Speech Practice (Hatsune Miku V4X & V2 comparison)
Музыка
This is a brief comparison between Hatsune Miku's original Vocaloid2 voicebank and her V4X Original voicebank. These are the only two voicebanks I can really compare right now, since I don't have her V2 Appends, nor V3 for that matter.
They definitely sound pretty close to eachother, but not exactly 100%. With the additional use of triphones and fixed vowel transitions that V4X has, you can definitely tell it's a lot smoother by comparison. And while the overall improvements are nice n' all, I will always love her V2 voicebank more.
IDK, I guess that kinda rough, slightly robotic sound of her's just stuck with me a lot throughout my time spent listening to Vocaloid.
Besides, none of these popular songs would even exist had Miku (or Rin, Len, and Luka for that matter!) never been released on V2.
Okay, I think I'm getting way to ahead of myself...I srsly need to chill out.
The VSQ used here is by Koya Matsuo.

Idk... Something about V2 really packs a punch and feels like home to me. V4 sounds really realistic and sometimes it's better to have robotic sounds.

Agreed. It’s nice to see Vocaloid taking a more realistic approach in recent years, but it feel pretty jarring at the same time. Just sorta feels like almost every producer these days are trying to copy Mitchie M or something, and it’s kinda already gone beyond that point since V4. Sometimes I think the overall “robotic” nature of the Cryptonloids’ V1 and V2 voicebanks suit their style a lot better. Would be nice if most Vocaloid editors came with an option to turn off triphones to make them sound closer to V2-era voicebanks.

Danieru Mega tuning is more of a layer onto the original voicebank underneath, so it does matter even if really well tuned. That’s why rin and len sound a bit different compared to now, because their v4 packages don’t come with a recreation of their vocaloid 2 main voices (instead they use v2 append power as a substitute) unlike miku v4x.

It seems like V2 miku had trouble with making clear consonants when it was just one isolated syllable. Also very breathy.
yeah v4x is much more clear, while V2 is more cute and robotic, and somewhat the pronunciations are different slightly
you know, people say miku has a super high voice, but i don't think it sounds that high. i guess maybe because i've heard it constantly for so many years, but she's nothing compared to una or rana.

They've always used the same recordings for V2/V3/V4. They just cleaned up and enhanced the samples for V4 to make it sound a little more closer to V2 Miku's tone, due to some complaints about her V3 voicebank sounding nothing like her. To be honest though, I couldn't really tell much of a difference between V2 and V3, voice-wise. She's always sounded pretty much the same to me no matter what version of Vocaloid she's been updated for. V3 English, on the other hand, sounded absolutely nothing like her though.

For those wondering, they're singing the Japanese alphabet. The alphabet is sectioned off in rows of different types of sounds. The first row is the "vowels", with a, e, u, e', o. And then rows of "consonants". Hard consonants, like those with hard C and K, sounds have a row, then consonants with the Sh sound, and so on.

V2 is way cuter, I can't explain why, but it's like the angelic essence of Miku I fell in love with in 2009.
Although the difference are pretty subtle,but this is what I can hear: V4x sounds sharper and clearer,while V2 sounds a bit softer,but still understandable due to software being less advanced in the past. V2 seems to hold the notes a bit in each syllable while V4x is able to cut it short without holding the notes too much. Finally,V4x sounds like an improvement while V2 is the usual Miku sound. Either way,I still like both of them since they are the same Miku after all.
Miku v2 had that artificial style that sounded soft at times and unique. V4 smoothed out all that and made it sound more cutsie, squeaky like.
i feel like the v4x is miku becoming more humanlike rather than robot

Wow, V4 has made some real improvements!
The beginning of V2's speech practice sounds like when that one kid with T-Mobile internet is glitching out during online school
they feel so innocent and cute! i luv it!
Can i just say i love both
I like how they're called V2 and V4x, because it just saying they're different versions, not that one is better than the other. I think they both sound good!
I don't know why but I unironically listen to this
I like the robottic voice a lot, glad im not the only way feeling that way, however i appreciate the technological advancements with 4 a lot
Every Miku is special to me, her voice just makes me emotional in general. I think the old Appends Soft and Dark are my favorites.
I like both
i mean i get the differences that each voice has, but what i want to focus on is MIKU'S MAJOR HAIR LOSS
Miku is the only one I have trouble understanding in a lot of songs, so the v4x is helpful for that, but I understand the “vintage” quality that everyone hears in v2.
i think both voicebanks are lovely but ooOUH the ART for the one on the right is so ,,, mmmmhhhh yyummy
I’m downloading V4X soon (or at least trying) so it’s nice to have a feel for the sound difference
Idk, but it feels refreshing 💜
the v4x is more natural than v2, they should have continued to the iconic v2 voicebank tone, but with more smooth word transitions
She's so cute 😭💙
This video sounds pretty peaceful, actually
best warm up i ever heard from miku!
2 sounds like the old creepy nostalgia and 4 sounds like your short 2021 youtube videos
V2 miku will always be my favourite, the first vocaloid I've ever heard when I was a very kid, she always makes me happy :,)
I'm not really into all that vocaloid stuff, but V2 sure does remind me of those days I used to listen to some of Miku's songs
OwO I like them!
two mikus, just singing together😳
i was waiting for their duet
So cute, love my robot girl, she’s come so far I’m so proud.

I love V2 but I'm gonna have to pick V4 on this one
I prefer the miku v2 because when sounding more robotic, She has the lower voice. It's not to complain about the v4 enhancement, I just like classic miku more... Even if I joined the fandom a year ago.
I prefer the V4x actually, sounds nice and smooth~
To me it sounds like V4x handles choppier stuff better while V2 has a certain something to it that really shines through on the more legato parts. Both sound good and are full of Miku charm though, and maybe I’m just biased from listening to VOCALOID2 Miku for so many years lol.
V2 has a solid voice🔥🔥
V3 Miku is the beautiful marriage of V2 and V4. The best miku
i love them both equally. i guess it just depends on the song
realistic v4 can be good for some songs but i think for the most part i prefer robotic v2. the robotic feel that her voice has and that many loids have, is what makes vocaloid so special to me.
