    Depending on the voicebank, you can get really good results.

    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)
