REV

**REV** (レヴ) is a Japanese vocal for the DeepVocal engine created by VOCALO Revolution founder and ZAN-SHIN Co., Ltd. CEO HirotoP (ヒロトP) in collaboration with Yuma (ユウマ), Kemonone Rou's developer, and ATSUYA

## History

REV was an original character unveiled on the VOCALO Revolution official website in May 2011 and was intended to be a male counterpart to the VOCALOID3 vocal CUL. He is described to be about 18 years old  and similar to how CUL used the voice of VY1 in music videos, REV was meant to use VY2's voicebank. A 3D model for MikuMikuDance by Kio was also released soon after his introduction..

In September 2020, it was revealed on Twitter by Hiroto-P REV was planned to become a VOCALOID like CUL, however, progress on the project fell through. On May 14, 2021, the REV reboot plan was announced. REV received a speech library for the AI text-to-speech synthesizer TALQu on May 23 and a beta singing library for the DeepVocal singing synthesizer on May 24.. He is voiced by Hiroto-P himself and a commercial voicebank using a proper voice actor or singer is being considered based on his popularity.
