We regularly see new features, which are certainly interesting.
We also see new voices. That’s great.
But is there a way to know if new languages are planned, in addition to Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and Spanish, so that we can use all voices via Cross-lingual in new languages ?
Could a tentative schedule (even vague) be provided?
I think you will just have to keep looking for any potential update, and the announcement could be on a third-party website!

In a future version of Synthesizer V Studio, Spanish will be available as a supported singing language for the first time. The research & development for Spanish has primarily been conducted by us here at Eclipsed Sounds with Dreamtonics’ guidance as we collaborated on the implementation.
To my knowlege Saros from Eclipsed Sounds is still the only voice bank that claims a Spanish ability so support may be thin for such languages.
Some users here have already pushed voice banks to ‘unsupported’ languages with clever use of available phoneme sets though, so if you are wanting something like, maybe, Latin or Hurrian you can still attempt it!
A Recenter View Button added to the piano roll that gives a shortcut to the nearest note/note group when all contents are outside of the display range.
Improvements to the visual design of the note group labels.
A delete button for unused Vocal Mode items added to the Parameter Panel’s drop down menu.
Yeah! I already pushed the software taking it where it was almost unthinkable to go… In addition to trying my hand deeply in “my” Italian, which I know well, I also dared in Czech, which I do not know at all, arriving even there at decent results, according to native speakers.
I can confirm that thanks to his magic with phonemes, Alessandro can do Czech better than me, a native Czech, in my song “Vampire” featured in Showroom. If I want an even better Czech with Asterian, it can be bypassed that I sing it and use Vocoflex to change my singing to Asterian with Asterian’s pattern. If I want to convert my vocals to midi via Synthesizer V Pro, I have four options to choose from - Auto, English, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese. I tried using Auto and English and I found that the text under the notes works best for me through conversion into midi over English. Alesandro redid this song so that the Asterian’s track was in Spanish and the Czech with his phonemes sounded perfect. Apparently he used some method for this through his Italian dictionaries or he did a real honest job and through the Spanish in the sheet music he translated into Czech note by note according to my singing that he had available. In this case, I will remain in his eternal debter for a job perfectly done. It would be good if Spanish was added to the four options that are available for converting to midi. When converting to midi, from a recording of my singing, I use through English and leave the notes where the Czech pronunciation is satisfactory and where not, so I create a fonem’s Spanish syllable for that note. The help is Alessandro’s way of working, which I have available in the SVP file.
