This is interesting! It sounds great and the transitions seem smoother than normal ARPAsing- is this a modified reclist?
I could see this being an entry-level voicebank for professional music producers/an alternative to the Dreamtonics mascotless VBs. From the pro musicians I’ve spoken to, they all seem a bit turned off by the mascots.

It uses an original ARPAsing list called “LSE” (Lexical Simple English) that I plan on releasing alongside DB-SVS. As its name implies, it’s a word-based list that utilizes only single-syllable words from Ogden’s Simple English dictionary, and it’s made to be as easy to record as possible for a word-based list. That said, on a technical level, it’s a pretty ordinary ARPAsing reclist, and only uses standard ARPAsing phonemes, with additional add-on lists for [zh], [q], and [dx] as well.

The smooth transitions are mostly the result of the specific style of configuration, which I intend on making a guide for, and providing a toolkit with some executable Python scripts to make it easier. Part of it may also be the particular recording style used for DB-SVS too, since it was meant to be very consistent, and lacking a lot of the accent-specific quirks of typical American English that may often make synthesizing English more difficult.
