Outline
"IA will make sounds close to WAV because it was originally written with VOCALOIDEditor, and that's all. It was not told that there is a so-called 'nasal sound'. Because it is not suitable to have singing like sounds in quiet songs, and the character character has too many restrictions on the freedom of music, I did not dare to conduct intense EQ processing. In addition, the cross use of EQ and V3 Editor can eliminate hiss and output a very wide range of sounds. " ----- Cited to the publication of IA official development team twitter on January 27, 2012, with some omitted.
IA is a VOCALOID3 sound bank provided by Lia, who has sung many animation and game theme songs and is known as the "Voice of Crystal".
It is characterized by a high vocal range full of permeability and clear breath. It can better express its sense of speed in rock and rhythmic dance music. It is a virtual singer software that makes all kinds of sounds possible.
Due to the wide range, there are currently three schools: Lolita faction represented by Mafumafu, domineering lady faction represented by Kemu and "Special" sound line faction represented by Jin.
