It has been causing a buzz since its release in October 2016. If you use the included user dictionary, he will sing in American English. Otherwise, he will sing in British English. Vocaloid in English is a singing voice synthesizer. Its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in 2000 (the same team that later founded Voctro Labs) and originally was not intended to be a full commercial project.
