Why not try for yourself?

Yes, I listened and watched already to most or all of the video demos.
So far, I have not heard a simple vocal, untreated, that stands on its own.
I will try to create it once/if I purchase.

hi Musical Gym

maybe this one in the demos:
Ami Paris _ Phonem PPG contemporary vocals by JeanLucNest

even if it's french ?

that's untreated
words sang in melodies

thanks J_L; I will go hunt it up and listen again. Some vocal snippets I heard before were very realistic, but they seemed few and far between or only lasted a few bars and then drifted off into something else. Maybe my next step will be to read the manual so I can understand what's needed to achieve the results I hope we can produce with it.

Thank you Wolfgang. Those are some examples I remember from before, but I did not remember which video. That gives me some idea of the possibilities.
Sorry to belabor the subject; it's sometimes difficult to determine without hands-on 30-day demo version or similar demo offering.

I understood that Simon's cat caught a mouse. I've not had time to do anything other than verify that Phonem works on my machine. Looking forward to spending some time with it tomorrow.

I'm about equally as impressed with this as I am Vocaloid. Which is to say, not at all.

Thanks again J_L; I gave those a listen; some I remembered from before.
I don't yet grasp the functionality/methodology that make up the text/phoneme/syllable interaction.
I have a good grasp of those in tools like Cantor 2, vocaloid, virharmonic sop, realitone blue/ladies, etc. where you have a direct visual link between the notes/syllables/sound produced and/or phoneme editors, articulations modifiers, etc. But of course my next trip is to the manual.

not with phonem
save here, save there, then save the bank too
why do this?
Phonem is working with resources.
resources are: wavetables, TCS and utterance files.
its like working with samples in a sampler.
you can use the same resource in many presets and control them on the matrix page in many ways.

fair enough, i've got my head around it now, just not quite fully confident yet that everything will be saved as i left it when i close my daw

the DAW only saves the program (all you did on the second page...matrix etc), not the resources.
when you made changes on the first page, you see this blue LED lighting up.
when you want to keep that changes you have to save the resource in the context menu (right/top corner)
