## History

### 2021

ANRI was recorded in June 2021 after kurapichu's contractual obligations with other companies ended.

On October 16, AUDIOLOGIE Co., Ltd. showcased their first English Synthesizer V AI voice database, ANRI, to the public. ANRI made her debut with her first original song "PROGRAMMED 2 LOVE", and information about her character was made available on AUDIOLOGIE's website. She was illustrated by hieihirai and her concepts were designed by 7Mora. Her voice provider was revealed to be kurapichu.

ANRI was confirmed to be made available as digital and limited physical copies with an expected release date of December 11. The physical copies also came with a variety of merchandise: an acrylic stand, a metal can badge, a secret acrylic charm, and a rubber strap. VOLOR also announced that bundle packs for ANRI, which included her with the Synthesizer V Studio Pro editor and/or Eleanor Forte AI, as well as add-ons to existing Eleanor AI pre-orders, were made available through ANiCUTE. Lite versions were confirmed to release on December 18.

Regarding further voice databases for ANRI, AUDIOLOGIE confirmed that there were no plans for a Standard version, but they planned to make more databases for her in the future with no indication of what these could be. On October 24, it was confirmed that AUDIOLOGIE opened a Taobao shop which supplied ANRI's digital copies.

On November 27, ANRI's demos began featuring her in Synthesizer V Studio Generation 4. As she was initially introduced within Generation 3, this resulted in some differences in her voice database's performances between the versions.

At least a week before release, users began to receive their pre-ordered physical copies. As noted in the product's description, the activation codes were not to be delivered until the day of ANRI's release, rendering these copies unusable until then. She released on December 11 as intended. On the same day, it was announced that the Taobao store was temporarily closed for maintenance after the pre-order period ended. ANRI's Lite version was released on AUDIOLOGIE's website on December 18. Due to a large volume of checkouts of the Lite version, the distribution server was overwhelmed. The download link was temporarily replaced until this problem could be fixed.

On May 25, 2022, when asked if ANRI would be compatible with Synthesizer V Studio 1.6.0's Vocal Mode function, AUDIOLOGIE replied that they were currently processing the update. On May 29, ANRI was confirmed to receive four Vocal Modes with hints of the names seeming to be present in the image posted: Emotive, Charm, Chill, and Light.

On July 21, ANRI was one of the AI voice databases to receive an update for HDVM compatibility (a feature introduced in Synthesizer V Studio Pro 1.7.0, also released the same day). This update also implemented her Vocal Modes.. However, some users complained about unstable voice-quality results when re-rendering in 1.7.0 projects saved under earlier versions of the editor that made use of her voice database (after updating it to v105). On July 22, Dreamtonics explained that by default, the AI Retakes feature favors "rich timbre and expressions over smooth and stable vocalization", resulting in inconsistent behavior relative to previous versions; as a workaround to stabilize the voice output, they offered these steps below:

* Empty the selection.
* Open AI Retakes panel, go to Timbre tab.
* Under Takes -> Global Settings, reduce Expressiveness.

Responding to requests from users, Dreamtonics made available for download that same day rolled-back versions of ANRI (as well as other affected AI voice databases) by logging in to their store download website.

### 2022

According to the Staff Intro page launched in December 2022, ANRI's concept derived from Memu's belief that there was a lack of synthetic singer options that fit the genres catered to independent musicians, especially for English vocals. AUDIOLOGIE was aware that there was a community of people similar to them, so ANRI was built to bring more variety to the industry.

### 2023

On April 1, 2023, AUDIOLOGIE's second upcoming vocal, JUN, had a demo featuring his "Tsubaki" Vocal Mode. This Vocal Mode was noted to have data that was designed specifically to improve Japanese Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis. ANRI was confirmed to receive a similar update in the future. On April 18, in response to a fan, AUDIOLOGIE confirmed that there would be a special collector's edition of ANRI and JUN's duet pack, which was expected to be distributed at a discounted price and would have a brand new cover illustration by Allenkung1.

On June 14 a special "ANRI & JUN Special Duet Edition Box" was released in commemoration of ANRI's 2nd birthday celebration. The hardcover box features a plastic postcard of ANRI's birthday illustration featuring open slots for ANRI and JUN's digital activation code. It was noted that the box does not contain ANRI or JUN's software and is an add-on merchandise box with an activation code holder intended to be paired with digital purchases or previous physical DVD purchases The bundle includes two clear acrylic standees and an acrylic PVC postcard (activation code holder) featuring ANRI and JUN with an illustration by Allenkung1 and "K.".

On July 2, at Anime Expo, ANRI's previously mentioned update was reconfirmed and was planned for release in the second half of 2023. Regarding the improvement to her Japanese Cross-lingual Synthesis, it was confirmed that she would receive additional data and multi-tone Vocal Modes. This update was noted to have been in development alongside JUN's production. The update would be free to users who have purchased ANRI.

On October 25, AUDIOLOGIE announced that after December 5, ANRI's original debut voice database would be delisted from their store, effectively discontinuing her in favor of ANRI Arcane, which was said to be released for regular customers on December 11. When asked about the Lite version of ANRI's original voice database, AUDIOLOGIE confirmed that it would remain available even after the full voice database is delisted.

### Retirement

ANRI's debut Synthesizer V Studio voice database was officially delisted from the AUDIOLOGIE store as of December 5, 2023, marking her official discontinuation, in preparation for the release of ANRI Arcane and leaving only the Lite edition of ANRI available for digital download. It was noted that customers who purchased ANRI's debut voice database before December 5, 2023 will have until June 11, 2024 to redeem their code to receive a free digital download code of ANRI Arcane. A consideration to release ANRI's debut voice database alongside ANRI Arcane as a special collector's edition bundle is currently in consideration for the future provided that there is enough user interest.

### Updates

#### Full Version

ANRI AI v101 - December 11, 2021
A same-day free update for ANRI that was quietly released to users who bought the full voice database. No details were published regarding any changes.

ANRI AI v103 - December 23, 2021
A free update for ANRI was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.5.0 update. This enables her to support cross-lingual singing synthesis.

ANRI AI v104 - January 10, 2022
A free update for ANRI that was silently released; no details were provided regarding any changes until February 16. It updated ANRI's Terms of Service on commercial use: "All voice databases sold by AUDIOLOGIE are free for commercial usage, but commercial use of character image likeness requires" AUDIOLOGIE's permission.

ANRI AI v105 - July 21, 2022
A free update for ANRI was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.7.0 update. This enables her to use the new High Dynamics Voice Models and AI Retakes features, as well as implementing her previously revealed Vocal Modes: Emotive, Charm, Chill, and Light.

ANRI AI v107b1 - November 10, 2022
A free update for ANRI was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.8.0b1 update. This enables her to use the new Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM) feature.

ANRI AI v107 - November 24, 2022
Final version update compatible for Synthesizer V Studio 1.8.0 and enables ANRI to use the new Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM) feature if the beta version was not installed previously. This update also improved on ANRI's clarity and naturalness, especially for her Vocal Modes.

ANRI AI v108 - May 2023
An update announced via AUDIOLOGIE Co., Ltd. email response that is planned to make corrections to ANRI's functionality within Synthesizer V Studio's "Instant Mode" feature.

ANRI AI v108b1 - June 21, 2023
A free update for ANRI was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.9.0 update. This implemented the new rap feature available for the English and Mandarin languages. Cantonese Chinese was added to the Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis feature as well as general improvements to the overall function, resulting in more accurate pronunciation that sounds closer to a native speaker when singing foreign words.

ANRI AI v108 - July 6, 2023
Final version update compatible for Synthesizer V Studio 1.9.0 and enables ANRI to use the rap feature (English and Mandarin Chinese only) and allow for Cantonese Chinese Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis if the beta versions were not installed previously. This update also improved ANRI's stability in her high pitch.

ANRI AI v109b1 - August 2, 2023 A free update for ANRI was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.10.0b1 update. This enhanced pitch generation by utilizing Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), translating to fewer off-key errors, making better use of vibrato, and creating more expressive transitions between notes. This also allowed for the use of the new "Enhancement" slider in the AI Retakes panel, which controlled the level of changes introduced by RLHF. For Synthesizer V Studio Pro users, feedback submission was enabled, allowing users to consensually share their preferred takes with only Dreamtonics for research and development purposes, where models trained with this feedback would be deployed in future voice database updates. Users may also opt out of this feature if undesired.

ANRI AI v109b2 - September 28, 2023 A free update for ANRI was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.10.0b2 update, which was the second beta version following version 1.10.0b1 that introduced enhancements to voice databases and integrated the latest user feedback via Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Regarding the editor, numerous reported issues were addressed for a more fluid experience. A new generation of pitch models were trained using the extensive feedback from users over the past month, and the new models offered greater accuracy in voice timbre reproduction, as well as a reduction in mispronunciations. Dreamtonics also focused on issues from the previous beta release that made Vocal Modes seem less distinct on certain vocals, ensuring clearer differentiation in the 1.10.0b2 update. The latest update also introduced a new feature in the Note Properties Panel that allowed for even division of a note into multiple syllables, proving to be a useful tool for songs with faster tempos.

ANRI AI v109 - October 19, 2023 Final version update compatible for Synthesizer V Studio 1.10.0 and enables ANRI to use Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) as well as other enhancements (as listed in v109b1 and v109b2's notes) if the beta version was not installed previously.

## Voice Database Information

### Voice Databases

Product Information
**Optimum**

  **Genre:** R&B, Hip-Hop, House, Pop, Future Bass  **Tempo:** 90 ~ 140 BPM  **Range:** G2 ~ F4
**Versions**

  **Lite Version/FLT Available?:** Yes (Lite)  **Starter Pack Available?:** Retired  **Web Version Available?:** No
**Package details** as noted:

ANRI is a feminine English voice database based on the singing style of the CV kurapichu. According to AUDIOLOGIE, her voice is described to have a "feathery tone with a sweet high pitch that floats distinctly above the beat". As expected of an AI voice database, ANRI is capable of singing with a more human-like and realistic voice.

Included with ANRI are:

* SVP (tuned and untuned) files, lyrics, and instrumentals for the "PROGRAMMED 2 LOVE" demo.
* Two wallpapers by Hieihirai and Tonowa
* Reference sheet by 7mora and Hieihirai
* Transparent character standing art by Hieihirai

**Vocal traits** as noted:

* According to the Staff Intro launched in December 2022, ANRI's voice was designed to have a unique, dream-like voice.
* As per the Synthesizer V Studio 1.7.0 update launched on July 21, 2022, through High Dynamics Voice Models (HDVM), which later migrated to Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM) per the 1.8.0b1 update on November 10, AI voice databases may use AI Retakes to create multiple "takes" of a sung section with variations in pitch, dynamics, and timbre. This replicates the randomness of human vocalists, adding a more realistic feel, and allows users to find an ideal vocal without the need for "laborious tuning." This feature is only available in the Synthesizer V Studio Pro Editor.
	+ This does not apply to the Lite version.

**Phonetic notes** as noted:

* Phoneme format: ARPABET
* On December 23, 2021, with the announcement of Synthesizer V Studio 1.5.0, all AI voice databases would be able to use cross-lingual singing synthesis. This allows ANRI to be able to sing in not only English but also in Japanese and Mandarin Chinese using this new feature. Since the release of her v108b1 update on June 21, 2023, she can also sing in Cantonese Chinese with this feature; since her v111b1 update on December 18, she can also sing in Spanish with this feature. Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis is only available in the Synthesizer V Studio Pro Editor.
	+ This does not apply to the Lite version, thus restricting the voice database to English only.

**Vocal Modes** as noted (Synthesizer V Studio Pro Editor only):

* As of July 21, 2022, the paid version of ANRI became compatible with the Vocal Mode function introduced in Synthesizer V Studio 1.6.0. Her v105 update included four variations:
	+ "**Chill**": Brings a dark and breathy tone to ANRI's mid to low registers. Pronunciation is the most relaxed and laidback in this Vocal Mode. Intended for downtempo music and recommended genres included Chillhop, Lofi, and Dark Pop.
	+ "**Light**": A solid and mellow type of voice.
	+ "**Charm**": Upbeat with a slight nasally yet strong tone.
	+ "**Emotive**": AUDIOLOGIE notes this as "rhythmic in cadence and expressive".
