About the Software
Already available for pre-order on the AHS Store is the Synthesizer V Studio Pro. They describe it as a new-age voice synth software with a built-in hybrid engine featuring both intuitive and seamless handling, and voice synthesis technology that uses artificial intelligence to create human-like voices.
