Talk:Synthesizer V

Twitter sources

I wish the person who wrote this had a proper account..! I'd love to talk with them! Anyways, a lot of the Twitter links seem to be for the release dates of vocals, so I'm going to take a look at some point to try and clean that up.

I'll also check to see how best to reference the artists for character designers - those are pixiv and weibo links, but like.. they might have to be if artists don't have portfolios.. CTK-230 (talk) 07:49, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Yep, there was too many of twitter links in the citations. Considering Synth V becoming popular after getting Kasane Teto voice bank for it, it kinda sad that there are no proper Wikipedia article for Synth V.

I think the best current actions is to remove all of twitter citations for now. - Ivan530 (Talk) 06:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Link dump

Unfortunately after quick google search there is not that many non first party English source in the first place. Here is what I found so far:

• https://www.siliconera.com/kasane-teto-synthesizer-v-vocaloid-voice-arrives-in-april/
• https://www.gearnews.com/synthesizer-v-studio-second-generation-synthesized-vocals-from-dreamtonics/
• https://mixdownmag.com.au/reviews/review-dreamtonics-synthesiser-v-studio-pro/

Edit, found some more:

• https://www.vocaloidnews.net/synthesizer-v-production-release-available-now/
• https://www.vocaloidnews.net/vnn-interview-kanru-hua-synthesizer-v/

Will update this list when I found more. - Ivan530 (Talk) 13:49, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

yeah, it's definitely tricky - I'm super new to Wikipedia but I don't know if better sources than twitter exist for so much vocal synth stuff - a lot of the companies involved don't make blog posts, and some barely update their own websites.. CTK-230 (talk) 09:06, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Agreed in your conundrum, most of the marketing exists purely on Twitter or bilibili! Although there are Japanese and Mandarin language articles for the program, so lifting resources from here may prove useful... The Mandarin page seems especially thorough.

Recent reliable(?) sources, mostly about SVS2

• Dreamtonics unveils AI vocal synth, Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro via Broadcast
• “I want to shout from a mountain top about this incredible technology”: Is Dreamtronic's Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro really the first artificial vocalist to finally nail the fake factor? via MusicRadar

I have high hopes for the first one being reliable, as it has a proper Wikipedia article. Susko3 (talk) 23:17, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Beijing photek and Quadimension are the same entity

Quadimension is the "common name", used in branding and marketing. It was originally a doujin circle and was incorporated as Beijing Photek Ltd. Using two different names may cause confusion to readers? I suggest updating all instances of Quadimension to say Beijing Photek Ltd, since the voicebanks created by it are credited as such within the software license. Zefferinn (talk) 03:23, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

No. Quadimension is a doujin group under Beijing Photek S&T Development CO., Ltd.. 西城東路 (talk) 04:05, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

You're correct, and I mentioned this as well although slightly innacurately. I'm aware they're technically different entities, but the issue I'm looking to resolve is the mismatch of documentation of which entity developed which voicebank. In the previous version, there was a comprehensive list of every voicebank and their development team, and some voicebanks (to my memory, Minus Std was listed like this) were written as "developed by Quadimension" while others were "developed by Beijing Photek S&T". In official Synthesizer V documents and in the editor, all voicebanks under the Quadimension circle are listed with Beijing Photek as a developer.

In general though, I'm glad the list was removed because a comprehensive list of every voicebank would be beyond the scope of this article in my opinion. As time goes on, it'd be far too bloated to be worth mantaining. Zefferinn (talk) 19:58, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Better than the Draft

For me the new article are lot better than the Draft:Synthesizer_V. I'm moving the Talk page (and only the Talk page) since there is lots of link in the discussion that looks notable enough for me, but not yet incorporated into the articles or the draft.

As for the draft it self, I think it looks unsalvageable. Some part could be moved here, but not much. I'll probably wait for few weeks before changing that to just redirect. - Ivan530 (Talk) 11:08, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Summaries for SVS1 versus SV2

Perhaps we could pull from the Vocaloid article's manner of writing about the different program generations to distinguish SynthV R1, SV1 (and the Studio / Basic distinction) and SV2 more understandably? It's arguably named much more confusingly than Vocaloid generations, but it'd be better than what we have now...
