## History

On February 27, 2023, Dreamtonics posted a poem on bilibili along with an announcement that new songs and other news were expected for February 28 at 17:00 GMT+8. Details were not specified but the first part of the poem seemed to describe the beauty of song and pronunciation in music across any language. The second part described the role of melodies and pitches in music, emphasizing the importance of rhythm. On February 28, a technical demo announcing the future support for the Cantonese dialect and rap was uploaded, showing a new male AI voice database singing in the new supported language respectively. The new male vocal was confirmed to be entirely trained on Cantonese songs and was noted to be the first Cantonese voice library in the history of commercial singing voice synthesis software. On March 15, after receiving feedback in improving the song to be more in line with Cantonese songwriting habits, Dreamtonics replaced the bilibili version of the debut video, which implemented corrections made to the male vocal's and Feng Yi's demos. On September 26, Dreamtonics announced that they would be showcasing a "soon-to-be-released" dedicated Cantonese Chinese AI voice database at the Music China event in Shanghai, which ran from October 11 to 14. This vocal was noted to have outstanding mixed Mandarin and Cantonese singing with proficient and smooth Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis across the four available languages for Synthesizer V Studio. It was unknown if this voice database was the same one shown in February or if it was a new vocalist.

On October 3, 2023, Dreamtonics Co., Ltd. posted a thread on Twitter announcing four new voice databases in development for Synthesizer V Studio that were to be "coming up", providing no information apart from teasers. The last of four voice databases to be teased with a demo song within the thread was Wei Shu, described as a "Cantonese male voice with a soft, whispery, slightly nasal voice ideal for the low to middle range" as well as "a powerful sound that maintains softness" in the middle to high range, suitable "for ballads and high-tempo electro-pop tunes" like the linked demo song "Kissing Someone Next".

Wei Shu was released on October 26, 2023.

### Updates

Wei Shu AI v101b1 - December 18, 2023
A free update for Wei Shu was released following the Synthesizer V Studio 1.11.0b2 update. This implemented support for the Spanish language in the Cross-Lingual Singing Synthesis feature.

Certain users were invited to create songs using earlier versions of the voice database and release the songs in sequence after the product's release as a complement to official demo tracks. It should also be noted that certain songs may not be involved with the early invitation and were added based on the company's preference. Only songs that feature Wei Shu as a main vocalist would be added to this demo table.
