History[]
2023[]
On May 31, 2023, Dreamtonics Co., Ltd. posted a poem on bilibili along with an announcement that a new song was expected for June 1 at 17:00 GMT+8.[1][2] The following day, Dreamtonics announced the development of two new voice databases, a male and female pair known as Lin Lai and Yun Quan. Both vocals shared one demo and were both created with the impression of, and were voiced by, children, their debuts coinciding with Children's Day. The release date was not yet known but was said to be soon.[3]
Lin Lai was released simultaneously on Dreamtonics' Taobao and WeChat Mini Program on June 17.[4] From then until July 1, Lin Lai and Yun Quan would be available at a discounted price via Taobao and WeChat. Individually, their discounted price was set to 479 yuan compared to the regular 599 yuan. For their own bundles with the Synthesizer V Studio Pro editor, the discount price was set to 899 yuan compared to the regular 999 yuan. Unlike previous Dreamtonics vocals, they could also be purchased as a dual pack at a discounted price of 899 yuan compared to the regular 999 yuan, but this pack only included the two voice databases, not the Pro editor. It was also noted that upon release, Lin Lai and Yun Quan would only be compatible with Synthesizer V Studio version 1.8.0, meaning that they could not be used with the beta versions of 1.9.0, thus until 1.9.0 was released, they could not use the new rap function and were unable to sing in Cantonese Chinese with the Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis feature.[5][6]
Lin Lai and Yun Quan were made available to international customers on October 26.
2024[]
On November 14, 2024, Lin Lai, along with Xuan Yu, Cong Zheng, Yun Quan, Yi Xi, and Cantonese Chinese vocal Ling Wan, were added to AH-Software Co. Ltd.'s AHS Store,[7] thus allowing Japanese customers to purchase him without resorting to proxy services (like ParcelUp, which are required for most users from outside mainland China to buy Taobao products).
Updates[]
Retirement[]
Lin Lai was discontinued by Dreamtonics on March 21, 2025 with the release of Synthesizer V Studio 2 and Lin Lai 2. As of March 23, several Japanese online stores like the AHS Store, DLsite, and SONICWIRE still sell the original Lin Lai voice database, but stock may be limited.
Usage on Synthesizer V Studio 2[]
Lin Lai can be imported into (and used on) Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro by simply registering his SVS1 activation code into the My Dreamtonics website.

Voice Databases[]
- Lin Lai's tone was described to carry a youthful, brave, and confident sound with a unique touch of a childlike tone. However, he does not quite lose the depth and resonance that's expected of male voices. He can provide a sunny and vibrant atmosphere in children's songs.
- Lin Lai's voice was also described to be lively and bright.
- With Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPM), Lin Lai can 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, he 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 Pro and Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro editors.
- Phoneme format: X-SAMPA
- Through Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis, Lin Lai can sing in not only Mandarin Chinese but also in English and Japanese. Since the release of his v101 update on June 21, 2023, he can also sing in Cantonese Chinese with this feature; since his v104b1 update on December 18, he can also sing in Spanish with this feature. Cross-lingual Singing Synthesis is only available in the Synthesizer V Studio Pro and Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro editors.
- Lin Lai comes with four variations within the Vocal Mode function:
- "Gentle"
- "Unadorned"
- "Lively"
- "Bright"
- OS: Microsoft Windows 11 / 10 (64 bit) and up; macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and up; Ubuntu 20.04 (64 bit) and up.[21]
- CPU: Intel Core i5 or higher, or equivalent AMD processor; Apple Silicon M1 or higher.
- For high-quality editing of AI audio: Intel Core series 4th generation i5 or higher is recommended, or AMD Athlon X4 845 or higher, including Ryzen series.

Certain users were invited to create songs using earlier versions of the voice database and release the songs in sequence after the product's release as a complement to official demo tracks. It should also be noted that certain songs may not be involved with the early invitation and were added based on the company's preference. Only songs that feature Lin Lai as a main vocalist would be added to this demo table.
