Anyone using Vocaloid2 Sweet Ann?

[davide37]

Vocaloid2 Sweet Ann has just been released by PowerFX. My previous experience with Vocaloid 1.0 Miriam was pretty unininspiring but I thought the realtime VSTi that Vocaloid2 offers was worth trying. Unfortunately, a brief session with Vocaloid2 suggests that it's unusable in Live (6.0.7 and 6.0.8b6) as it either makes the program hang or crashes it back to the desktop. Also the lyrics file has to be reloaded separately every time one uses the realtime VSTi in a Live set, which is far from ideal. And it's a real CPU hog, but that's only to be expected. Has anyone else tried it? I think I'm going back to the no longer supported Robocoder VSTi
