Dug up an old song I started several years ago and finished it up using #Voisona #Chis-A. #SynthesizerV Eleanor Forte provides harmony.

I finished up the song I used for testing #Voisona #Chis-A EN. Added a second verse, a bridge, and harmonies using #SynthesizerV #TsurumakiMaki. I really, really love the sound of Chis-A's voice.

Quick testing with #Voisona with the new #Chis-A EN voicebank (now free). I'd say it sits in between Vocaloid 6 AI and Synthesizer V.

I didn't realize that #Voisona had released another English voice for their Talk platform. I already have Maki for this. #Soyogi Soyogi has much better English than Maki. In the back of my mind, I would like to make more tutorial/walkthroughs of #SynthesizerV, and it just feels right to have a Japanese speaker doing it, lol.

I just got this email from #VoiSona
Dear VoiSona users,
Thank you for your continued patronage of "VoiSona."
In order to make VoiSona more widely available both domestically and internationally,
We have decided to make the English song voice library "Chis-A [tʃíːseɪ]" (supports cross-lingual singing in Japanese, English, and Chinese) completely free of charge from April 24, 2026.
#juce has just added a patch that defaults to software rendering when plugins are running in #wine ending the direct2d black window issue. hopefully this fixes #synthv2 and #voisona when running under linux.

I’m not qualified to do this implementation in Wine myself, but I think what I can contribute is a minimal example, with source code, to help Wine devs. I’m looking to learn enough JUCE to make this possible. The community’s workarounds tend to involve trying to force software/OpenGL rendering, so a minimal example that reproduces this behavior should not force or fallback to software rendering. If I’m creating a Hello World JUCE8 application, would I have to do anything specific to use Direct2...
