Synthesizer V Studio 1.8.0 Final Update
Dreamtonics releases Synthesizer V Studio 1.8.0 following the successful launch of 1.8.0 beta.
Synthesizer V Studio 1.8.0 finalizes the beta released two weeks ago (see beta release notes). The 1.8.0 update ushers in a major evolution of the synthesis engine – high speed Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM) based singing synthesis technology.
