Re: Instrumentals??
I think there's a lot more demand for instrumentals than any other kind of music right now. You a hottie, dude! And of course they pay more for vocals. Quality costs. Heh.

Re: Instrumentals??
I heard Matto and Mazz were putting the finishing touches on "VV 2008" *.Then we'll all be on an even playing surface! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!* "VV 2008" = "Virtual Vocalist". It has 500 GByte samples of Hummingbird & Squids pre-loaded. You get basic vocals with the bundle, but you need to pay for an upgrade to get the ultra-realistic humour and compassion algorithyms.Personally, I doubt it will be as good as the real thing...but I've been wrong before!
Earplugs may be required for anyone over the age of cool.

Re: Instrumentals??
Those Vocaloids sound exactly like what you'd expect from something ending in "oid". Like a science experiment gone horribly wrong .They've gotten better since version 1, but it's still a far cry from Commander Data's exquisit violin playing...

Re: Instrumentals??
I'm sure there's something in the works for expansion packs as well. 5 Gbytes of new Hummingbird & Squids articulations. Loaded with tons of possible vocal combinations. Comes with an awesome FX plug-in designed especially to enhance the wonderful voicings of the 'Bird & the Squids. Sounds nice, huh ladies?I-468
