Hello it's Nynthixia.

First the changelog of the album.

Aisha (feat. Xin Hua)
[INSTRUMENT] Added flute during world part (FM8)
[INSTRUMENT] Added flash SFX just before final part
[MIXDOWN] Power capellas now treated by Vocal Doubler

No Issue (feat. Xin Hua)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX at beginning with impact

When T-Force has an issue with latency at beginning of tracks...

BERNEZIA (feat. kokone)
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX during first chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Added impact at end of first chorus and during bridge
[INSTRUMENT] Added gongs at end

Filled it a bit. 

Hemera (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[CAPELLA] Final part sung in different style
[INSTRUMENT] Added impact at beginning of second verse
[MIXDOWN] Applied fade out on sidechained pad at outtro
[STRUCTURE] The first chorus is the one being sung twice instead of last one
[REMOVAL] Removed impact and reduced silence before last chorus

Athalia (feat. Hoshine Stella)
[INSTRUMENT] Sequence pad is now playing since first pitch change towards the end
[PATCH] Corrected false note in first verse

Finally patched the missing false note!

Debora (feat. IA ROCKS)
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX and SFX in intro and bridge
[MIXDOWN] Added capella with special effect for choruses and bridge

Made a creepier atmosphere. This background singing is just excellent!

OK. For "Psycho Ending", the original link is no more available. Re-download it here. The cover had a mistake and the booklet contained mistakes. Now the whole album is patched.

I aired the cover of "LILACIA" with Lily yesterday in the night, at 1:21 AM... You can listen to it here (warning: explicit). Note: I only have 20min left on Soundcloud. When I won't get enough time anymore, all uploads that should have been on Soundcloud will be uploaded to MQube instead.

Other new. You were probably waiting for an original with Lily for the 22nd. Problems were that I don't have lots of time right now, and I just had the time to finish a cover I promised a while ago. So it counts as the "deadlined work". But it doesn't count as the 2nd song of the week, so this weekend, you'll get something.

I didn't work on the tracklist for March album... Because there won't be any. Then, "why?". Two reasons:
1) pretty stressed right now and I feel like more work in an intense way is just going to "kill me" psychologically
2) you'll get "Imitation" on March 24th instead, with 8 inedite tracks. So you still have your monthly album! It's just that... It's a special one.

So the next album will be on April 27th. There is no title, no tracklist, nothing. Lily and Nyui will be part of the tracklist for sure. In compensation, this album will have more than 12 tracks. Probably 15 or 16. That permits me to work under slow pace, so "avoiding burnout". I don't really want to scare you on that part, but the stress and all began to have effects on me. I REALLY need to strike this.
Hopefully March and April are very poor in deadlines. Less stress already.

So in a nutshell:
- "Psycho Ending" album completely patched and reuploaded with no mistakes on metadata, cover art and booklet
- no album for March; you'll get "Imitation" instead
- next album will be for April 27th, with at least Nyui and Lily in the tracklist. Maybe Xin Hua too since she is very late compared to others.

Have fun and rest well

DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM

Hello, Nynthixia there!

Here is the first album of the year! With Xin Hua in it... To the point she got 5 songs for her alone.
Time for the changelog!

Adele (feat. Xin Hua)
[INSTRUMENT] Changed lead preset (FM8)

To be honest I didn't like at final the lead instrument so I just changed it.

RAENIA (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[INSTRUMENT] Added bells during verses and bridges

Crawling Under My Skin (feat. Momone Momo)
[PATCH] Corrected holes in lead pattern for verses

Quite minor when we hear Momo at the same time, but apparently I had missed some notes in the lead instrument...

Annachiara (feat. Momone Momo)
[EXTENSION] Added bridge part after second chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Removed beats before second chorus

The second chorus was originally misplaced, so I modified near this place to better distinguish it.

Magnilda (feat. Momone Momo)
[EXTENSION] Extended end

Cosmic Shock (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[INSTRUMENT] Revamped intro structure

Nothing Off Limits (feat. Xin Hua)
[INSTRUMENT] Removed VFX by impact SFX during first chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Added hard uplifter at end of first chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Added cyber impact at beginning of last chorus
[MIXDOWN] Altered tempo of uplifter

The uplifter had a tempo issue for sure. The rest, when Xin Hua Natural was singing at the middle of first chorus, there was a sort of noise which was a VFX. So now it will sound less weird. And the impact at the very beginning... It's because the uplifter doesn't begin at the just beginning.

Now it is time...

To reveal...

18. End of Imitation World (feat. kokone)

This album will be aired on March 24th. Why on a Sunday? Well I wanted to air it for March 26th, but it's a Tuesday, so I moved it to the closest weekend, but there was already the album placeholder release date (March 23th) taken, so I moved it to the Sunday.
A good way to celebrate the 4th producer anniversary!

And who says 4... Says death.

For this album, the booklet will be a bit... Different. Instead of just having the lyrics and credits and hop, over, you'll get a bit more explanations on each song.

And that's all! Enjoy!

DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM

Warning: album not recommended for people below 16.

Hello, Nynthixia here

Here is the last album for 2018. Yeah, finishing on an explicit album... So here is the changelog

Zoe (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[INSTRUMENT] Changed instrument for second lead (M1)
[INSTRUMENT] Added new chords pattern (FM8)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX at second half of outtro

I found the second lead in the demo a bit weird compared to the capella so I modified it. I still used the FM8 preset of the former lead for chords instead.

MALIZIA (feat. CUL)
[INSTRUMENT] Added uplifter and impact during intro
[MIXDOWN] Applied doubler effect for chorus (iZotope Vocal Doubler)

CUL wasn't really good in separated notes, even with dynamics at max level. With the doubler, she is a bit easier to understand.

Immortalized (feat. Hinomoto Oniko)
[PATCH] Corrected 2 false notes in second verse

Didn't modify the instru for this one, I especially wanted to correct the false notes where Oniko sounded weird. Other than this, the song was already pretty good for me.

Slave of a Twisted Mind (feat. Hoshine Stella)
[CAPELLA] Rendering with Hoshine Stella 2018 VCV
[INSTRUMENT] Pad now plays during first verse

Finally rendered with the 2018 VCV for the whole song! 

Get Me Out From Hell (feat. Hoshine Stella)
[CAPELLA] Rendering with Hoshine Stella 2018 VCV

On the demo, it was most of the time the Act2 and the 2018 VCV was only for the backing vocals... Now 2018 VCV for everything!

Grave (feat. IA -ROCKS-)
[EXTENSION] Added bridge before second verse

It was too short. 

Vantrisia (feat. IA -ROCKS-)
[EXTENSION] Extended intro

LILACIA (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX to fill up empty part

Made the outtro sound less weird.

Solena (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[EXTENSION] Revamped intro

To be honest, the intro of the demo was pretty... "Meh"? Now we have a recall of the outtro.

See you soon for Annachiara with Momo. For all other infos such as the tracklist, the schedule, Xin Hua Japanese's announcement, it's here!

Let's keep the end of the year beautiful, and let's make 2019 beautiful

Def not full of hope

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there, and merry Christmas everyone!

So, I guess I can finally reveal who was the new singer... Yeah, there were few clues few months before, it's Xin Hua. Japanese voicebank of course since I don't know Chinese at all... Might be very interesting to use her.

And the schedule for this week and the next one? Well I can finally reveal it! You might have guessed for yesterday, it was the only track that wasn't for Oniko, being in the December album remaining, "Zoe" for Akari. "Immortalized" is in WIP status right now.

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here.

It's been a while... But, you're waiting for the tracklist for this month, I revealed some track names... I aired two songs with Stella, one with Akari, one with IA and one with CUL. I still have 4 deadlines to apply next week. This is going to be harsh.

The next song you will have will be normally on Saturday. After this I'll try to do the song for IA (Dec 20th deadline) then the 3 songs for the 22nd (one for Yukari, one for CUL, one for Akari).

So... What do I have to say?

The tracklist first. This is what you all have been waiting for

CD23.5 - Walking Towards the Dead Door - airdate: December 29th 2018

01. Walking Towards a Dead Door (feat. Kizuna Akari)
02. Zoe (feat. Kizuna Akari)
03. STRYCHNIUM (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
04. MALIZIA (feat. CUL)
05. Immortalized (feat. Hinomoto Oniko)
06. Slave of a Twisted Mind (feat. Hoshine Stella)
07. Get Me Out From Hell (feat. Hoshine Stella)
08. Grave (feat. IA -ROCKS-)
09. Vantrisia (feat. IA -ROCKS-)
10. Shirleen (feat. CUL)
11. LILACIA (feat. Lily Kizuna Akari)
12. Solena (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)

Deadlined songs:
- Vantrisia is deadlined for the 20th
- Get Me Out From Hell was for the 11th (today)
- Shirleen, LILACIA and Solena are all for the 22nd (there are chances the songs get at least M14 rating, or even Explicit rating... It will depend on how much I'll be able to censor)

Second thing is the Imitation project. The songs are all done. I just have to do the rest.
I'll have to choose an air date, probably January 2019. Yeah, all the songs have been produced on 2018 but the album on 2019... Typically I have a lot of problems with organization lately and for this one, I don't want to do like I do with the monthly albums. This one is a work of several months in a row. There is a whole universe, and I want to do it good. No worries the tracklist and the crossfade will be revealed soon. Keep an eye on the YouTube channel on next weeks.

Third thing. Since... 7 or 8 days, I think? There is a "blank link" in the regular singers list just below Zunko's link. And when you go on the page there is no big clue. What I'm going to do is that I'm not going to tell who the new singer will be, but I'll reveal the "why I don't confirm her yet unlike I did for all the others".

I actually had plans for her since few months ago, a bit at the same moment as the ones for Akari came. There was the solution to get her from her company's website, problem is... I'm going to tell you something and you'll guess what's wrong with it:

They accept to ship overseas but they don't accept credit cards made outside of Japan.

Plan A was a bit done, so I went for plan B: request for the ASIN* to a French reseller. They don't have the ASIN in their catalog. Plan B over. Plan C. Last chance, the Japanese reseller (so yeah it's on the Japanese Amazon, and there are some of the packages I got thanks to them). They accept to sell a package BUT... Not "new". Just "used (like new)". Status is acceptable (and I had no other chance sooooo) but I have to check the license when I'll get her so you won't have the confirmation before the 25th... Date where I'll get her in my own little hands. Right now she is gently waiting at home to come under the Christmas tree, she arrived at noon here, now she has to wait...

To help you, no it's not Haruno Sora. Firstly because AHS has no issues with foreign credit cards, and secondly because I don't have the V5 engine. I'm still with the V4. I wait for more stability before getting V5. OK it became a bit better but still... Maybe you have guessed something, who knows?

And that's it for now I guess? Quite slowed down because of constant fatigue and health issues, so sorry... This should get better soon I promise.

Take care of yourselves

Nynthixia

* identifiant of any product for Amazon. With this any reseller can know what you're talking about. And they're common to all Amazon countries services.

EDIT December 13th: Sorry forgot to change, LILACIA in the album is by Akari and not by Lily. However I might do a ver with Lily, who knows?

Hello, Nynthixia there

This time, I'm not late, it was very tight, but I did it! 45th album! The fourth purgatory...

Where the hell doesn't forgive your crimes in the afterlife

This time I had to include the certificate in the zip file... Because the drive denies reading the file. Remember on old computers when you didn't have the Eastern Asiatic languages module installed, you saw these squares instead of some characters? Well, imagine the same thing on all the normal text.

Changelog for the tracks, knowing that:
- "IANTHA" and "HEGEMONIA" are identical to their demos
- "Purgatory", "Caliadne", "Mnemosyne" and "Degeneration" are almost identical, they just have been remastered on their capella because... Neutron Elements! (Will explain later) As for the other tracks... (Yes they also have been remastered with this plugin as well)

Trianon (feat. Tohoku Zunko)
[EXTENSION] Extended intro
[INSTRUMENT] Sidechain pad now plays during first verse
[INSTRUMENT] Distorted VFX, Sidechain pad and long synth now play during intro

Sabbath (feat. Hinomoto Oniko)
[INSTRUMENT] Pad now begins to play at same time as harp plucks
[INSTRUMENT] Uplifter SFX and dry guitar plucks now play during first bridge
[MIXDOWN] Fixed loud capella volume

CELAIA (feat. Yurika Sayu)
[INSTRUMENT] Added crash roll
[INSTRUMENT] Added flute during bridge part (FM8)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX at end of second chorus
[PATCH] Corrected alignment of second verse parts

CALLIOPEIA (feat. Tohoku Itako)
[INSTRUMENT] Added Slayer parts
[INSTRUMENT] Added stab impacts at some supplementary parts

I Don't Want To Know (feat. Tohoku Itako)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX during first bridge

You know what day was yesterday... The Black Friday. And who says Black Friday says "the companies are selling their plugins for really, really insane prices".

So got some other samples and two plugins on Monday.
The first plugin is the one you can clearly hear in the whole "HEGEMONIA" track, called Loom, an additive synthesis plugin! I'd say the sounds are quite interesting.
The second plugin is Neutron Elements (that I got for free so now you know how I got it!) which is now used for remastering. Quite important and has a power quite similar to the legacy Nectar Elements plugin I have (you know, the one given for free with Vegas Pro 13).

Other than this, the tracklist for December... Is not done yet. Actually, I just have the names for three tracks and that's it.

The next deadlines will be on the following days:

- December 11th: Stella
- December 20th: IA
- December 22nd: Akari, Yukari, CUL (yeah that much!)
- December 25th: Oniko (again hooray)

If the track with Oniko will be done during a fast pace week, it will be very difficult for the week of the 20th and the 22nd since I'd need to do... 4 songs. For a week under slow pace. This may be the exception, 4 songs a week for December 17th/23rd. That means I'll probably do air only 2 tracks on the week before (including Stella's song) and I'll work on IA's track at the end of this concerned week so it can be ready for the 20th.

"And why don't you do a trio song with CUL, Akari and Yukari?"

These are the tracks for which I actually have the names, and when you'll get their stories, you'll better understand why. These will be sister songs all of the three, three different stories in the same universe, so I need to keep them separated.

"Air date of the next album?"

December 29th (Saturday). With the worst schedule possible this can be done on time. And I won't do the same thing I did last year (two albums done on December). So the majority of the tracks which will be done on end of December will be for January album, which will be done, and some of them for the February one. This is the only solution to get rid of some of my fatigue.

No I didn't recover from it.

As for next softwares, it's a huge hesitation between VOCALOID5 upgrade, which stabilized a bit and... Something else. Rare are the people who actually know what is the second thing. I really really hesitate, it's harsh...

But I keep my eyes onto it.

Welp, enjoy the album, sorry I can't find how to fix the issue with Oniko having pronounciation issues (I know where this is coming from though!) except for "HEGEMONIA" where she sang very well. Thanks for your support!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

"Chimerical" just aired few minutes ago. And that means I have 2 tracks of "Lethargic Chimeras" left to do: "Repent Myself" (Lily) and "Laurenzia" (Yukari). These tracks will be aired the 2 following days. On Wednesday -> album.

I began making the tracklist for November, there 3 tracks for Zunko, Oniko, Sayu and Itako. The first track of the tracklist was the one being aired on yesterday, "Trianon". It was for Zunko's birthday.

Then we have other deadlines for the others: Sayu has one on the 11th, Itako has one on the 14th and Oniko one on Thursday. Yup, this Thursday.

Here is the schedule I'm going to apply for the upcoming week:

Here is the full tracklist for November:

CD23 - "Fourth Purgatory" - November 24th

01. Trianon (feat. Tohoku Zunko) - deadline: October 27th
02. Purgatory (feat. Tohoku Zunko) - to be aired on: November 2nd
03. Caliadne (feat. Tohoku Zunko)
04. HEGEMONIA (feat. Hinomoto Oniko)
05. Sabbath (feat. Hinomoto Oniko) - to be aired on: October 31st
06. Mnemosyne (feat. Hinomoto Oniko) - deadline: November 1st
07. And I Disobeyed You (feat. Yurika Sayu) - to be aired on: November 3rd
08. IANTHIA (feat. Yurika Sayu)
09. CELAIA (feat. Yurika Sayu) - deadline: November 11th
10. Degeneration (feat. Tohoku Itako) - deadline: November 14th
11. CALLIOPEIA (feat. Tohoku Itako) - to be aired on: November 4th
12. I Don't Want To Know (feat. Tohoku Itako)

There will be 2 weeks where 3 songs will be aired once back to the slow mode. The first week will be the one from November 5th to November 11th. You'll get the deadlined song for Sayu but also 2 other songs. I mainly target the Friday for working. The second one will be from November 12th to November 18th: one deadlined song with Itako, and 2 others.

Let's just hope my health will go a bit better in the meanwhile... If ever it doesn't, there might be chances to move the album air date to November 30th, which would be a Friday... Not that great to be honest.

Otherwise I don't have current cover plans right now. I keep in mind there will be "Monochrome" really soon... But it won't be before a long, long moment.

The "Imitation" project: to be honest I couldn't work a lot on it because of "you know what"... But now there is just one thing left to do in terms of music. All the rest will be the booklet etc. I really hope to get this finished for the year's end.

Also please do not forget France has changed its time compared to Japan. For midnight in Japan it will be 4 PM in France ; for midnight in France it will be 8 AM in Japan. Should be the last time, normally!

Enjoy!
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here.

So I just published the cover of "MYS" only tonight. This is a cover that I have done back in June and that I wanted to publish in September. But as you may know, I got a bad organization and the publication has been delayed. So here it is. Late, but here it is.

I'll also have to rearrange my schedules a bit for the upcoming weeks. Next week I'll still be on the same schedule (2 or 3 songs/week) before going into a week of "1 song/day". This will help me catch up some late.

Also for this reason, I'll be obliged to delay the album air date from October 27th to October 31st (Wed). For the moment I still have 5 tracks of "Lethargic Chimeras" to make and that will require me more than until the 27th. If we count the fact that a song with Zunko has to be aired on the 27th, and that I almost reached (or I already reached, more like that, since I'm beginning to have health issues) the burnout state.

(See now what I always say "never do like me"?)

So this is what will be done:

- I have at least 1 song to make this week, which will be chosen randomly between "Lethargic"/"Repent Myself"/"Chimerical"/"Laurenzia"/"KARNELA". I maybe will make a second one this weekend.
- Next week, there will be a song with Zunko for the 27th which is in the November tracklist, that I haven't done yet... Completely. I just have the plan of the singers ready. Another track (maybe 2) from "Lethargic Chimeras" will be done next week.
- The week after (the holidays week), at least one song of "Lethargic Chimeras" will be done (in priority). The album will be prepared the day after, along with the production of a new song. I'll try to advance as much as possible. All the rest of the week you'll get tracks of the November album.

Another good news, happier this time, is for users of Sharpkey, CeVIO, Synth V... You are now able to use all of my songs officially, even if it is written in the tickets or the certificates that only UTAU and VOCALOID users can. There is no problem now. Enjoy covering! (^_^)

And no worries for me, I'll get better soon.

DOWNLOAD ALBUM (13 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia here.

First, sorry for the lack of posting recently. Lots of work to do, and the fatigue really doesn't help either.

To be honest... This album, I finished it few hours ago. I never have been so badly organized... >< But here it is, on time. Phew.

Changelog incoming... Lots of minor changes mainly. To begin with, I remastered with Ozone 8 Elements all tracks that had been done before I acquired the plugin. All of them except for songs with MAYU and "Empress of Heart".

Bleeding Laments (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[EXTENSION] Added reverse SFX at intro
[INSTRUMENT] Added filtered FX (+200 pitch, global) and SFX kick before first chorus
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment

Same problem as "Judith", the intro was abrupt.

Flavia (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[INSTRUMENT] Added bridge lead
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX and modified organization before last chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Modified arp pattern for bridge
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment
[MIXDOWN] Modified intro organization

Lots of modifications on it. I tried to postpone a bit the last chorus but didn't work so I left it as it was.

MORPHINIUM (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment
Same instru

One of the tracks with the most minor changes. Well, when the song had to be done with Morphine in its integrity (at least for synths)...

Xylia (feat. Anna Nyui -raw-)
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment
[PATCH] Fixed capella pitch of some final notes
Same instru

And yeah... There was a mistake on notes. The song was really good but contained a mistake. Update to this version quickly...

Insomniac (feat. Anna Nyui -vivid-)
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment
Same instru

Didn't change anything else, the song was already great.

Veronica (feat. Anna Nyui -raw-)
[EXTENSION] Extended and modified outtro
[INSTRUMENT] Removed some beats at beginning of last chorus
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment

I extended it a bit, not too long unlike the two others.

Kalonice (feat. kokone)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX before first verse and during second verse
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment

I was wondering where the slight sung voices were coming from and it was from one of the SFX samples... So I added more... Just because it's so great.

JILLENE (feat. kokone)
[MIXDOWN] Applied Ozone Elements treatment
Same instru

Didn't know what to modify on this one, so I just remastered it, since I did it just before acquiring Ozone...

Paranoid (feat. MAYU)
[EXTENSION] Extended outtro
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX uplifter before end

More piano parts at the end!

Tiffany (feat. MAYU)
[INSTRUMENT] Changed preset for verses lead (T-Force Alpha Plus)

The pluck sounded slightly detuned while the other hard lead was sounding right with the capella.

Rancor (feat. IA ROCKS)
[INSTRUMENT] Added atmosphere sample until silent bridge part
[INSTRUMENT] Added glass break SFX at beginning of second verse
[INSTRUMENT] Added long wub during first verse
[INSTRUMENT] Added short wub during second verse
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX kick at beginning of outtro
[INSTRUMENT] Added vocal synth during second chorus

These are lots of little changes, the difficulty was to keep the verses different enough from each other. I really wanted a ghostly atmosphere, different than in "Unseen".

OK and the other news, hope this will forgive me from the lack of posting...

1) The tracklist for October!

With Ritsu at least. Zunko will be for the next one. And... Guess what? The album will also be aired for her birthday. I'll have to really, really well organize her birthday, since my next holidays happen on October 29th!

CD22.5 - "Lethargic Chimeras" - 27th October 2018

01. Azucena (feat. Lily)
02. Lethargic (feat. Lily)
03. Repent Myself (feat. Lily)
04. Hail (feat. Namine Ritsu)
05. Kana (feat. Namine Ritsu)
06. Chimerical (feat. Namine Ritsu)
07. Laurenzia (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
08. Equilibrium (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
09. KARNELA (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
10. Jasmine (feat. Namine Ritsu) - deadline: October 12th
11. XENYA (feat. Lily)
12. Aiyana (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)

As for November's tracklist, I don't have the track names, but I have the singers. You'll have Zunko, Itako, Oniko and Sayu who each have a deadline for the period (Zunko: Oct 27th; Itako: Nov 14th; Oniko: Nov 1st; Sayu: Nov 11th). And their album will be done faster than the October one, since I'll have a week at the end of October (the Halloween one <3) for doing 7 tracks in a row. Because I'm crazy. ^^
Seriously don't do like me. For your sake!!!!

2) The recent unlocks...

Happened during two days, September 13th and 14th. On the 13th, I got Ozone 8 Elements. If you get some info about the recent promotions, you'll know how I acquired it... For free. Just by also acquiring a pack of presets for Vacuum (and gosh, its sounds are soooo good).
On the 14th, I decided to also get Quadrant. To be honest, I first thought this was a synth. Aaaand... Yes and no. FL Studio recognizes it as a preset, but the thing comes with a lot of samples to modify and alterate with the plugin. But depending of the preset you set, Quadrant can act as an effect (distortion, delay...) or as a generator, creating a constant noise (yes, even when FL is not playing!), acting as a synth. For reduced price. A bit more than 4€.
Yes the things from Glitchmachines are great. Very unusually for typical electro music like trance or dance... But it adds a little special touch. ^^

3) The plans

For the moment there is nothing special. Just still waiting for an upgrade of the singers I already have. I saw the VOCALOID5 engine stabilized itself a bit but I'll wait more because here... Using it now is not a necessity. It also has several backlashes that I already explained.

4) "Imitation"

Still in progress. No worries, it's just slowed down.

5) And do you play CHARON games?

I played "Vanilla's Referee Garden" three weeks ago (yes I bought it). It's... Very, very special. Typically, if I had to do songs on the game's theme (probably 3), the first story would be extremly censored, the second one is a bit unclear, and I didn't understand at all the third one. Yeah... Not before a while for the songs I guess.
The second "Kimi to Boku" game won't have any song about it (like the first one didn't get one because... Um, well play it and you'll see why). Because I don't know what to do with a R18 game. Seriously. I'm very limited in the ratings. I can't do P-rated songs (pornographic, which are actually forbidden by several terms of use) and if I do E-rated (explicit) songs, I have to apply a lot of restrictions, including platform ones. So when a song gets such a rating... How to say I generally try to avoid the situation.
(If you ask me if I got the game... The answer is "no". Same for "Paranoia", but not because of the rating)
I'm aware about "Mihomi's Dream" as well. For this one... I guess it will also be a paid game but no problem, but it won't be available before October 10th. I keep my eyes on it. Yup, the game interests me.
Same for the new game currently having a casting. Or... "Tsukimi's Return" (I'm not kidding)

5) The covers/remixes

Little reorganization on the covers. I have the one for "MYS" to post, using Yukari Lin. Will come before October 1st for sure. But after I'll change the pace and reduce it to "twice the year minimum", on 2 specific dates:
- January 21st
- June 9th
(And you know why these ones)

If there are any other covers, they will be posted randomly depending of the material available to me. But always on MQube. I'll always keep this rule.

So no worries, the remixes and covers on sele's songs are not over... Just slowed down.

And that's all for the moment. Enjoy!

"I'll annihilate all your hopes... Only a world of insanity, ashes and blood will remain."

Hello, it's Nynthixia here and the "Annihilation" is here! And if you haven't seen the crossfade...

DOWNLOAD ALBUM (12 TRACKS INCLUDING 3 INEDITE!)

Note: this album may not be suitable for people under 16 (not 14).

Wow... So here we are. 42nd album. I'm really glad to air this on Lily's birthday. This made a quick decision on which tracks to do in private mode only for this album. Welp, for Lily's birthday, it's not a song, but three, yes, three new songs just for her.

I'm sorry I haven't prepared an instrumental pack for these 3 tracks, this will be under request. If ever you need them, contact me or by the blog's page or on Twitter, which are the fastest ways.

Since I haven't a lot of things to say now, because all the infos are in this blog post... Changelog time. Only "MANCENILLIUM" and "SINCUBUS" remain the same (and it's because of the latter one the album has the explicit rating, sorry).

ILLANTHA (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[INSTRUMENT] Altered intro
[INSTRUMENT] Modified kick pattern in second verse
[PATCH] Fixed false note in third lead pattern

The false note thing could be really minor. I first fixed it in the capella of the demo, but there was still a weird impression at this moment of the song because of the lead. This shouldn't be the case anymore.

Oceana (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[CAPELLA] Slight enhancement of volume for both tracks
[INSTRUMENT] Added chord lead for verses (FM8)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX between bridge and last choruses

The SFX is almost impossible to hear sadly, compression. I just enhanced the volume of the capellas that was a bit too low in specific conditions.

Isolation (feat. CUL)
[INSTRUMENT] Added atmo sample for third verse
[INSTRUMENT] Modified kicks beginning for 2nd and 3rd verse
[INSTRUMENT] Modified OHH pattern
[INSTRUMENT] Removed impacts during non-vocal bridge
[PATCH] Impact before last chorus now hits at the beginning of synth patterns

The last one to be done, the one with the most changes... And there was a problem of measures.

Faith (feat. CUL)
[CAPELLA] Lowered volume of tri-harmonic capellas / chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Replaced some uplifters
[INSTRUMENT] Removed some uplifters
[MIXDOWN] Modified Phasis preset and reverb type for chorus capellas

In specific conditions the phased part sounded a bit saturated. Now it more sounds filtered. Also the main uplifter in the demo was weird to hear everytime.

Judith (feat. CUL)
[INSTRUMENT] Ending sweeps have now an uplifter
[PATCH] Intro is less abrupt

The intro was the main problem of the demo and it was due to the beginning impact. Now it is smoother.

Harajuku Freak (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-, -Hunter-)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX at beginning of first verse and last chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Added supersaws pattern in second part of last bridge
[INSTRUMENT] Changed beats components
[SINGER] Added singer append (-Hunter-)

Lilith VB only was a bit smothered compared to the music sometimes. Now we have a really strong voice and the ending part does not saturate. The beats were also a bit weird, now they are more discret.

Carinthia (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-)
[CAPELLA] Lowered volume of capellas
[EXTENSION] Extended outtro
[INSTRUMENT] Added gongs at beginning of first and second chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Added snares and kicks in second chorus parts

Exact reverse problem of "Harajuku Freak"! Here the voicebank was too loud, and I tried the Fairy VB first... But the quality of the Fairy VB is lower than the Lilith one for such reason... Also found weird the kicks and the snares were not present during the choruses.

CHIASMATIC (feat. Lily)
This is an unreleased song!

"CHIASMATIC" is a psychological horror track in a glitched and numeric darkwave style. Longest track of the album but with a great beauty.

Annihilation (feat. Lily)
This is an unreleased song!

In the spirit of "Re;BIRTH" and the songs have many similarities each other. There is still a difference which make them more mirrored than sister songs. Written thanks to censored bits of lyrics from "Carene" and "Black;Out".

BETANY (feat. Lily)
This is an unreleased song!

Really clear and nice music for a serious topic about forced wedding and how it would affect a yandere... To the point she decides to break the fates of the two families for the sake of her own. (Yes she's insane)

So enjoy listening the album! ^^
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there.

On yesterday, I published the crossfade for the album "Annihilation", its air date being on Saturday, but also on Lily's 8th birthday (already...). This album is for people being 16 and more, but for the crossfade I chose parts of the concerned song that weren't concerned by the explicit rating. There's still the warning at the beginning of the video though.

If you want to have a look at the inedite tracks, it's here:

This took me several hours to do this and I'll explain why later, but now, I have a tracklist to give, and sorry if it's coming only now, I also finished it yesterday evening.

The September album will be called "Laments" and will be aired on September 29th 2018. The tracklist contains songs with Akari, MAYU (who have a deadlined song each), Nyui and kokone.

CD22 - "Laments"

01. Bleeding Laments (feat. Kizuna Akari) - air date: August 30th
02. Flavia (feat. Kizuna Akari)
03. MORPHINIUM (feat. Kizuna Akari)
04. Xylia (feat. Anna Nyui)
05. Insomniac (feat. Anna Nyui)
06. Veronica (feat. Anna Nyui)
07. Kalonice (feat. kokone)
08. Empress of Heart (feat. kokone)
09. JILLENE (feat. kokone)
10. Paranoid (feat. MAYU) - air date: September 19th
11. Cradle of Hatred (feat. MAYU)
12. Tiffany (feat. MAYU)

OK, got written? So let's go to the "secret project" info.

The crossfade video is actually the 3rd clue to this project.

Hint n°1: The fruit is maturing. - Hint given on the blog
Hint n°2: Careful the red message. - Hint given in CD21's booklet
Hint n°3: I.M.I.T video fragment - Hint given in CD21.5's crossfade

For the voice, it's actually my voice, but with a lot of modifications: pitched up in Audacity, treated with Phasis and Fruity Love Philter, then by Nectar Elements (the legacy plugin, since I don't want to update to the new one seeming less intuitive for me)... And even for the tone itself I didn't take my usual one.

For this one, you have at least the title of the project revealed, "Imitation". So now that you know it, I let you guess on what it could be, how it could be. I won't let you guess when because I don't have an idea myself. But no worries it is coming, slowly, but it is coming indeed. So keep an eye around in everything.

Other news, the date for when I'll update VEGAS Pro to the v16 version is normally on August 27th. You'll be notified with a screen of the update request (with some parts censored such as private data), but more probably on Twitter. And the material lists will be updated as well. As for VOCALOID, I'm still waiting for an update of a voicebank I already have. Also, I see some messages about instabilities of the motor which don't really reassure me to be honest...

Enjoy!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there, not from her home, but from a place where normally she doesn't have Internet so is using the phone data to write this blog post but doesn't care because doesn't use her phone much (oh well)

(Sorry if it was a long intro)

I won't give you any hint for the moment on the project I'm working since now... 4 months? But there are already 2 clues out of here, try already to get a possible message and a possible idea of what I'm doing.

I don't know if I'll continue these types of blog posts but if it's the case, these may be on little things that, of course, have something to do with production, and that I want to talk about in public, without anything to fear.

First, I wanted to say that I'm aware that Ritsu will maybe have a Sharpkey VB. I actually knew about the engine few months ago, and my first reaction, to be honest, was "This is so much the free Chinese Vocaloid".

Seriously, if you are at ease with Vocaloid's UI, you'll know how to use Sharpkey. But more if you use Chinese VBs... Which is not my case. I know too little of Chinese compared to Japanese to make a song in Chinese.

And if you're wondering "what would be a dream team of Chinese Vocaloids if I did Chinese songs": Xingchen, Qingxian and Xin Hua. And maybe Tianyi as well. The first three would be a bit respectively Yukari, Lily and or IA or MAYU.

"You know there is a Japanese version of Xin Hua and Tianyi, why didn't you take them?"

This is not a problem of interest, but... For the two girls there are different reasons. And no, this reason is not called "money".

For Xin Hua, she's quite easy to get. I just want to see how much her Japanese voicebank (I don't have any fears for her Chinese voicebank) is durable and if she will be guaranteed to get updates for future engines. The Vocaloids for which I have the least fears for all the ones I have are the ones coming from Internet (especially GUMI, here, no doubt at all!) or AHS (who extended their support for V2 voicebanks that Yamaha doesn't want to support anymore). I'm less serene for MAYU or IA though (MAYU: don't know for an update; IA: risk of switching software (already told about it in the past)).

For Tianyi... The ways to get her are really, really restrictive. Her Japanese website only ships to Japan. Taobao does not export DVDs and we have to use a forwarding service ( = more expensive and more difficult to use than a direct shipping) if ever we wanted to export something from this website. And there is no Amazon Japan entry (biggest market for Vocaloid physical software boxes).

I actually have my eyes on Xin Hua though. Tianyi does not have that much priority compared to her. And since how long? A bit at the same time as I did for Akari.

OK, coming back to Sharpkey. The engine is free and I already tested quite quickly some of the voicebanks that already exist. There is generally less noise for some of them (except Yuan Xiao, who has a lot!) and Huan Xiao Yi even reminded me Luka's voice! The voicebanks are very huge though: more than 1Go to download each. But maybe greater quality than an UTAU voicebank in general.
So maybe someday, if some Japanese voicebanks for Sharpkey come out, I'll maybe test them. And if Ritsu gets his Skarpkey VB? No problem, I'll switch without any problem.

Speaking of UTAU... Maybe you saw it in the top right corner, but I'm currently in restricted material mode. I have less restrictions than usual though. I found a way to move my virtual machine for rendering the UTAU voicebanks to my own computer (the other one used a different virtualization engine and is not a laptop). However I didn't migrate everything yet.

I migrated these voicebanks:
- Meiji: Hunter, Lilith, Fairy
- Nyui: vivid
- Itako
- Kiritan: VCV and CVVC strong
- Totoko: Hoppu (cute)
- Sayu: one of the v2 VCV
- Tei: last VCV voicebank (3.1)
- Ritsu: Kire

I didn't do these migrations yet:
- Oniko: VCV and CVVC. Are in the download folder but not set into the virtual machine yet
- Nyui: raw. Is in the download folder but not set into the virtual machine yet
- Stella: ACT2 VCV+CV (requires a manipulation to make the voicebanks active at the same time) and 2018 VCV (not installed yet)
- Momo: Cute, Passion. Are in the download folder but not set into the virtual machine yet

Also the CVVC of Kiritan requires a manipulation as well (typically copy/paste and modify the copy of several lines).

The straight VB of Momo, which is a CV, is rendered on my current computer directly.

The hybrid attempt for Totoko due to corruptions of her archive is not migrated at all. Told about it in the past blog post as well.

So typically I'm restricted for Oniko, Stella and Momo (except the straight VB) and half-restricted for Nyui. For now.

This may be the last year I move Meiji's deadline of August 8th. This year I moved it to the 3rd with "SINCUBUS" (which got rated "Explicit" by the way...) but if I can continue like this, August 8th will remain a deadline like all the others. Also this week I won't post any song, since I'll work on the album-specific tracks. All are songs for Lily.

So no worries if I don't set up publicly things, that doesn't mean I'm not working!

I also may be a bit slowed down for answering questions. Expect more a 48h waiting time instead of 24h.

That said, enjoy!

DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM (15 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia here.

Hint n°1: The fruit is maturing. - Hint given
Hint n°2: Careful the red message. - See you in the booklet!

OK, that was for the other project.

And now... It's time for the changelog. Half of the tracks was modified, with less or more severe changes. If the track isn't listed, same as demo, you know the trick.

Athame (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[INSTRUMENT] Removed centered crash at the beginning of rolls
[INSTRUMENT] Added new intro lead (GMS)
[LYRICS] New lyrics added during bridge

I think you may have guessed the inspiration of this one, "Remember me" (sele). The thing is that I wanted to leave the bridge empty at first, but it sounded... Well, empty. So I filled it. I made it so it wouldn't be identical to the inspiration source though.

Meredith (feat. Sukone Tei)
[EXTENSION] Extended end with repeated chorus

This song is good, but the outtro was... A bit expeditive? So I extended it, especially on the solo beats part.

Edith (feat. Shirahane Totoko)
[INSTRUMENT] Changed first lead instrument (Vacuum Pro -> GMS)
[MIXDOWN] Redone micro-alignment of capella with instru

To be honest, I didn't really like this track. Now, that's... Slightly better. Yeah, there are some times where you don't like your works.

Tremere Rosae (feat. Kizuna Akari, Yuzuki Yukari)
[GLOBAL] Total reorganization of the track
[LYRICS] New lyrics added

Ah this one... I had an alternative idea for the organization so I set it up. Yes, the song is shorter. Yes, the organization is totally different. But yes, I could include the Onn VB of Yukari for once in a song, hooray! One year after having bought the V4 upgrade... About time!

SALENCIA (feat. Tohoku Itako)
[CAPELLA] The ending note at the last chorus is now shorter
[PATCH] Partially corrected an abrupt phoneme change

The instru of this one didn't change. The problem with Itako, it's the second time I noticed that, if I input really really long notes, she tends to sound robotic, even with fresamp. So I shortened the last note.

What About Now (feat. Tohoku Kiritan)
[INSTRUMENT] Modified piano pattern
[INSTRUMENT] Added semi-arp pattern to first verse

Wanted to make clearer the notes where Kiritan was singing.

MYRSENE (feat. GUMI)
[INSTRUMENT] Added bells pattern during choruses and second verse (M1)

One of the most minor improvements of this album.

Complex Choices (feat. Lily, GUMI)
[EXTENSION] Extended end

The song was a bit... Too short? But quite good enough though.

For those who didn't read Twitter, I told a bit about VOCALOID5 and about the possible absence of a physical version of the engine itself. The thing is, when I get downloads versions, it's mainly because I don't really have the choice (case of Vegas and all the virtual synths/sound packages). But the priorities remain the same: Vegas will be upgraded first, then VOCALOID5. And I'm mainly waiting for a V5 upgrade that is in my interest.

As for Totoko, I tried to repair the corruptions... I made tries when I was doing the album version. It's a big failure. Deformed notes, mainly because UTAU does adaptations based on the pitches. That means I can only use the Cute voicebank of Totoko for VCV (the CV is good but her vowels are a bit too strong and can make Totoko hard to understand, despite having an excellent sensibility for very short notes).

Also, with the album versions, we got over the 1000 total works (original songs (demo and album versions) + transcendent transitions + remixes)! Already... (A bit more than 850 instru works under FL)

And in case you're wondering if I'm suffering from heat... It's all the North part of the planet who's suffering. So, be extremely careful and take care of yourselves.

Next work? "Harajuku Freak". Instru is done, ust files are done. I'll finish the song on tomorrow. Promised, after two songs with quite harsh/mature lyrics, this one will have a lighter ambience.

Take care and enjoy!
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

I just finished it but here it is, the tracklist for CD21.5, the tracklist for August, which will be a bit... Special. You'll better see what I mean.

CD 21.5 "Annihilation"

Air date: August 25th
(the same date as Lily's birthday ^^)

01. MANCENILLIUM (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
02. ILLANTHA (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
03. Oceana (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
04. Isolation (feat. CUL)
05. Faith (feat. CUL)
06. Judith (feat. CUL) - Air date: August 16th 2018
07. Harajuku Freak (feat. Gahata Meiji) - Air date: July 2018
08. Carinthia (feat. Gahata Meiji) - Air date: July 2018
09. SINCUBUS (feat. Gahata Meiji) - Air date: August 3rd 2018 (corresponds to August 8th deadline)
10. CHIASMATIC (feat. Lily)
11. Annihilation (feat. Lily)
12. BETANY (feat. Lily)

album-only tracks

The album-only tracks will be produced between August 4th and August 11th.

The deadline for Meiji (August 8th) is moved to August 3rd. I'm not sure about having a good Internet during the Aug 4th-11th week, so I rather publishing the song just before going out the home. Also, I'll be in material-restricted mode from August 4th to August 18th included. Which means no UTAU songs during this period. That's why I decided that Meiji's songs would be the first ones to be produced. Two in July, one at the right beginning of August.

All the other songs (with Yukari or CUL, except for "Judith" which is deadlined) will be aired randomly, as soon as they will be done.

_______________________________________________________

Other info for organization for VOCALOID5 if ever I get the engine (because this will happen someday, it's just that I'm waiting a correct physical starter pack, more info here).

1) The voicebanks

I guess that in the starter pack there will just be the "normal" version, including the new standard vocals. Since I don't work with male vocals because their working method is a bit different (octave adaptation inter alia) and I don't know how to work with English correctly in VOCALOID, the only vocal I'd be able to use would be... Kaori. Though, I have very few interest for her. Maybe someday I'll learn to better love her, who knows? ^^ But I'm not sure to use her in songs (or maybe a "try"...).

2) The compatibility patches

VOCALOID5 projects are in .vpr format.

If ever you need a file for VOCALOID4 (or VOCALOID3) when the file has been done under VOCALOID5 (how will you know if this is the case: I'll say it when I'll upgrade the engine and use it as default), please contact me first. The preparation of such files may take a while (at least 1h, after, depends of the complexity).

3) XSY for VOCALOID5

Other thing about V5, the engine does not support XSY. I actually used the feature in very, very specific conditions:
- the singers have to be at least from the same company. Better if it's the same character. (In this case, it's V4 engine itself which creates these "hybrid" VBs)
- no voicebanks that are totally opposed (example that I'll never use: whisper/strong VBs)
- never XSY V3 and V4 together or 2 V3: they're not meant for that
(By the way, can someone explain me why V4 auto-created a hybrid "Akari/Yukari V3"???)

If you want some examples: I did a XSY Zunko V4/Yukari Jun for "Better than Nothing" as a shortcut. But the one I was using the most was the hybridization of Yukari Jun and Yukari Lin, permitting to get a stronger voice for Yukari but without being too high in pitch.

Well this combination can't be done in V5... Which means I'll just have to do double tracks. You may just get a bit different results since it will be on separated tracks instead of cross-synthesis.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

So maybe see you later in the week for "Relic of Hope"!

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here.

This will maybe be the first blog news of this type but... If we told a bit about recent events?

I know everyone is or stressed or hyped by the new VOCALOID generation... This was... Not really a surprise.

Vocaloid5 has been announced yesterday by Yamaha, few hours after a leak of one AHS voicebank (hello Sora Haruno), with their 4 voicebanks and stuff, few days after they announced stopping the selling of 4 voicebanks, and to be honest, I was sure they wouldn't go for a "commercial suicide" (if we can talk about it this way).

So... The upcoming of V5... For the moment I won't update, and the main reason is "I wait for a starter pack with one of the 9 Vocaloids I already have". I don't know which one may come out first, even if I think a bit about GUMI.

I also don't have "taking Sora" in my plans for the moment.

The thing that is worrying me the most is for IA. Personally I still wait for an update to V5, but if ever she was going to totally switch to CeVIO (in terms of Japanese voicebank), well, I will consider into taking a CeVIO engine as well... I'm still waiting for the moment.

If ever one interesting starter pack goes out, this will go into the top priorities.

VEGAS: the v16 will be out in few months and I'll update as soon as possible. This is the top one priority.

The new plugins: last week I acquired Vacuum Pro, you already have some examples of use in "Complex Choices" (where the plugin does all synths) or "Corruption Syndrome" (the reverse atmosphere mainly).

The pace is quite slow because of fatigue problems mainly... And also because for the moment I do many failures... I'm really sorry about that m(_ _)m

So if you have to remember few things:

1) VEGAS Pro 16 is the top one priority at the moment and will be updated as soon as possible.
2) I won't take Sora, it's not in the "to-do list"
3) I'll wait for a starter pack with one of the vocals I already have for updating to VOCALOID5 (if possible, physical package would be nice)
4) The next cover is on September so no worries if I don't air one for this month and the next one
5) On Monday I air a song with Kiritan
6) Next album will feature at least Meiji and CUL. Maybe Lily too. No idea about the others, but it will probably be Vocaloids (since I'll be in "restricted material mode" for 2 weeks in August)
7) I'm updating every UTAU into VCV, Ritsu's folder is already installed, I'll have to do tests with Oniko, and one with a "hybrid" voicebank of Totoko due to 5 severely corrupted archives (40/50 files per archive if you saw the tweet! [normal VCV (F4), Kire C5/A3/D4 have a few files corrupted, Kire F4 is just impossible to read, and no, it's not a hard drive problem]).
(The "Hoppu" one is a sane file though, that's why I'm using it right now)

Also, I will "pre-announce" it now... I'm working on another project since April, but hushhhhh... Wait a bit, wait a bit before the fruit matures well... ^^

So if you were wondering these questions about V5, here you get your answers. So, wait and see.
And don't forget to enjoy

DOWNLOAD ALBUM (12 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia here!

Little album with Momo, GUMI, Akari and Sayu! I finished the album quite late because of fatigue, but the most important part is that it's here.

Changelog time, as usual!

Antheia (feat. Momone Momo -straight-)
[INSTRUMENT] Removed strings during first arp bridge
[INSTRUMENT] Crash source changed
[INSTRUMENT] Crash is now playing at each impact

Jump for Happiness (feat. Yurika Sayu)
[INSTRUMENT] Changed arp pad (V-Station -> Hybrid)
The arp pad in the demo was a bit out of sync at some moments. The new one is maybe less clear, but more in phase.

Passion Reaper (feat. Yurika Sayu)
[INSTRUMENT] Added supersaw during bridge (Xpand!2)
[MIXDOWN] Modified volume of bell pads
Note: the phase of the pad may have changed a bit, due to rendering.
I also enhanced a bit the dynamics in the bridge.

STEFANIA (feat. GUMI)
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX during chorus
[MIXDOWN] Remastered and centered panning of VFX
Note: I noticed that there are some instruments that are not centered, especially the gated pad. Try the song with headphones.

Selenium (feat. GUMI)
[PATCH] Corrected issue of volume ending for gated pad and lead
Do you want to know a funny thing? The demo instrumental was actually abnormally long due to the gated pad repeating itself and itself. On a computer, almost impossible to detect it and I noticed it during the second test on the mp3 player. And for the demo, on the computer, I decided to shorten a bit the end. Big mistake... Now I repaired this into FL itself. Instru and song have the same length (if we exclude the mp3 treatment "latency"). And the song is ending normally!

After;Math (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[EXTENSION] Added bridge before pitch change
[MIXDOWN] Lowered atmo volume (0.9 -> 0.7)
[REMOVAL] Removed first intro part
The song is actually the same length almost. I set the atmo a bit too high in the demo. The purpose of this atmo was to make the song less empty.

Remind me (feat. Momone Momo -Passion-)
[EXTENSION] Extended end
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX series at outtro
[INSTRUMENT] Second outtro part has no arp pad pattern
Which makes this song the longest of the album (more than 5 minutes!).

Other news. On Thursday, piapro opened again for European Union! Which means, able to access its data correctly! And the PV is online since Friday afternoon. Go check it please!
(Well with the changelog you may have guessed that the PV uses the demo instrumental)

I won't be on the computer on July 7th (reason: Japan Expo, the only exposition I go every year). So if you want to contact me, better do it another day than this one... ^^" Or wait a little bit.

The next deadlines, approaching very fast: Sunday you'll have "Ingrid" with Itako and on Tuesday "MYRSENE" with GUMI, for the birthdays of both these girls! I'm not sure about a midnight airing, but you know it, if it's not online at midnight it will be here later in the day (French time of course, so that means if after 5 PM I publish the song I'm still in the good hours even if it's the next day in Japan).

Enjoy the album and the PV, and see you on Sunday then for Itako's song
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there!

I'm quite tired for the moment, but I'm still standing. So I have little info about covers for the next months and a new tracklist.

The covers:

The covers for July and August are cancelled (yeah I did triple upload for June instead, for special occasion). They will resume on September, one week before the album airing date for the concerned month, and it will be "MYS" with Yukari Lin. Since the time I wanted to cover this song... And if you want to know what delayed this cover so much... Problems of repro build. Impossible to replicate some effects until the new tries few weeks ago.
Like usual, it will be on MQube.

And now... The tracklist!
This will be tight because there are some chances that I begin this tracklist before I finish the other one. But here are the other tracks that will follow and the air dates that are already scheduled, the deadlines.
Too much deadlines in June!!!

CD21 - "Corruption Syndrome"
Air date: July 28th 2018 (Sat.)

01. Corruption Syndrome (feat. Kizuna Akari)
02. Athame (feat. Kizuna Akari)
03. Amanda (feat. Sukone Tei) - June 19th
04. Meredith (feat. Sukone Tei)
05. Psycho Paths (feat. Shirahane Totoko)
06. Edith (feat. Shirahane Totoko) - July 10th
07. Tremere Rosae (feat. Kizuna Akari, Yuzuki Yukari)
08. Ingrid (feat. Tohoku Itako) - June 24th
09. SALENCIA (feat. Tohoku Itako)
10. What About Now (feat. Tohoku Kiritan) - July 16th
11. A Beautiful Day (feat. Tohoku Kiritan)
12. Florence (feat. Kizuna Akari)
13. MYRSENE (feat. GUMI) - June 26th
14. Relic of Hope (feat. GUMI)
15. Complex Choices (feat. Lily, GUMI)

So I'll try my very best! ><
Also, I have the confirmation that for the last week of June I'll be under the "between 3 and 6 songs per week" schedule. Studies are over for me until September officially.
I'm not very sure about the schedule for the upcoming year, but if needed I'll adapt myself.

Speaking of deadlines by the way... The second deadline for Akari is August 30th. For me that's quite great news since she is very late compared to the other regular singers, now she will be at the same level as others... ^^ The date has been written on the song automatic deadlines document, where you'll find every deadline for each main and regular UTAU/Vocaloid I use.

Next ones on the list?
Meiji, CUL, Lily and Akari all have deadlines in August. So... Keep an eye on it!

Enjoy and take care!
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia here

Very quick news while uploading a song to just give you two little informations.

The first one is about the work pace for next weeks. I'll go back to "between 3 and 6 songs per week" on June 4th. The songs for next week will be at least on the 5th ("CLOTHORA"), 7th ("Jump for Happiness") and 9th ("Selenium") (+ bonuses for the 9th, MQube only).

Now you got it, there is a little problem with the PV of "Remind me". I need access to data on piapro (mainly for some credits) to properly upload the PV. The problem is that... The society behind piapro (yup, the guys behind Miku, from Crypton) have closed their website accesses to all countries in European Union (including France, where I live) because they are not up to date with the new European law (GDPR). And it's like this since Friday.
So the PV will be delayed to an unknown date before June 23rd (album deadline).

I don't know when Crypton will open their websites to everyone again, I hope soon, but in this case, please avoid contacting me with piapro, I won't be able to go on the website for a little moment...

Also if I wanted to upload some Akari's stuff on piapro, well, I got stuck.

OK, so enjoy the new song "Fallen" with the VCV version of Sayu. Only great stuff! <3

DOWNLOAD ALBUM

DOWNLOAD BONUS

Hello, Nynthixia here!

Yeah there are 2 download links for this time. The first one is the album, the second is a bonus with Akari. No worries, not the same file as the other time.

It's time for the changelog!

Shatter (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-)
[INSTRUMENT] Major supersaws now play during all choruses

Just a minor dynamics change.

ANILINIUM (feat. MAYU)
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX during first downlifter adlib in intro
[INSTRUMENT] Modified ending impact
[MIXDOWN] Enhanced instru volume

The "aaah" in the intro began quite abruptly in the demo. This was the major problem. Also the volume of this track was really low compared to other instrumentals. In a general view, the spectrum is still a bit less louder, but in the final mixdown, there should be less problems.

Decades of Sorrow (feat. Shirahane Totoko)
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX
[MIXDOWN] Lowered volume of intro synth and bells

In some cases the intro was really too loud. And added a little VFX before the bridge.

Eirpne (feat. Shirahane Totoko)
[EXTENSION] Added an extra intro
[INSTRUMENT] Removed beats from second subpart of first verse
[INSTRUMENT] Modified intro
[INSTRUMENT] Modified snare roll source
[REMOVAL] Removed a part of the second bridge

This one is quite weird. I first wanted to extend it. With all the changes that have been made, the length is the same, but the composition is really different. There are really some airs of "Me! Me! Me!" for this intro though... More than in the demo. *laughs* But since the story of "Eirpne" is also inspired a lot by this song. More hommage than ever.

Kindness (feat. Tohoku Zunko)
[INSTRUMENT] VFX begins at beginning of sampled roll
[MIXDOWN] Modified volume of VFX during final part
[PATCH] Modified ending bells (Anti High-Frequencies)

The demo got a warning for the ending, with a note that could have a heavy metallic resonnance at the end. I attenuated it in the album version. (Still be careful though I'd say)

Roxane (feat. MAYU)
[EXTENSION] Extended outtro
[INSTRUMENT] Modified ending impact

I actually wanted to extend this one as well. And it got extended.

Azalea (feat. Tohoku Zunko)
[EXTENSION] Extended outtro

This brings an even sadder note to the song (which is actually a tragedy).

Aurora (feat. Tohoku Zunko)
[INSTRUMENT] Articulated ending VFX with volume automations (0.8/0.6)

Without the second repetition, the bridge sounded a bit empty. 

ANTENOVAE (feat. Kizuna Akari)
[INSTRUMENT] Modified intro (now begins with fading in atmo+bridge + percloop)
[INSTRUMENT] Octave raise for second verse bridge pluck

No worries, in terms of high frequencies the music is harmless. Also modified the intro. Maybe it has attenuated the variations PoiZone tends to do with some atmos...

Hope you will enjoy this album. And this is the transition to the season 4. The track "Decades of Sorrow" being from S04, same for "Natasha"... All the rest is season 3. The last ones of season 3.

I aired all the demos for Momo today. "Disappearence" got aired few hours ago, don't hesitate to check. Also, please stay tuned on YouTube until beginning of June, something tells me an alternative version with a Vocaloid of "Remind me" should happen very soon...
If you want to have an idea of the singer, well, I hesitated between IA and Yukari (the Lin VB). Answer soon.
Or in the catalog if you are a real impatient, haha

The next deadlines, for reminder: June 5th, 7th and 9th. "CLOTHORA" with GUMI first, then "Jump for Happiness" with Sayu, then "Selenium" with GUMI again (haha this title).
And after, the deadlines are for mid/end of June. CD21 should contain tracks with GUMI (yeah, again), Tei, Itako and Akari at least. Not sure if Totoko and Kiritan will be in it (maybe?) or else it will be for CD21.5. I don't have tracklists written for the moment.
And actually I'm going through a huge stress period until June... That may explain the current lyrics... Maybe?

Other little things:
- the cover/remix for June 9th will be... Maybe both, and you won't get the titles of the songs for now. I really want to keep the surprise (birthday presents, remember).
- all the chibis are online (^_^)
- there are no new plans for new Vocaloids right now. Neither for synths. Priorities are for the new Vegas version if they sell it this year (for the moment they update every year) and possibly updates for the current voicebanks.

And that's all for the moment! Enjoy!
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there.

No, this is not a joke. Today is the day when Image-Line (the really nice guys between FL Studio) posted the first release candidate of FL Studio 20. And for those who are wondering "why FL 20 when the previous version was FL 12"... It's typically because now the number of version of FL = the number of years the company exists.
And also because 13 is the death number for some Occidental people, but hush...

Little note: I only use frequently for producing release candidates and release versions, because I know they're stable enough. I also download betas, but just for checking things, being used to the new features etc. And hopefully I did it for FL 20...

So, I told you when FL 20 would be here, the third season of songs would stop and we would go on to the fourth one. Hooray! This has been... Almost two years this third season exists. Seriously, the season 3 began at the end of June 2016. So yeah, you still add one month and a half and we would be in this season for 2 years.

Typically... The changes between S03/S04 will be very minor compared to the ones between S02/S03 and, most of all, between S01/S02 (where I totally changed the DAW, and hopefully!).

However, in terms of tags, there will be a few changes.

- Songs using Transistor Bass and Fruity Delay 3
These two plugins, the first one is an instrument, the second one an effect, both exclusive to FL, are only available since v12.x of FLS. Which means, in former versions of FL (down to FL9, this is the oldest version that I can unlock), these two plugins can't be used. When I was working with FL12, the songs would be tagged as "No compatibility patch", with often an indication of the exact build used.
In FL20, there will still be a tag, but this time, unless another plugin gets added in FL20.x and gets exclusive to FL (no VST version), this tag will be "Limited compatibility patch" with infos of the "big versions" of FL that can have this patch. In this case, imagine I make a song using Fruity Delay 3 in FL20. The song will be tagged "Limited compatibility patch", and will be able to get a patch for FL12, but not for FL11, FL10 or FL9.

- Metadata
FL automatically fills a line by itself when rendering a file (instrus files, some remixes, covers), saying that the encoding has been done with FL 20 instead of FL 12. So you know what you should expect in terms of compatibility.

- Pages on the blog
After "Shatter" will be released (the song has been done yesterday, so it's still in S03 but it will be the last one), I'll finish to fill the lite version of the table for S03 and will open a page for S04.

Else, what S03 was able to bring to songs:
- several FL plugins: Harmor and Harmless were the first ones, then PoiZone, Toxic Biohazard and Morphine, then Transistor Bass, finally, Sakura and Sawer
- non-FL instrument plugins: M1, Hybrid, V-Station, Xpand!2, FM8 are the most major ones
- better quality in lyrics (new patches, yay)
- I learnt how to sidechain during S03 (yes, that late)
- new music styles (such as dubstep)
- GUMI, Zunko, CUL, MAYU and now Akari made their first debuts in my songs during S03 (yeah for Akari I know, "ANTENOVAE" is actually a test for her, now serious things -> S04)

The next songs? You'll get "Shatter" on Thursday, the last S03 song. The songs that will come after this are "Decades of Sorrow" with Totoko and "Natasha" with Zunko.
After this, we begin the 40th album's demos... (Already...)

I'll be in "limited material status" until the end of the week, that's why I made Meiji's songs quite before this week. And remember I'll use Akari a lot for the moment.

So, "farewell S03 and welcome S04"... I'll try my very best ><
Nynthixia

So, here we are... I guess? Hello, it's Nynthixia here, and something very special just arrived at my home this afternoon.

This is quite a long story that I won't tell here, because if I was at home on Saturday I'd get her on Saturday. But now, here she is! Welcome home Akari~

OK well... First I wanted to thank all my family because it's thanks to them the package is here.
And thanks everyone for supporting the songs.

Now, second part of this blog post (this will be very long)...

- the next song will feature Akari, and you'll get two other songs this week: "GRETARIA" with MAYU on May 6th, then "Kindness" with Zunko on May 8th. And the week after, you'll get a song with Meiji, "Shatter", on May 10th. So yeah, lots of work to do.

- I modify the tracklist of the album being in production and I add Akari's song at the end of this tracklist. The title will be revealed and the tracklist updated when the song will be out.

- For the June album ("Happiness Disappearence"), all songs that would have CUL as vocals will have Akari as vocals instead. It's just that Akari has to get at least... 12 songs to be at the same level as others? No worries, CUL will be in the album after and in the September album thanks to a deadline date (August 16th). This will be updated as soon as possible (if not done yet!).

- The May cover will be "Remember me" with Akari (instru by feli), as for its date... Maybe the Saturday before the album (keep an eye open around May 19th?). As for June's thing... Won't tell it, you'll know it on June 9th! Maybe a remix? A cover? Both? Don't know!
Something tells me that Akari may be involved in this birthday present though... But won't say more, else it's not funny

- If you saw it, you saw that little chibis are coming on this blog. This is still a WIP though, I didn't do the chibis of the UTAUs I don't use anymore (Aika, Midori, Hachi (these 3: I don't use them anymore at all), Sana and Ruko (not using them for the moment because I don't manipulate them very well so that's why I set their using status as "occasional")).
(So typically for those who want to know, these are chibis inspired from the little chibis of Danganronpa... But I made them for each VOCALOID/UTAU that is used on this blog... Or almost, if you read above. Plus, they're cute.)

Forgot something. Akari's uses for songs have been updated on the table. Globally, I'll try to avoid severe yandere themes for her (may still be possible, but you know she won't be my first choice for this lyrics type) but OK for the others. We get the same characteristics of use as Yukari. And she is on regular singers list. Even if you'll very often see her for a little moment!

- Last thing, very important!
Patches!
The same error that had been detected on "Maeva" a month ago was also detected on "Hidden" (album "Truth Garden") and on "BELICIA" (album "Babylon"). You can download their patches here (Hidden) and here (BELICIA). Replace the former vers with these ones if you downloaded these albums!

... When I said there was a lot to say, wasn't kidding.
So, enjoy, and see you soon!

DOWNLOAD ALBUM (12 TRACKS)

(Warning: this album is not recommended for people under 16 (instead of under 14))

Hello, Nynthixia there!

So here it is, the "Memento Mori" album... This one has lots of changes. Here is the complete changelog for each track!

Lullaby for Mother (feat. Anna Nyui -raw-, -vivid-)
[CAPELLA] Octave raise on final part
[CAPELLA] Final part is now under effects
[INSTRUMENT] Added reverbed snares at the second intro part
[MIXDOWN] Modified second atmo scratching during final bridge

For the snares and the effect on the voice, it was more for dynamics. As for the pitch raise for the final part, it's to more fit with the actual instru sequence.
For reminder: this song has the raw and vivid vocals at the same time.
And it's the song being under the "16 years" age limit.

Gone Too Early (feat. Anna Nyui -vivid-)
[CAPELLA] Modifying abrupt pitch changes due to pitch curves for CHO capella

I didn't change the instru, but I told about patching a bit the capella for abrupt pitch issues in the choruses.

The Unloved One (feat. Anna Nyui -raw-)
[PATCH] Modified remastering of intro atmo to fix saturation (Anti-Saturation)

The mastering in the demo for the first atmo sample was the cause of an ugly saturation.
Also, the pitch issues seem to be attenuated in this version but I didn't do any direct changes...

Napea (feat. Anna Nyui -raw-)
[INSTRUMENT] Intro first part now plays arp pad instead of sidechained choirs
[INSTRUMENT] Outtro now plays piano instead of sidechained choirs
[INSTRUMENT] Piano now plays during choruses
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX before final song impact

I'll be honest, the demo was pretty messy and out of beat sometimes. This should be less the case.

INDUNIA (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[EXTENSION] Extended intro
[INSTRUMENT] Added sidechained sweep (3xOSC)

More dynamics with sweep.

Blame Yourself (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[EXTENSION] Extended intro with new pattern

Silence (feat. Sukone Tei)
[CAPELLA] Changed voicebank (Sukone Tei 3.1 CV (former) / Sukone Tei 3.1.1 VCV (current))
[PATCH] Corrected cut between reverse vocal and impact

The capella change was done on all Tei's songs.
As for the unnatural cut of the samples, it's fixed now.

FRANZESCA (feat. Sukone Tei)
[CAPELLA] Changed voicebank (Sukone Tei 3.1 CV (former) / Sukone Tei 3.1.1 VCV (current))
[MIXDOWN] Fixed filter cutoff low thresholds of arp to avoid fades on/off

If I set the low threshold at 0, the pluck became silent. Now you hear it all the long!

Do Not Dare (feat. Sukone Tei)
[CAPELLA] Changed voicebank (Sukone Tei 3.1 CV (former) / Sukone Tei 3.1.1 VCV (current))
[INSTRUMENT] Added impact at the middle of second verse

Added a bit more dynamics, but that's a mild change compared to some other songs.

Memento Mori (feat. Lily)
[EXTENSION] Extended final bridge
[INSTRUMENT] Removed pluck pattern at the intro
[INSTRUMENT] Harmor arp pattern now plays during the whole final vocal part
[MIXDOWN] Deactivated reverb sub-effect of post-Nectar Elements treatment for bridge parts

For the intro, it's to more fit the actual TV version (don't ask for it, private track) of this song, which didn't include the Sytrus pluck at the beginning and started with the atmo.
(Note: OST type song, some restrictions have been set for this track, ref to Terms of Use)

At the end of April I'll air a cover of "Lience" with IA ROCKS on MQube. The cover/remix for May hasn't been chosen yet.

And as for Akari, I'm just waiting for the opportunity to ask a shipment for her, that will come very soon. Finally a release date!
For me I think it won't be before mid-May (the time the package gets out of Japan, I'll have to wait at least for one week)

For the albums, Akari will have lots of songs which will be done in June and July mainly.

As for the lyrics I write for other producers, they will soon be posted here in French and Spanish as well.
Reminder:
- for French and Spanish, I give official lyrics, so please only use these ones. Same for English.
- For other unsupported languages (all that is not French, English, Japanese and Spanish), if you want to translate the lyrics, please use the English text, which is the original file. Not Japanese! (As for French and Spanish these will be adaptations so little changes possibly...)
This will be written soon on the terms of use, no worries.

Enjoy well the album!

DOWNLOAD ALBUM (12 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia there!

The timelapse between this album and the next one will maybe be a bit short... I still hope you'll enjoy both of them anyways. Changelog time!

Moon Dust (feat. kokone)
[EXTENSION] Extended intro, added SFX
[INSTRUMENT] Added roll in last bridge
Especially for the roll where the bridge was weird without it...

IRISANDRA (feat. Lily)
[INSTRUMENT] Added bells A pattern at intro
[INSTRUMENT] Added bells B pattern (M1) playing after first beat measures
[MIXDOWN] Slight volume enhancement on both capellas
The original sounded quite empty, now you have more bells!

White Sleep (feat. Hoshine Stella)
[CAPELLA] Capella fades in with filter automation instead of volume automation
[CAPELLA] Final sentences have now a delay
[INFO: COMPATIBILITY] Project is not compatible anymore with versions of FL below 12.5.1 b165
[MIXDOWN] Global remastering for sequence pads equilibration
I wanted to make the delays for the demo and delayed them (ha ha) for the album. Also on some devices there was a problem of equilibrium between the volumes of the different instruments. Same for the beginning of the capella where the first words were impossible to hear.

Dear Bunnies (feat. Tohoku Kiritan)
[CAPELLA] Double remastering and reverb lowering
Kiritan should sound a bit clearer now. Especially when I'm working on the VCV which is a quite soft voice compared to the other versions.

Former Memories (feat. Tohoku Kiritan)
[INSTRUMENT] Changed atmo preset (Morphine)
[INSTRUMENT] Changed sequence pad preset (FM8)
I had difficulties to find a good atmosphere for the song when I made the demo. So I did a few changes.

Re;Venge (feat. Lily)
[INSTRUMENT] Added Slayer patterns

Forget What I Said (feat. kokone)
[INSTRUMENT] Added sidechained VFX for full intro and choruses
Last chorus sounded empty compared to the other ones.

NADEGIA (feat. kokone)
[MIXDOWN] Modified final fade out
The final fade out in the demo was very, very long. Too long.

OK some announces to make now!

1) the cover.

Moving it to 2 on April due to a lack of time. The schedule is actually tight currently because of the reduced time (I usually have 4 or 5 weeks to do everything, here it was a bit less). The songs will be:
- "December 9th" with GUMI (beginning of April)
- "Lience" with IA (I may modify the original instru though...) (end of April)

2) advancement on "Memento Mori"

If you saw the discography page, I think you may have seen that the album has a fixed rating, "Explicit". It's due to the first song. When you'll get it on March 30th, you'll maybe understand. I tried to make it softer but... The idea was still there.
Typically it's because one sentence has a reference to possible children torture... Ouch.

So this song of course is done since few days ago, and you'll get it on next Friday. But keep in mind it will be more limited in terms of publishing (age limits mandatory, explicit warnings etc).

3) tracklists for April and May

Because yeah there are two of them. I had to adapt myself with the different deadlines, because May and June have quite a lot of them. With December, these are the heaviest months.

I confirm that the CD20 will feature:
- Meiji
- Zunko
- MAYU
- Totoko (only one who doesn't have a deadline in this period!)

CD20.5 will feature:
- GUMI
- Momo
- Sayu
- CUL

So Itako is for CD21. With the math, apparently CD20.5 demos will be finished at beginning/mid-June. Here are the two tracklists (there is no indication for Meiji's appends, it's normal).

CD20 "About Us"  - AIR DATE: MAY 28TH

01. Shatter (feat. Gahata Meiji) - for May 10th
02. About Us (feat. Gahata Meiji)
03. GRETARIA (feat. MAYU) - for May 6th
04. ANILINIUM (feat. MAYU)
05. Decades of Sorrow (feat. Shirahane Totoko)
06. Eirpne (feat. Shirahane Totoko)
07. Kindness (feat. Tohoku Zunko) - for May 8th
08. Natasha (feat. Tohoku Zunko)
09. Roxane (feat. MAYU)
10. Voodoo Daughter (feat. Gahata Meiji)
11. Azalea (feat. Tohoku Zunko)
12. Aurora (feat. Tohoku Zunko)

CD20.5 "Happiness Disappearence" - AIR DATE: JUNE 23RD

01. Antheia (feat. Momone Momo)
02. Disappearence (feat. Momone Momo) - for May 22nd
03. Jump for Happiness (feat. Yurika Sayu) - for June 7th
04. Passion Reaper (feat. Yurika Sayu)
05. STEFANIA (feat. GUMI)
06. Selenium (feat. GUMI) - for June 9th (the reason? Don't see yet...?)
07. Melpomene (feat. CUL)
08. After;Math (feat. CUL)
09. CLOTHORA (feat. GUMI) - for June 5th
10. Remind Me (feat. Momone Momo)
11. Zurine (feat. CUL)
12. Fallen (feat. Yurika Sayu)

For Momo I didn't indicate it but it may be the straight F4 VB, as usual.

3) a patch... Coming very very late

For the ones who have downloaded the album "Maidens of the Horrors", an error is present on the track "Maeva". A patched version of the track along with its certificate is available just here.
The bug is a problem of repeating instru due to treatments in Vegas, and since this happened on the last track and that the silence at the end became total... Very difficult to notice!
I'll try to do in sort this doesn't happen anymore in future tracks...

So enjoy!

Nynthixia

06. Blame Yourself (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
07. Silence (feat. Sukone Tei)
08. FRANZESCA (feat. Sukone Tei)
09. Do Not Dare (feat. Sukone Tei)

11. Eliane (feat. Lily)
12. Memento Mori (feat. Lily)

Got it for the Huntress song? Yeah, first track.

Yeah for the date I can't really set it after because on April 21st and 28th I won't be at home and I'll be very limited on my material (no possiblity to work with VCV VBs especially). That means I have to work quite quickly and efficiently (at least 3 per week).

The reason why I didn't set the name of Nyui's appends is because I don't know which one will be the best. But if you still want to have a range of the possibilities, it may be or the vivid voicebank that I love a lot, or the raw voicebank which is the most recent one.
And if ever there is an interesting voicebank being aired on Nyui's birthday... Who knows?

As for other voicebanks:

- Zunko: she has a deadline fixed on May 8th. She will maybe be featured in CD20.
- MAYU: next deadline on May 6th. She will be featured in CD20 like Zunko.
- Meiji: next deadline on May 10th. Or CD20 or CD20.5 I still have to calculate this.
- Momo: deadline on May 22nd, more probabilities for CD20.5.
- Sayu: same as Momo, CD20.5. Her next deadline is on June 7th.
- GUMI: CD20.5, 2 deadlines in June (5th and 26th).
- Itako: next deadline on June 24th. Probably CD20.5.

From April 21st to April 28th: I'll work only with VOCALOID voicebanks or with CV UTAU voicebanks (so not the following ones: Nyui, Itako, Kiritan, Stella ; very few possibilities for Meiji because it is music-dependant).

On June 9th it's sure there will be a cover. As for this month this may be a remix, but I'll maybe post it way later than usual. I'm still thinking about it. The place, as usual, will be on MQube.

For material, still the same, Akari is on the wishlist, now I have to wait for the VOCALOID voicebank!

Have fun!

DOWNLOAD ALBUM (12 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia there!

And here is the album "Unseen". I got some pleasant surprises when I made the music tests. So I hope you'll enjoy this album a lot!

Changelog time!

Carene (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)

[INSTRUMENT] Added bass pluck (Mikro Prism)

I found out that the song sounded quite empty. Hence the adding of the bass.

Muriel (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-)

[EXTENSION] Extended bridge between first chorus and second verse
[INSTRUMENT] Added sup arp piano notes during second verse and first vocal bridge
[PATCH] Corrected capella volumes (Anti Saturation treatment)

And the only song with Meiji in this album which doesn't use VCV (I tried VCV for the song, she sounded really detached). So it stayed with the original CV capella. Also this version having a little trouble of volume when remastered, I corrected it for the album.

Aithnea (feat. IA)

[EXTENSION] Extended outtro
[MIXDOWN] Remastered arp bells pattern

The arp modification is maybe the slightest one.

Lost Innocence (feat. IA)

[CAPELLA] Added "la la la" part during first chorus
[EXTENSION] Intro now begins with SFX

I noticed that on the first chorus, IA can sound a bit detached. And on the second chorus she sounded more than correct. Now this should be better!

Tara (feat. Namine Ritsu)

[MIXDOWN] Remastered capella (second NE treatment)

For Ritsu, it's the reverse problem of Meiji. His voice is a bit soft but sounding really human for me and that's why I always kept it.

Bloody Infection (feat. IA)

[INSTRUMENT] Added snareclap in other measures including GM beats
[INSTRUMENT] Added growl synth during second chorus
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX before second verse

Just for dynamics. Nothing else.

Necessary Judgement (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-)

[MIXDOWN] Remastered capella

With the VCV version. And the music was sometimes too loud in some cases. Corrected.

The tracklist for March will be given to you at the end of next week. As for the song "Petulantia", yes, I switched the place with "White Sleep". So, just saying... "Petulantia" is with Lily, and I tried to do dubstep. Um... Unless you know how to configure her correctly on the dynamic level, this is maybe not a good idea. But hey, I think you'll have a good surprise. This will be aired later in the morning (near 11 AM maybe? (French time))

The plans for a cover on March are not determined yet, when I'll get an idea, I'll tell it in a blog post.

See you later...
Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there!

So, the last demo of "Unseen" being aired (a bit earlier than I thought (thanks the snow...)), I can now announce the tracklist which includes the song for Stella that you got on Monday morning.

And this one will have a weird organization... Here is the CD19 tracklist, "Vengeful and Graceful" (the title was revealed in the blog post of the song "JIULETA"), airing date: March 24th 2018.

01. Moon Dust (feat. kokone) - will be aired on February 14th - deadline schedule
02. Rafaela (feat. Tohoku Kiritan) - will be aired on February 26th
03. IRISANDRA (feat. Lily) - will be aired on February 28th
04. White Sleep (feat. Hoshine Stella) - possible air date: February 24th or 25th March 2nd
05. Dear Bunnies (feat. Tohoku Kiritan) - will be aired on February 13th - deadline schedule
06. Former Memories (feat. Tohoku Kiritan) - will be aired on March 1st
07. Petulantia (feat. Lily) - will be aired on March 2nd February 24th
08. Re;Venge (feat. Lily) - will be aired on February 22nd - deadline schedule
09. Sand of Time (feat. Hoshine Stella) - will be aired on March 4th
10. JIULETA (feat. Hoshine Stella) has been aired on February 5th - deadline schedule
11. Forget What I Said (feat. kokone) - will be aired on February 27th
12. NADEGIA (feat. kokone) - will be aired on March 3rd

So I wrote all the dates of airing that have been fixed. The ones in yellow are the deadline ones, the blue ones are the holidays scheduled ones. Also this means that for the 2 upcoming weeks (and the current one) I'll be airing only 2 songs each week, before switching to the fastest pace on the Feb 26th-Mar 4th week.

For reminder: no cover this month. This will come back on March, probably the Saturday before the album airing.

Enjoy!

EDIT of February 18th 1:23 AM

DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM (13 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia there!

And here is the second January album! The first one featured CUL, Yukari, Lily, IA, Oniko and Stella. The second one is with Lily, Yukari, MAYU, GUMI and Tei.

Here is the changelog:

Death Seeker (feat. MAYU)
[INSTRUMENT] Added bridge chords during choruses and before first chorus

SILVENA (feat. MAYU)
[EXTENSION] Extended end with modification

Arlena (feat. GUMI)
[PATCH] Corrected a case of abrupt end for first riser

What You Deserve (feat. Lily)
[INSTRUMENT] Added pluck during verse 1
[INSTRUMENT] Added bells during choruses and last intro part
[INSTRUMENT] Modified bells placement in outtro

Linda (feat. Lily)
[INSTRUMENT] Added impact before ending part and at middle of final intro part
[INSTRUMENT] Added second beats pattern in second part of final intro part

Asylum of Dreams (feat. GUMI)
[INSTRUMENT] Added crash roll and impact before last chorus and at middle of last chorus

MADALENA (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[INSTRUMENT] Bridge pattern now also plays during choruses

MAELISSA (feat. MAYU)
[MIXDOWN] Raised volume of gated pad
[MIXDOWN] Modified trance gate pattern
[PATCH] Added sweeps at intro to repair synchronization problem

Enemy Mine (feat. MAYU, Sukone Tei)
[PATCH] Fixed saturation of after-chorus parts (AS* program)
Same LIC code

* Anti-Saturation

I have 2 more songs to air this week. The first one will come this morning, it's "Aithnea" with IA. Why this morning and not at midnight? Even if I finished the song on Thursday (I was so much motivated for this one that I couldn't resist) I rathered letting some time for the album and then the song would come next, without having any penalty for any country. If I did it on the afternoon it would be aired on the 28th for Japanese people for example. Time differences really make this hard.

As for the MQube incident on last Sunday it's repaired. The thing that happened is that when I tried to upload the remix to MQube I got stuck with a server error (= MQube down) so I decided to upload it on Soundcloud until MQube gets online again. So now everything is back to normal.

Little dates to remember:

Later on this day: "Aithnea" (IA)
January 28th: one of the remaining demos to do for "Unseen"
February 5th, February 13th, February 14th, February 22nd: deadlines for songs of March album (Stella/Kiritan/kokone/Lily)

No cover on February, since the "Blood Error" remix replaced it. They will return in March.

Ah and Nyui will appear in the April album. She already has 2 scheduled songs on March 30th and April 5th, and I have an idea for one song for her. (ref to the post of the song "Unseen", with Yukari as vocals).

So enjoy this album and see you later in the morning (French time of course) for a song with IA!

DOWNLOAD THE ALBUM (12 TRACKS)

Hello, Nynthixia there.

I don't need to tell many things tonight. Most of the recent news are resumed right here, so don't hesitate to check it out.

This is the changelog for this album!

Emma (feat. CUL)
[EXTENSION] Added second bridge between second chorus and second verse
[INSTRUMENT] Changed beats manipulation
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX

This song has actually 2 demos: one for the blog (the very first one, the one you can really qualify as a demo), and one for YouTube (which is half-way between blog demo and album version). I just finished the modifications for the album version, and extended a bridge part, which I wanted to do for the album version only, even if I had this idea in my head since a long time ago.

Gaelle (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX

I only did this modification to make more clear that this song is the sister song of "Emma".

Calumnies (feat. Yuzuki Yukari, Lily)
[INSTRUMENT] Modified pattern sequence in bridges

The sequence pattern has 3 versions: one with the notes separated, another one with the notes being a bit more linked each other and the last one with a little addition touch. And that's this last one I added in the bridges for this version!

Psycho Liar (feat. Lily)
[INSTRUMENT] Coupled bells to the existant bridge pattern (M1)
[MIXDOWN] Enhanced volume of FM8 bells

Because I wanted to change the bells but I couldn't find anything else sounding good.

JOZEFINA (feat. CUL)
[INSTRUMENT] Added VFX
[INSTRUMENT] Added SFX at 2° chorus and 3° chorus

I hesitated to do it for the demo version, really. And I told myself, "nah, would be for the album".

Letha (feat. Hinomoto Oniko)
[INSTRUMENT] Added riser before each chorus and verse

This song was already great, but I just added some dynamics by adding the riser at some other strategic points. Enjoy!

Shining Shrine (feat. Hinomoto Oniko)
[INSTRUMENT] Added bells pattern during choruses

For this one, the change is very, very subtle, especially when the capella is on. But I assure you: yes, I added these bells!

So, next surprise. Remix on MQube. I really enjoyed doing this. I worked on it a big part of Thursday evening. And it turned out to be quite great. I hope you won't be disappointed.
Won't reveal the track name before tomorrow though... Let's keep up the fun until the end, OK?

Nynthixia

Hello, Nynthixia there.

This was actually online on the 2018 discography page since Sunday but I now announce it officially there, CD18.5 tracklist!

The album will be called "Unseen" and will contain 12 tracks (4 for Yukari, 4 for IA, 4 for Meiji and 4 for Ritsu). Only the demos of the second and tenth tracks are out for the moment. So here it is:

CD18.5 "Unseen" - AIR DATE: FEBRUARY 24TH

01. Unseen (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
02. Carene (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)
03. Altered Reality (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-)
04. Muriel (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-)
05. Aithnea (feat. IA -ROCKS-)
06. Lost Innocence (feat. IA -ROCKS-)
07. Threatening Thread (feat. Namine Ritsu)
08. Tara (feat. Namine Ritsu)
09. CARMINILLA (feat. Namine Ritsu)
10. Bloody Infection (feat. IA -ROCKS-)
11. Necessary Judgement (feat. Gahata Meiji -Lilith-)
12. DIMPHNE (feat. Yuzuki Yukari)

The scheduled songs are:
- "Unseen" for January 24th
- "Aithnea" for January 27th (yup, the same day as the album "Death Seeker")

All the others, "as soon as it's done".

Also for next week, I hesitated between using the fastest or the moderate pace for working on production. Normally I should go with the tightest one since all my week will be free... But because of my global fatigue, I think I have to reduce it to "between 3 and 6 songs a week" exceptionnally. I don't really want to force myself or else I know this will end badly. I'll still try to do 4 for next week, to advance a bit on the tracklist.

The week after this, back to the slowest pace, but maybe with 3 songs.

And for Lily, Kiritan, Stella and kokone?
No worries, they are for CD19. The demos may be produced at the same time as the ones of the CD18.5, especially for Stella's song (Feb 5th is the deadline). For reminder, deadlines:
- Feb 5th -> Stella
- Feb 13th -> Kiritan
- Feb 14th -> kokone
- Feb 22nd -> Lily

As for Nyui, she's not forgotten since she will have lots of tracks for March and April. I really enjoy working with her (especially vivid VB) so it's not today I'm going to stop!
After as for technical reasons... I just have to be at my own home to work with her. But same goes with Itako anyway.

Last thing. Remix on MQube on January 21st. And I can't fail this one. This replaces February cover (and of course on March I do the same as usual). I won't reveal the name of the song I'm going to remix until you see it though. Nobody has to see it.
Until the day...

Please enjoy
