According to her site, she would also be compatible with the VOCALOID Editor for Cubase NEO.
According to information given before her release, kokone had been in production in-house for 6 months (since July 2013). Originally, Internet Co., Ltd. planned to go with two separate databases - one for normal voice and another for voice, in a manner not different from that of Megpoid and her appends; however, switching vocals would prove to be difficult for producers as the tone of voice would be noticed once it switched. When VOCALOID entered the VOCALOID3 era, as V3 used morphing to connect voice-color changes of different pitches, Noboru Murakami thought about doing everything in one database and gave it a try. The only concern was the lack of control for changing between normal and falsetto, which was left to the VOCALOID engine to do; the combination of consonants and vowels for all 50 syllables had to be checked to ensure she still sounded natural at such change, until they ended up with a good feeling. Pitch bending was a technique used to raise the pitch to make the normal voice still sound unaltered (non-falsetto), and vice versa; specifically, when pronounced at around note A3 the voice would sound normal (with pitch bend bringing it close to F4), while when pronounced at around F4 it would sound falsetto.http://www.dtmstation.com/archives/51885529.html
