#LUKA MEGURINE AGE SOFTWARE#
On May 1, the site updated to reveal the package now in 3rd place behind Hatsune Miku V3.Īccording to KEI, who was asked to illustrate her by Crypton, due to her bilingual software her design was made to be asymmetrical, so from different angles she would look different. Soon after the V4x package release, she grabbed the Crypton top sales rankings and remained there for April 2015. In March 2015, the Megurine Luka V4x package got the no.1 spot for the sales of all digital instruments on Big Fish Audio. By mid-2014, both she and the Vocaloid 2 Kagamine Rin\Len package no longer held constant places in the rankings and were constantly on and off Crypton Future Media sales charts. However, Vocaloid 2 vocals were mostly absent from the rankings in April 2014.
#LUKA MEGURINE AGE SERIES#
After the MEIKO V3 release, Luka became the only member of the Vocaloid 2 Character Vocal Series vocals to have a product on the charts, leaving her in 5th place. After the charts began to settle down again, Luka began to occupy the same spot on the charts that the Vocaloid 1 KAITO package previously occupied (6th-8th place), putting the popularity of the product on par with the older product.
Luka had already fallen to 6th place during the 2013 period as a result of the KAITO V3 release, but this was the first time Luka had disappeared from the charts. In October 2013, Luka's Vocaloid 2 software disappeared off the top 10 products charts as the Hatsune Miku V3 and its bundle package disrupted the chart rankings. In 2010, Luka was ranked as the 3rd most popular Vocaloid product Crypton has sold. All 4 Japanese vocals could use the new "Cross-Synthesis" ("XSY") system for Vocaloid4 together, while the 2 English ones could be cross-synthesized also with each other.ĭespite the inclusion of English, Megurine Luka was not aimed at a worldwide audience, instead focused primarily at Japanese producers. The EVEC "Colours" for Luka are "Power 1", "Power 2", "Native", "Whisper", "Dark", "Husky", "Soft", "Falsetto" and "Cute".
Japanese vocals "HARD EVEC" and "Soft EVEC" utilized the new "E.V.E.C." (Enhanced Voice Expression Control) system for Piapro studio allowed delicate adjustments of phonetic sounds to change how a sound played.
The Japanese vocals were "Hard", "Soft", "Hard EVEC" and "Soft EVEC" while the English vocals were titled "Straight" and "Soft". On March 19, 2015, a new version of Luka developed for Vocaloid 4, called Megurine Luka V4X, was released containing a package of 6 vocals - 4 for Japanese and 2 for English. During the brief period her V3 website was up, the listed vocals being created for her were Japanese/Power/Soft/Cute/Whisper/Closed/English.
#LUKA MEGURINE AGE UPDATE#
Once again the Vocaloid 3 update did not occur. The vocals were announced to have been dropped in favor of Vocaloid 3 productions on December 1, 2011. The promotional album Vocalo Append used a beta of Luka's "Soft" Append. She originally was going to receive an update called "Megurine Luka Append" developed for Vocaloid 2.Luka's Append vocal was used on the album Vocaloid Minzoku Chō Kyokushū ( VOCALOID民族調曲集) for the song "Hoshizora to Yuki no Butōkai (Zeal mix)".
Megurine Luka was the first Vocaloid designed to fully support producing vocals in both Japanese and English, and the first addition to the Character Vocal Series software line characterized as an adult. Her voice was created by taking vocal samples from voice actress Yū Asakawa at a controlled pitch and tone. Luka was developed by Crypton Future Media using Yamaha's Vocaloid 2.
