    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.

    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.
