History[]
2020[]
In January 2020, Ddickky confirmed that he learned about the second generation of the Synthesizer V engine in mid-2019. He wrote that it was in the works and was expected to be ready by the end of 2019, but it was pushed to around February or March 2020. He confirmed that Haiyi was the last to release for the first engine and that the next voice database would release for the new one. In addition, he had plans to gradually update each of Beijing Photek's first engine voice databases, and depending on the development costs, users who owned any of the four vocals would be able to receive the update for free or for a low price.[2]
On June 26, it was announced that Haiyi and the other released members of MEDIUM⁵ would receive a ported update to Synthesizer V Studio. These would be released on July 10. Users who already owned Synthesizer V and/or the original MEDIUM⁵ vocals received a special discount.[3]
2021[]
On December 23, 2021, it was announced that Haiyi, Chiyu, Shian, Cangqiong, Muxin, and Minus were expected to be upgraded with AI voice databases and would be able to support Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and English (in correspondence to the Synthesizer V Studio 1.5.0's Cross-lingual Synthesis capabilities). It was clarified that the AI versions were trained by the Standard voice databases, and were not meant to be replacements for Standard nor would the update be available directly via the editor. As a separate type of voice database, the new libraries would need to be repacked in new installation packages, which required separate activation codes.
Ddickky commented that because Christmas was approaching and that Dreamtonics Co., Ltd. would be on holiday, it was thought that the voice databases could all be shipped on December 23 at 17:00 to directly align with the 1.5.0 engine update; however, he found this to be wrong. After Dreamtonics finished packaging the AI libraries, the activation codes were planned to be distributed by the Taobao agent, where users were to approach them, have their proof of purchase verified, and a new AI code would be sent. This was an entirely manual process and would have been done one by one. In addition, considerable time would have been needed to complete all six packages, so only one of them would have been finished on the 23rd, while the others would be finished later on.[4][5][6][7] The upgrades would be distributed to existing users for free and prices would be raised for new buyers soon due to the new inclusions.[8][9]
Later on, Quadimension commented that the release of the six AI voice databases was canceled for December 23 due to a lack of confidence about their performance as rushed products. A limited beta-testing would run first. The voice databases would be released after their performances were proven satisfactory. By then, Quadimension hoped to find an efficient way to distribute the AI activation codes.[10]
According to Creuzer, one of the beta testers, Cangqiong AI was the only beta voice database out of the six that was available at the time. Haiyi AI's beta was expected to be on the way.[11] On December 30, the voice databases were officially called "Synthesizer V Plus".[12]
2022[]
Throughout 2022, Cangqiong Synthesizer V Plus and Muxin Synthesizer V Plus received multiple examples demonstrating their capabilities as Standard-trained AI voice databases, including the Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis function. However, news about the development and future releases in general for all six characters were not available. On September 29, in response to a fan's question about whether the Plus versions of the six voice databases would be released soon, Quadimension wrote that it was probably not likely due to the qualities being unfit for commercial use.[13] On November 22, in response to a fan, Ddickky confirmed that the Plus series of voice databases were created with the intention of demonstrating the effects of training AI with Standard voice databases and were not meant to be released. The voice databases were sent to shareholders as a technology demonstration and not as a full product update. As these voice databases were to show the effects and technology of splicing AI training, they could not be noted as "Synthesizer V AI" as they would affect the brand quality of AI voice databases, thus the need of calling these "Synthesizer V Plus".[14][15]
2023[]
On March 11, 2023, in response to some fans' questions regarding the production of AI voice databases, Ddickky said that the other "AI" voice databases were promoted with Xingchen Infinity and that the voice providers were invited at the same time in the prior year. He said that he had no issue with the funding, but that some of the voice providers were concerned that the AI would be "stealing their jobs" while some were procrastinating with the work until recently. There was also a concern that the databases would not sound like the previous R1 and R2 "Standard" versions. He explained that an update for Xingchen V4 was needed as it performed poorly, so it must be launched even under the pressure of changing the singing voice style. For the other characters, however, the voice style change was always uncertain and it may create a reaction of resistance similar to Xingchen Infinity. Regarding the commercialization of the AI voice databases, Ddickky noted that the commercial sales of the voice databases have never been so profitable, so there wasn't enough motivation before. The commercialization would be determined after the production was completed, but it was expected to be handled similarly to Xingchen Infinity and would be sold directly since the technical workload and input cost were completely different. The AI voice databases may be sold for hundreds of yuan, which was one of the reasons why he thought they may not be suitable commercially. He also said that it was not a good time to speak from the perspective of business strategy and can only make a reminder in two months rather than rushing to ask every day. If there were no issues or delays, Chiyu AI and Minus AI were expected for 2023. The rest of the remaining cast members have not been mentioned. Ddickky reminded fans that because there was no product line for the Standard-trained AI voice databases, they should not be expected for release.[16][17][18]
2024[]
On December 8, 2024, in a newsletter written by Zero01, Haiyi was confirmed to be receiving an AI voice database. It was expected to release in 2025.[19] Pre-orders for the voice database opened on December 20, with a note it would release on January 3, 2025.[1] Those who pre-ordered her before December 21 at midnight would receive a physical box.[20] The illustration representing Haiyi AI was a design previously used for her "Echoes of the Sea" figurine; it was illustrated by ATDan.
On December 24, customers who pre-ordered Haiyi AI started to receive links to her voice database installer via email, as well as their activation codes via Taobao direct messages.[21] Overseas customers who pre-ordered her via proxy services like ParcelUp (which has been active since 2009) first received links to her installer via a first message from Beijing Photek's QQ email account, then hours or even a day later separately received her activation codes via a second Photek QQ email message.
2025[]
Haiyi's AI voice database was released on January 3, 2025 as expected.
On March 21, the day Synthesizer V Studio 2 was released globally, Quadimension's Taobao store announced that SVS2-compatible Plus versions of its MEDIUM⁵ Standard voice databases (including Haiyi) were being offered for sale to customers, with delivery of activation codes and Baidu download links expected to take place within 10 days of order placement. The product listing also stated at the moment that customers who had bought the corresponding original SVS1 Standard voice databases within the past three months would only pay 50 yuan for the Plus upgrades, while those who had purchased the originals earlier within the past twelve months would only pay 100 yuan to upgrade; shortly later, it was added that for customers who acquired the originals earlier than 12 months ago, the upgrade from SVS1 Standard to SVS2-compatible Plus would cost 150 yuan for a limited time of just three months. The listing also advised not to rush to purchase the Plus upgrades, as any changes to the notice would be announced.[22][23]
Fans, especially those in the western vocal synthesizer community, felt uneased or outraged by the announcement of having to pay extra to upgrade their SVS1 MEDIUM⁵ Standard voice databases to their SVS2-compatible Plus versions when, in contrast, equivalent SVS2-compatible AI-trained Standard voice databases by other companies (like VOLOR's GENBU and AiKO,[24] as well as Dreamtonics' own Saki Standard and AH-Software's complete Standard lineup), which were technically no different than Quadimension's Plus voice databases, could be obtained for free and downloaded into SVS2 after registering their original SVS1 activation codes on the My Dreamtonics website.
On March 23, Ddickky stated that he was still debugging the new SVS2 and Plus listing on Taobao, and that the voice databases would not be ready for days. Producer IrunaBara added on top of that statement that, even if the Taobao listing looked fine right now, the presence of new Plus options there were simply a glitch, and advised other customers to hold off on placing any orders.[25] Shortly later, the new Plus upgrade options were grayed out on the Taobao listing, preventing them from being selected.
On April 14, the MEDIUM⁵ Synthesizer V Plus voice databases finally became available for free download (through the Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro editor) to owners who registered the activation codes of their corresponding Synthesizer V Studio Standard voice databases on My Dreamtonics. Although compatible with the new SVS2 engine, they do not have access to the Vocal Mode function and do not support Korean Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis or any other Synthesizer V Studio 2-exclusive features, rendering the databases similar to those of first-generation Synthesizer V AI vocals imported into the new engine.
That same day, Haiyi AI was now able to be imported into Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro after registering her SVS1 activation code into My Dreamtonics.

- A preview of Haiyi's Synthesizer V Studio Standard voice database (provided by the Dreamtonics website):
- This would have been an AI voice database that was trained by the Standard version and would not have been based on new recordings. Thus, there may be similarities between Standard and Plus.
- Through Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis, Haiyi Synthesizer V Plus would have been able to sing in not only Mandarin Chinese but also in English and Japanese.
- The traits may remain similar to her Synthesizer V Studio voice database, which includes her young, clear voice.
- Haiyi Plus is able to sing more realistically through changes in volume and breath, further enriching singing details, making each singing unique, and providing creators with more options. Through this mode, she can use AI Retakes to create multiple "takes" of a sung section to find an ideal vocal without the need for "laborious tuning". This feature is only available in the Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro Editor.
- Phonetic format: X-SAMPA
- Through Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis, Haiyi Plus can sing in not only Mandarin Chinese but also in Japanese, English, Cantonese Chinese, and Spanish; however, as an AI-trained Standard voice database, Haiyi Plus does not have access to the newly-added Korean. This feature is only available in the Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro Editor.

"不过另一点是，不光声源觉得ai和自己太像，我也觉得如果这么像声源而非角色之前的声库。不是很合适。星尘一定要做是因为v4性能过于差，所以硬顶着声音变化的反对也做了。而其他几个角色是sv2带拼接式，性能过得去，那做了ai产生与星尘类似的声音变化风波，在外加商业角度（卖声库）不是那么挣钱，你能理解我逻辑了吧。" - ↑ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/695380056155095054/1084001780926525450/Screenshot_2023-03-11-14-25-45-806_com.png (Archive) - "回复 @覆雪繁花 :这个还是等快出了看情况才能定，不过基本应该是类似星尘ai的直接卖新的，因为和之前拼接式完全是不同技术工作量和投入成本上也完全不相干，所以会是大几百重新卖，这也是我觉得不好卖商业上不太合适出的一个原因"
