My think she sounds a lot of Maku Hachi, but still I'd love to buy her.....
and does anybody of you know, why Makune Hachi's voicebanks are not ANYMORE up for download? (I don't have any of her vbs damn ;;___;; )
because Misha voiced Ruby and they sound pretty similar?

I don't like the song choice for this, and she is still in beta, so I hope they'll fix those problems! ^^

hehe.... I think I have an idea for getting this Ruby out there when this is done. I like her sound so far. I want to hear more before anything.

This totally sounds like a VOCALOID that might start getting Engloids in professional use. Just starting, anyways.
Within the smaller UTAU and VOCALOID communities, though, we already have a lot of voicebanks that cover this voice type. Even so, how exciting. She's super clear.

I personally am really excited for Ruby! I probably won't get the chance to buy her myself (thanks college love ya), but I'm really interested in what people will be able to do with her.

I'll have to agree that there were parts in the sample that were pretty flat, but either way Ruby is extremely understandable and her voice type is something I've been wanting to see from an engloid for a while!

Syo confirmed on VO that the art below are concept doodles for Ruby's design. It's not set in stone that the artist (Natasha Allegri) will be her illustrator because they also have been working with at least one other artist, but I thought they were interesting.

I think I like the last one best for concept arts. The contrast between the dark skin and pastel really appeal to me, while the other two seem too bland in the sense that they feel too matchy-matchy. Why does it remind me of Steven Universe? Other than the gems part haha. It might be the pastels.

I can't wait for a final design!

Despite the feel I had toward the second I like it the most followed by third then by first~

(Though I wasn't expecting this kind of design when I heard her voice... However the dark skin fits her well~ )

I like the third one, because I think it matches her voice more than the other two

If you got rid of those braided pigtails of the one in the middle I think it'd be fine. Personally I don't like any of them. Too much pink ;P

@XJM Well, pink is technically a shade of red, and rubies are red after all. :P

Personally I like the middle best too. The hood on the first one feels awkward and, honestly, I'm kind of tired of the whole built-in-stereo trope. Yeah they're singing robots woop, although to be fair I don't think any Engloids have it? Either way, it felt a bit clunky to me.

I don't know why I'm putting so much thought into it when we don't even know if Natasha's going to be The Illustrator I JUST WANT HER BANK ASAP

Actually, I reckon her colour scheme should be more red imo. Pink's ok, but I always envisioned her as being a tomboy.

since she's going for Vocaloid4, does that mean she's going to receive additional voicebanks?
