    Very easy to just put in notes and lyrics, the arpasing vocabulary is easy to understand. And it's new! I hope more voicebanks will become available, though..

    From my experience, editing and figuring stuff out is easier in open utau, it's realy good for begginers. The ability to use different renderers is also cool. Its also easy to use in english, and to make songs in english

    We're building a Text-to-Voice engine that can sing and speak expressively. We're giving music producers access to the only virtual instrument they lack: the human voice.

    Extremely good documentation for anyone just starting out. Easy to download and install, and super simple.

    Honestly just kinda bad, it doesn't have some important and needed features for a vocal-synth, and the creators of it are rude to the more anime side of the vocal-synth community, which is absurd considering thats like 99% of the community lmfao.

    Not written in the description that it can synthetise vocal, just it's compatible with Vocaloid voice banks.

    Cadencii is able to synthesize, its just somewhat difficult to use, but yes, it can synthesize, that's literally exactly what its made for. its not just an importer.

    Alter/Ego is based on the award winning technology featured in chipspeech but instead of targeting Vintage voice technology, it focuses on more ‘modern’ (1990+) singing synthesis algorithms and research.
