Tutorial How to Buy Synthesizer V Voicebanks without a Taobao Account feat. Stardust / 星尘 Infinity
73♤ !!Edit 13th April 2022!! The current error on ParcelUp (a messed up Color Classification) seems to already exist since almost 2 weeks, because that's - as much as I am aware - when it was for the first time mentioned ( https://forum.synthesizerv.com/t/topic/5462 ).
Until the situation changes, it might be necessary to find another Proxy-Team with willingness to buy digital products. Thus, I beg everyone who comes across such service to share that knowledge in both the comment-section and in the Synthesizer V Forum to help those who couldn't get their Voicebank(s) in time. :End of Edit: ♤
Here's the promised link to Taobao's mobile Synthesizer V Studio page: https://m.intl.taobao.com/detail/detail.html?id=622045467110
And while we're at it, the Taobao Agent this video is all about: https://parcelup.com/
Anyways, let's do the usual thing and write a little behind-the-scenes-text. o/
( :yawn: I swear I haven't slept enough in the last days, so if you see any grammar-mistakes worse than my regular standard, please ignore them. I was typing most of this stuff here last evening / night.)
So, uhm, yeah, what can I say? Stardust is finally a modern thing again. :happy happy happy:
》Of course I love her old Vocaloid-voicebank as much as I did before the AI was last year announced. You could also say, that I adore Xingchen as a child as much as I appreciate her as a young lady--- compare the two voicebanks; you should immediately get the comparison. To me, they are the same girl with just different ages, hence I keep the older variant in pure fondness instead of brutally replacing her.
Aaand not to forget to mention my darling Minus. Albeit I see her as a separate person aka as a twin of Stardust / Xingchen. (In her case, I'm at least not torn between the Chinese and English name, as everybody simply addresses her by the second part of her name.) Back to topic, she's the one I slightly prefer in this duo, though nostalgia-points aren't on her side.
》It's a lot like the case of Rune Factory Frontier's two Iris', when I mull a bit over the situation. While Iris Blanche spends more time with the player, Iris Noire is the one I happened to like a tad more, albeit both are my favorites. Which is exactly the same as with both SynthV-Stardusts.
( The RFF-comparison is an old thought in my head, actually. When I learned about SynthV as well as Minus, I wanted to have my Vocaloid-Stardust sing Iris' Spirit Song together with her. Unfortunately, I never found the spare-time for doing this cover. ^_^” )
As for the tutorial, it took me Monday plus Tuesday to get the Xingchen-sketch and 32 pages / cards including their texts done. I know the rushed creation of them is most likely noticeable, but my free-time is quite limited at the moment. Hence, I refused to slug around while my youngest project was something I REALLY want to release ASAP.
(To give you an idea, how much I had to organize my personal minutes... The stuff you can hear in this video represents the only moments I allowed myself to happily toy around with Infinity. In sad comparison, when I freshly got Minus, I made her sing practically ALL new VSQx-files I had laying around just to listen to her voice.)
