    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..

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

    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.
