in terms of actual synthesisers. unless something drastic changes, vocaloid is always going to be the one people know/think of/associate with vocal synthesisers but there are so many especially recently which i think is really cool :) in terms of preference though... i really love utau despite it not being. as easy to use compared to vocaloid (and i really dont know much at all about cevio/synth v etc) & i really adore its engine noise... also respect to chipspeech because i both deeply respect what they have done and i have fond memories of following its release.

despite that! my fav voicebank is gumi LOL... i do adore her voice but id be lying if i wasnt very attached to her as a "character" too. i also obviously like miku for similar reasons... and also the sheer amount of stuff made with miku that i love. i also have soft spots for flower, SF-A2 miki, galaco and sonika. my fav utau are probably sekka yufu, hakaine maiko & defoko. in terms of others... i love one and acme iku too :3

also shoutout to the pocket miku because i think its sooooo cute and i want one LOL... just having a physical mini version of her vb though its understandably somewhat limited given its size is just. neat :) the physicality of it is probably my favourite part. i wanna watch someone plug that thing into 5 million pedals and just fuck it up. im sure you could do a similar thing with the software but. i like the cute little box what can i say!

small collection of my fav vocal synth artists/producers + fav songs and album. the image on the left will link to my fav album from each unless they dont have any.

utsu-p

chocolate girl	iamai
march 9th, 2000	an alien's "i love you"

my fav vocalo-p rn...! i got happypills on cd and its great :3 tbh i cant really choose a fav album rn because i tried to but then i just started listing them lol. chocolate girl is probably still my fav song of his i love it ^___^ and not related to the music but i love hansi's art on all his albums(if it wasnt obvious)

watashi no koko

kimi no youni	mousou date (live)
complex	giveme☆LOVE

it makes me really happy to see such an obsolete software still being used and enjoyed. theres more i could talk about the Actual music and lyrics etc etc but. what can i say. i love noise. (though its very much not all noise, later albums have less)

siinamota/powapowa-p

strobe last	a palette full of you

admittedly i dont listen to him As much as when i was younger but his music will always mean a lot to me(and no doubt many others). theres still songs i hear again and just feel like crying

hikkie-p

liberal pops	diary, diary, diary, blank
thirsty	residual fools

yaaaay more experimental vocaloid music♡ obviously not for everyone but i love it. probably the least accessible on this list LOL

sakizakisaki

behe-laino_hotza-bihotza	honey eater
let's sleep hand in hand	children in the land of aeon

sadly they dont have very many songs or an album and i wish they did but...! i really love whatever they have put out. i like their utau too :) theyve also done a cover of a watashinokoko song which i like

heres some more songs i like from artists i havent listened to enough to be super into but i still enjoy ^___^ i also have two playlists (one on spotify & one on youtube for everything else) that im always updating if anyone wants to listen
