CeVIO AI Tohoku Kiritan Announced
AI Kiritan for NEUTRINO has been making headlines ever since her release in February this year. Not satisfied with her just being a NEUTRINO bank though, AHS has now announced Tohoku Kiritan Song Voice for CeVIO AI from the CeVIO Project**! This means that on top of having voice banks for UTAU, VOICEROID, Voidol and NEUTRINO, Kiritan will now also become one of the first CeVIO AI banks!
CeVIO AI Tohoku Kiritan is scheduled for release in Winter 2020. She will be available at PC and electronics shops in Japan and online, as well as in downloadable form as well.
** The CeVIO Project is a joint project made up of Up Field, SACRA MUSIC, Techno-Speech Inc., V-Sync Co., Ltd., and Frontier Works, Inc.
According to Zunko’s official Twitter account, CeVIO AI Tohoku Kiritan will use the same sound source as her NEUTRINO counterpart. Furthermore, when CeVIO AI Kiritan is released, users of AI Kiritan for NEUTRINO will no longer be required to register for commercial use of her voice bank.
This is to prevent complication in cases in which both of Kiritan’s voice banks – CeVIO AI and NEUTRINO – are used. Therefore, to those who are thinking of purchasing the license to sell music using AI Kiritan for NEUTRINO, if you can hold off until this winter, then it’ll become free! This point was also backed up by NEUTRINO creator, SHACHI.
To further prevent complication, AHS themselves will be handling CeVIO AI Tohoku Kiritan’s selling and distribution. They will also reveal much more about her during the 161st AHS Official Livestream on October 30 at 8:00 PM (JST)! Find their YouTube channel here and tune in on the appointed day!
