Usage for Music
SeeU has both a Japanese and a Korean voicebank, allowing her to switch between the languages where needed. Her voice is light-hearted. She, however, is not one of the Vocaloids who have been announced that will have the Vocaloid 3 software packs with them.
Japanese
Her Japanese is unknown right now. Here are the earliest forms of using her voicebank to produce Japanese.
Korean
SeeU is able to pronounce any sound that can be written in modern hangul. Unlike previous English and Japanese Vocaloids, coding of SeeU's voicebank is only partially based on X-SAMPA, this is due to the fact that the Korean alphabet, hangul, already functions as a phonetical alphabet. Due to it being impossible to code with hangul font, her consonants are based on romanized hangul and her vowels are based on X-SAMPA. Reception of her Korean voicebank from fans have been widely mixed. Many comment that it is difficul
t to understand her vocals as they lack clarity and her pronunciation of words occasionally sounds awkward to native Koreans. Some comments regarding her pronunciation are that her ㄹ(r) sounds are too trilled and that she also sounds particularly "Japanese-like." Prior to her release fans had difficulty in predicting her overall tone. This was due to differences all 3 demos prior to her release date had prevented precise analysis of her vocals as each demo had different approaches and techniques on manipulating her voice.
