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.

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