    Comments about UTAU as an Alternative to VOCALOID
    Comment summary: UTAU is praised for being a free alternative to VOCALOID, with users highlighting its vast selection of voices and ease of use once familiarity with vocal synths is established. Although some users mention that UTAU requires Japanese keyboard settings and lacks English voice capability, others appreciate the variety of voices and the ability to create custom voicebanks. There are, however, occasional technical issues related to sound playback and character display.

    Very easy to just put in notes and lyrics, the arpasing vocabulary is easy to understand. And it's new! I hope more voicebanks will become available, though..

    Honestly just kinda bad, it doesn't have some important and needed features for a vocal-synth, and the creators of it are rude to the more anime side of the vocal-synth community, which is absurd considering thats like 99% of the community lmfao.

    Cadencii is able to synthesize, its just somewhat difficult to use, but yes, it can synthesize, that's literally exactly what its made for. its not just an importer.

    Voice synthesis in Sinsy is just as easy as in Vocaloid, despite having to create MusicXML file with MuseScore (which is also FOSS)
