material for the month of November. I'll first start with Tsuina.

She arrived at the end of November 25th, bought on DLSite. Since DLSite added the AI release on the Japanese midnight which is currently 4 PM for me, that means I technically bought her on November 25th. I also had a coupon to get her a little cheaper than the usual.

She is now well installed. Tsuina's deadlines will be September 8th and February 3rd. You'll hear her in an album to be released on 2022. So don't expect songs with her until the end of year strict minimum.

OK now the materials... Since there are way too much material compared to usual I'll go per company

Black Octopus

Several sound packs, especially some more vocal atmospheres, presets for Serum and Harmor (Beats from the Ship and Biomorphic)

Cymatics

Lots and lots of sound packs including the limited Mercury. Just bought all the new packs released for $5 just this morning. Got all the remaining Gems packages especially, along with some other ones.

Embertone

Shan Bawu, Canjo (for free), Jubal Flute, Ocarina Amaya

Eplex7

Took a library for dark atmospheres.

Glitchmachines

Bought Fragment... Or actually, got it for free thanks to virtual cash on Plugin Boutique. They reduced so much the price from €25 to €5. So £3.51. I had £3.54 in virtual cash. So got it for free. This is my revenge for not seeing it in sales for so long!

Native Instruments

Completed a bit the instruments with Glaze, Action Strings 2, Picked Nylon, Electric Vintage, along with the missing packs from Massive X. At the end of October I also took the 3 Session Keys libraries.

Soniccouture

Their sales started yesterday, I got for almost half price for the whole selection I took: Glass Works, Bowed Gamelan, Balinese Gamelan II and The Conservatory Collection. Earlier in the month, they did an update on Geosonics I wanted to take, so I took Geosonics II along with its preset packs.

Soundiron

Los Andes Pan Flutes, all the Ancient Greek collection instruments (winds, strings, percussions), all the Sonespheres, Kalimba, Temple Drums, Ambius Prime, Voice of Wind Connie

Strezov Sampling

Jade Ethnic Orchestra. I had initially downloaded their Xiao freebie and the quality was so high... I waited for JEO to lower its price and got it with... ~€168 less than the usual?

So yeah there was A LOT.

But I'm glad and that's all that matters.

I think I finished my big wishlists for now...

See you on December 1st for a song with KAFU... Little hint: "how to destroy someone else's childhood by manipulating them at becoming stronger"

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Since the date is approaching I might tell you now... If you followed the nynthilore posts, you might have noticed Tsuina-chan was part of the possible future voicebanks... She is coming out for November 26th.

I confirm you this will also be the date I'll grab her... In download version

That might seem surprising to say in download version when a package exists but the issue is with SynthV voicebanks that BOTH have a standard and an AI version, the package's price corresponds to the price of a starter pack. So twice the usual price of the voicebank.
In other words, take Tsuina AI in download and pay 9,680 yen (~€75). Take her package version that always has to contain both of her versions, you're at 16,280 yen (~€135) with AHS user discount. That's a lot.
Add to this shipping, VAT and importation taxes. Knowing that for France VAT is 20% of the price.
This buying scheme will also apply to Karin and Chifuyu when they'll get released. Same for Rikka when she'll come at the same time as Karin.
This might not apply for ROSA however (she has no standard voicebank intended).
This also doesn't apply for future CeVIO voicebanks such as Itako or Zunko. (This might for SEKAI though)

Tsuina has high chances to be bought on Vector Shop once she'll be released.

For info, she'll be tagged in artist tag and on the blog as "Kisaragi Tsuina". I think this is doing more serious than just "Tsuina-chan". Yeah, the "Tsuina-chan" is cute, but if I wanted her real name, here it is. NynthiDB should also tag her as "Kisaragi Tsuina" soon.

Her deadlines are September 8th and February 3rd.

This second deadline is as such the first one you'll get. I'm still thinking about the idea to get her a private track in the album I'm producing right now.

Production info

I just have to do the booklet and the certificates left for CD32.5. CD33 will soon be passing the album status even if tracks were finished a while ago. CD33.5 has 3 tracks ready, the public ones deadlined for December 20th and 22nd. I tested IA AI and... Wow, that changes. So hope you'll open her your arms next month!

License info

I'm aware since few months already but the license ticket information will evolve for 2022.

The songs that were produced before December 2021 and that will be published before 2022: they will have license tickets on the external website as the usual. The version of their license will be 19.0.

The songs that were produced before December 2021 and that will be published after 2022: these will have separate documentation in their archives with the license ticket. The format will be evolving. The version of their license will be 19.0.

The songs that were produced on December 2021 and later and that will always be published after 2022: license ticket in the archives as well (separate document). The version of their license will be 20.0 beta if the songs were produced on December, and under 20.0 (full release) if they were produced on 2022.

This doesn't change for album versions (album certificate + private tracks certificates). Just certificates will have the new format. License applied will be the one used at the time of the file creation.
Before December 1, 2021: 19.0
December 1, 2021-December 31, 2021: 20.0 beta
January 1, 2022 and after: 20.0

Be aware starting from December 1, 2021 the license version 18.0 will become unsupported.
If ever you want to cover, remix this song and you want to apply the license, please apply either 19.0 either 20.0 (prefer most recent version ; 20.0 will be appliable by everyone on January 1, 2022). Keep in mind if older license versions support the more recent ones, the reverse way doesn't work... Other reminder: CS licenses are NOT CC ones - some of the license terms are very different!

Will the version number affect the usage? Not for the one I'm using (BY-NC-SA). 20.0 is mainly integrating a new type of license I won't be using under this project, it's its main change, but otherwise most of other licenses remain unchanged.

See you on Thursday for the song with Sayu
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Posted it on Twitter this morning few after I woke up, but I bought this morning IA and ONE AI SONG libraries from Vector Shop (~€76 each). Their license keys arrived near 3 AM and I bought them near 6 AM (I woke up at 5:30 AM).

I learnt about it a bit later, but Zunko and Itako are going to have a CeVIO AI song voice, finally. So for the question "are you going to take them", answer is of course "yes" for both. ESPECIALLY Itako who really needs it...

This is quite funny in the sense one of the private songs for CD33 for Itako, called "N Type", is about Itako explaining her jealousy (and Zunko's) for not having a CeVIO AI voicebank... This will do pretty weird if her song voicebank for CeVIO gets released before the end of the year...

At least you know with the codes the song has been done in October, and before Zunko's birthday...

How will this happen for Zunko and Itako?

Zunko will typically have a treatment similar to IA or Yukari (alternative use with VOCALOID). Itako, meanwhile, will have the same treatment as Kiritan, so a total switch from UTAU to CeVIO.

Be aware if some songs are still using Itako under UTAU, this means the song was produced before the CeVIO bank release. It's exactly what happened with Kiritan: "Humanity's Biggest Fear" was produced a bit before the CeVIO bank release, "Artificial Intelligence" was done after.

Meanwhile, go listen to Zunko's birthday song for this year about a nice yandere mama nature and see you in few days!

Currently working on one of the tracks for CD33. After that I'll have two left to do. I'm still thinking about if I should release it for end 2021 or beginning 2022. So here are the last investments:

- Quadral (Soundiron). A new library that is mainly centered on sequences. With a sort of pad to manipulate. Already used it in some private songs (and even the one I'm working on right now). Paid €26. (price will go $35 soon again, so hurry if you want it)

- Sequis (Native Instruments). The little brother of Arkhis is now live! Mainly focused on layered orchestral sounds. A bit complicated to manipulate, but I still managed to use it. Time will come... Paid €149. (price will go €199 soon, so if you want to grab it, hurry)

- Lyrical Vocal Phrases (Steinberg). Not used yet, but it will come soon. It's a vocal library. I have to admit, when I read there would be voices like in the Hitman soundtracks... My heart quite melted. Paid €80. (price is now higher now)

Other surprise...

I wanted to pre-buy ONE and IA AI SONG on Vector Shop. This thing is done. Normally I'm at 9,700 yen each (should be around €75 with Paypal conversion rate)... And I accidentally made a mistake by buying ONE AI TALK... But, an idea came to my head and the mistake of €72 became an investment of €200... So, I also bought on purpose a license of the talk engine of CeVIO AI and IA AI TALK. You might see soon what I'll do with them.

New tracks

- Just heard this morning a new CeVIO vocal by KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO would be coming soon, near spring 2022... SEKAI! Quite interested by it, so she might be a future addition (note: high chances she will be bought with download version, so either Vector Shop if they decide to release her for a limited time on it, otherwise DLSite for which I already have an account as well)
SEKAI will have a single deadline if she gets released (date of release or character birthday).

- I confirm Karin as a future addition too. Rikka will come at the same time. Logistics reason. Karin will have a double deadline... That is probably the closest interval I have ever seen (September 8th and 9th). Nyui's been beaten!

I think the next future huge buyings will near end November. Waiting for the black Friday/cyber Monday sales.

Also my current job will be ending at the end of the year, meaning I'll switch back the song production schedule to 2/3 per week instead of 1/2 per week (one on the Saturday that is sometimes jumped off, one on the Sunday that is always done).

See you in 3 days with the yandere Zunko song

Hello, Nynthixia here

I initially wanted to make this post yesterday evening but I got some plans that were unveiled to me only yesterday morning so I didn't have the time to write it, neither to prepare the upload for Ritsu. Anyway, his song is up so you can check it up.

Noticed I had forgotten to give some things out. First is the name of the album CD32.5. The final name it got is "Rituals of Insanity". It is between some magical beings and some psychological horror. The last demo you'll get for it is a certain fan song for an English VTuber... And this will be a yandere song. Will you be able to guess which VTuber?

The album will feature the voices of Ritsu, Zunko, Lily, Akari, VY1, Wistaria, Bibi, MAYU and CUL. It contains 16 tracks and so it will be for November 27, 2021 (Sat).

Another CD is currently in production and already the half of it was done. I got some holidays last week and I didn't lose a minute to start working on it. All its public demos are already done. I even did some private tracks! It should be a 14 tracks album. The name is not definitive though so I'll wait a bit more before giving it out. But clearly, its ambience is very dark... Or even brings back some trauma at the surface. It will feature Oniko, Itako, KAFU, Yukari, Stella, Saki and Sayu. It contains all deadlined songs for the period November 1st-December 11th. You even saw on Twitter a screenshot for the song that is going to be released on December 1st, which is KAFU's second deadline.

A last buying I did in September, and that is very huge (€499) is a huge bundle of 26 instruments by Soniccouture, sold by Native. And guess what? Remember when I said I wanted the Nyckelharpas? Welp, they are in there. I also got some instruments that were in the second tier of my wishing list (Sheng Khaen Sho, Tingklik, Threnody Strings, Haunted Spaces especially). Bought as well (~€16) at Soundiron's store the Tiny Thumb Pianos. These were used a lot in CD33 tracks. It's a good start to kalimba initiation.

I'm waiting for the other instruments to have their price drop. Soundiron's Kalimba, Soniccouture's Bowed Gamelan, Balinese Gamelan II and Glass Works are still awaiting high in the wishlist.

VOICEBANKS

- I'm aware there will be a package for IA and ONE. There are just some issues:
1) precommand is not possible for overseas on Amazon, meaning I'd have to pass by Tenso.
2) with the current TVA added from July 1st, they would be way more expensive to import than the ones I got earlier in the year
3) I already announced in #nynthilore they would be coming on October 27th... So can't really change it.
They will be bought on either DLSite (I have an account there) either on Vector Shop (like KAFU).

- Natsuki Karin is a possible addition. Her voice is more interesting to me. However, I was thinking of obtaining the trio if I got one of the girls. So Rikka would still be coming soon. I just hope I'll make her quite different from the other girls. Normally it should be packages (yes, I know, with the taxes... But I have less constraints with them than with IA AI and ONE AI...).

- Some other tracks will be given by #nynthilore posts, near the end of the month. So I won't reveal them now. Karin wasn't written in these so that's why I gave her out here.

So... That's it. See you on the 27th for Zunko's song!

Hello, Nynthixia here

We're arriving near the end of the month so I'm doing a little point since I really rushed the albums... That you can download here for Azur Abyss part and here for Crimson Ashes part.

We'll start with a very important info, it concerns IA and ONE. Few days ago, I learnt their AI SONG VBs, the ones I was waiting for, would be released for October 27th. Yup, on Zunko's birthday. It is more than probable I'll get them the same way as KAFU, which means buying on PC Vector Shop's website. And this time I learnt the lesson, to use Paypal and not my credit card directly!

ONE will only be featured in private songs few after the buying, but IA will get a public demo with her AI VB for December 20, 2021. ONE and IA will be both featured in a same song on January 27, 2021.

For October, I hesitated to do it last year but I'll try to do it this year so... Like an Advent Calendar, but for October and for its whole month, everyday from October 1st to the 31st you'll get an automatized tweet that will bring you to a text file with the hashtag #nynthilore. This hashtag will reveal you some parts of the lore of "Corruption Syndrome" series, including its environment, how the characters are thought in this and more info about the curse that happens there. If you'll get some reminders about what there are in the songs, you'll especially get info about what happened before the first song of the series got released... So before Akari's arrival.

It will be my birthday present from me to you, so enjoy it well.

September buyings... This time there wasn't much things, it's especially a huge bundle of Kontakt voice libraries by Soundiron. This is called the voice bundle 2, that was on sale on Native's website for a while. It mainly contains Olympus Choir Elements, Mimi Page Light and Shadow, Voices of Gaia (that I wanted since a while!), Voices of Rapture and the three first Voices of Wind (seems Connie's package was too recent to enter the bundle, too bad...). For now, only Voices of Gaia and Voices of Wind have been used, and only in private songs. Whole price of the thing... €239 at the time. Quite cheap when you look at each individual package's price.

Some libraries I'd like to buy but I'm waiting for their prices to lower a bit:

- Kalimba library by Soundiron. It's the cheapest of them all but I'm sure price can go even lower. I noticed I didn't have a proper library for it, not even in the Kontakt Factory Library...
- Nyckelharpas by Sonic Couture. It's a nordic instrument that looks like a violin with a keyboard. Just a little pearl! But its price is a bit too high now so I think maybe in November its price is going to be lowered.
- Glass Works also by Sonic Couture. Same issue as the Nyckelharpas, price is a bit too high for now. It mainly features a glass harmonica, but also some instruments that were built around glass. Very interesting to listen to!
- Balinese Gamelan II also by Sonic Couture. Just typical upgrade of the one I have which is version 1.5.
- Bowed Gamelan by Sonic Couture (yes, them again!!!). Gives quite interesting sounds as well, and since my gamelans are only percussive...

Info on the CD in production... I have 4 tracks left to do, including a -Truth- track. Just saying, after this one there will be another -Truth- track (with Ritsu? IA? Don't know yet...) and... That will be it.

CD32.5 is for now set to release on November 27, 2021. I'll have a holidays week from October 4th to the 8th, so I was thinking of using the maximum of this week to create some songs! So I'll probably finish CD32.5 there and start the production of CD33 there too. CD32.5 will normally feature VY1, Lily, Akari, Ritsu, Zunko, Bibi, Wistaria and MAYU. The ones having deadlines from November will be featured in CD33 instead (that includes Oniko, Sayu or Itako).

Enjoy well!

DOWNLOAD "FROM AZUR ABYSS" ALBUM HERE | DOWNLOAD "TO CRIMSON ASHES" ALBUM HERE

Hello, Nynthixia here

Here they are the double albums! So little tip, listen to Abyss then Ashes if you want to follow the continuous "descend into hell", Ashes then Abyss if you want to follow the producer time pattern.

CD31.5 / To Crimson Ashes (produced during March/June 2021)
REMEMBER - THIS ALBUM CONTAINS QUITE SENSIBLE CONTENT...

- Huge patch on "Chained to the Death". Bibi's pitch curve was weird and Wistaria had false notes, this is now all fixed. I got issues apparently with the license codes of the album version, since the album version was actually entered in the database just after a day of closure of the licensing service, so an accumulation of work and... It seems its LIN is different, but the IMIC has a patch_0001 attached to it. Anyway, I recommend you to listen to the album version instead, that's right I marked it as "patch", but still...

- "Dogma of Fear"
About a population believing into false gods, and only one girl discovered everyone has been fooled.

- "Apoptosis"
A sad story about a girl who committed suicide due to a love tragedy.

- "Matriarch"
Someone imploring a supreme queen to say her children, humans, to stop wars and causing despair all around the world. Not sure if she'll answer though...

- "Jocelyn"
[YANGIRE] Someone who is just a sadistic girl and manipulates the ones who fall in love with her so she can better hurt and kill them.

- "Attics"
This one is inspired from a French alternate reality game called "The Attic", despicting a red room in an attic where people, generally wanting to die by themselves, come to this room, breath a sort of weird gaz and the whole is broadcasted on the ARG's website.

- "Astrid"
[YANDERE] Just your casual yandere of the day...

CD32 / From Azur Abyss (produced during June/August 2021)
WARNING : SOME SONGS MAY BE DISTURBING...  BUT LESS THAN IN THE OTHER ALBUM

- "Even if my Tears"
Someone who wants to be with the one who helped her, searches for her in the oceans but finishes drowning...

- "Cancer of the Cancel"
About cancer culture... And how about ironic the fight against it by cancelling the ones cancelling other people is. Who said the cancellers deserved to die already? (Seriously, stop this culture, this makes you less humans)

- "Thelxiepeia"
[YANDERE] The charming siren. A bit too possessive too...

- "Molpe"
A woman with a strange voice... Just a trap to make fall the people into the depths of the abyss.

- "Agalopheme"
A siren keeping her reputation... And her secret well hidden. But something tells me she also has other intentions...

- "Peisinoe"
[YANDERE] The persuasive siren. She'll persuade you to come with her into the abyss. Just to drown you.

- "Parthenope"
The siren with a young woman's face. A very sad love tragedy.

- "Ligeia"
The siren with a piercing scream. Beautiful story of a shattered love hope.

- "Leukosia"
The siren with white skin, as snow. She'll get you out of the wars and out of the human destruction. Even though her intentions are not well readable, she is quite disturbed and strongly believes humans can breath in the abyss. Spoiler: they can't.

- "Azur to Crimson"
[YANDERE/YANGIRE] [CORRUPTION SYNDROME SERIES] About how KAFU arrived, witnessed the stories from IA and CUL, but as well... Something's very wrong with Kiritan and her sisters... And now KAFU is next.

Enjoy well!

PS: MAYU song tomorrow. Prepare for more lesbian yandere guys...
