===Kagamine Rin/Len V4X: 2014===
In January 2014, Wat revealed that due to the change in wavelength for VOCALOID3, he was re-evaluating ACT1 and "POWER" Rin and Len.Talking about Act1 and Power Wat said that the early Rin voice had a strong feeling to it.Rin Act1 being brought back out into light He also said that the situation with MEIKO V3 "Power" was similar with the Kagamine Act1 package. MEIKO's "Power" vocal was recorded in 2009 and did not produce good results on the VOCALOID2 engine, so the decision was made to delay it until the VOCALOID3 engine. However, it was brought out again in 2013. Based on this, Wat mentioned it may be possible to also bring Act1 back.Wat talks about Power's history
After finishing the recording for the new Rin vocals, Wat felt that the shift to V3 proved to be a good one, especially for the "Power" Append.Talking about Rin Wat thought that the Kagamines needed adjusting to give them a bigger vocal range.https://twitter.com/vocaloid_cv_cfm/status/421604826712006656 After working on the voices for a week, Wat decided that it was time to return to working on Megurine Luka V3.https://twitter.com/vocaloid_cv_cfm/status/422338749687541760 According to him, Rin's power and stretch notes are her strength.
