History[edit]

The idea of releasing a voicebank for Macintosh computers was conceptualized in the Japanese voice actress Haruna Ikezawa's regular column '天声姫語 Vox Reginae, Vox Dei' ('voice of the queen, voice of god,' a spoof of Asahi Shimbun's editorial article '天声人語 Vox Populi, Vox Dei' or 'voice of the people, voice of god') carried in the magazine Mac Fan by Mainichi Communications. It followed the success story of Hatsune Miku, a voice produced for the Vocaloid software which was produced for Microsoft Windows only but has no connection to the Vocaloid software development.^[1] The Macne series gained popularity after it was discovered that the sound files could be imported into the singing software Utau.

A plan was made to introduce new characters to the series in 2012 and as of October 2012, a selection of finalists have been chosen.^[2]

In late December, the concept of turning all the Macne series into Vocaloid were spoken about. The most major factor in the process was the cost of doing so.^[3]

The Macne vocals are set up as a family unit with each 'character' given a distinct personality.
