Judging from the video, we have a "straight" English bank and a soft one. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! And she sounds pretty good too!

Since I don't see a list here and it's pretty public knowledge to the best of my memory Luka V4X is receiving the following banks:
ENGLISH: Straight, Soft.
JAPANESE: Hard, Soft.
EVEC JAPANESE (Used by phoneme extensions from either Hard/Soft e.g. [a | a2] I think): Power 1, Power 2, Soft, Whisper, Native, Husky, Cute, Dark and Falsetto.
Yes, Luka has something like 13 banks when you total it up, but you have to access the EVEC ones manually and they aren't full banks (just vowels and breaths (not sure on the breaths part))

It's kinda like, [k a|a2] I think, but I don't remember :'D It's something like that and requires phoneme editing to work.

Apparently people believe Luka's bank sounds glitchy (see: vo) ... but it could be just because of EVEC, right...?

Yup! The EVEC is a little bit glitchy. I believe the EVEC settings are just recorded vowels that are then attached to the main voicebank. I noticed this kind of glitch when using her Soft EVEC. But the most horrible part is trying to give her the same volume over the entire song when using EVEC... That is pain!

I see. A friend of mine linked me to a SoundCloud file with Luka's... Hard bank, I think? It sounded super glitchy and I was actually a bit disappointed... (I mean, no V4 voicebank should have such glitches, right...?) Now that I know it was probably just the EVEC my hope in Crypton and a decent Len English has been restored.

After I analyzed a little bit the EVEC. When you use the EVEC(color and release), the note is cut in 3 parts. You canțt see it, but if you hover over the note, some lines appear. for the EVEC, it separates the consonant from the vowel and the vowel chages to somethong like this: i|i#5(for Power 1). For release is the same thing. At the end appeares a small invizible note which contains *#2 for long breath. If you make "mi" with EVEC Power 1 and long breath, it will look like this : m' i|i#5|*#2. I don't think this will work in Vocaloid4 main software(PC got wreked-only has installed Luka with Piapro), but I hope Crypton will try(me hoping in vain) that EVEC will work in Vocaloid 4 main software.

In case anyone else wants to use the trial and can't get Studio One to load Piapro Studio, chickadee on VO recommended this VST host. It works like a dream and it took me no more than two minutes to get running.
