===Development===

It was first stated by Voctro Labs that they share the same voice provider.http://www.voctro-vocaloid.com/en/archives/871 In 2014, Giuseppe revealed that both MAIKA and ONA are the same VOCALOID3 library. While MAIKA represents the Spanish usage of the vocals, ONA represents the Catalan one.https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=439410512871104&id=214511861903938&comment_id=2120313&offset=0&total_comments=14¬if_t=share_reply On May 5, 2014, Voctro Labs explicitly confirmed ONA and MAIKA's status as two designs for the same voicebank.
