Gachapoid was the only VOCALOID of the VOCALOID2 engine with additional vocal software support. Gachapoid had access to the VOCALOID-flex engine and was used in conjunction with the software "VTalk". This allowed Gachapoid to be used in new ways, opening new methods of delicate editing to alter his vocal results.
