A voice bank for Plogue Alter/Ego created from recordings of a female death metal vocalist. She can also make all sorts of other strange sounds, though - the "space" voice is something we'd probably have left unreleased and just had fun testing if it wasn't for the KVR DC, but we decided to include it in the release to appeal to a broader range of tastes. It's also just plain fun to push the sound in directions of sounds no one would expect to be made from death metal vocals - alien insect voices, supersaws, and Krautrockish rhythmic textures, just to name a few.
Here's an as-yet-unlisted video with some snippets that our graphic designer and tester has been working on:

Heh. If she does win any of the prizes, I'll seriously make a video of a victory speech being synthesized live.
I just ran across a witch house (I guess?) track somebody used her in. Interesting what non-metal uses people will find for her, though I personally hope she'll end up doing monster voice FX for some low-budget horror movies someday.
One last bit of campaign silliness, I Photoshopped a picture of Merry Oaks Park, which inspired her name when a friend of mine made a joke about "merry orks" something like 20 years ago.
Tomorrow I'll do a video capture of a speech being synthesized live. Hoping it'll be a victory speech, and not a concession speech.
We released version 2.000 last night - what was there for last year's KVRDC is unchanged except for renaming the presets, but she now also has a clean singing voice.
Years later, we finally got around to making some T-shirts... $25 plus $10 global shipping. Vocal's still free but now there's a way to give me money for something related to it, heh.
Women's sizes S through L, and unisex M through XXL.
And if that's not enough cute anime orc merch for you, also got Orcophony shirts from our more recent sample library. Graphics created by the same person.
