I was shocked to learn that I couldn’t just run Piapro Studio as a standalone program. To use said soundbanks, I could either use VOCALOID software from Yamaha, or Piapro Studio from Crypton Future Media. Hatsune Miku V4X is just a collection of soundbanks for VOCALOID 4, not a standalone program. These are the things I wish I knew from the beginning, things that I think should have been documented in English and included with the box. I’ve learned quite a bit from the process, so I’m writing down my notes. Once on my old laptop, and once on my new laptop. I’ve since installed the software a few times. I found the installation process to be very frustrating due to the Digital Rights Management (DRM), registration process, and lack of English documentation. I recently purchased Hatsune Miku V4X from Amazon.
