Muxin (牧心) is a Mandarin Chinese vocal developed and distributed by Beijing Photek S&T Development Co., Ltd., and was released as a Standard voice database for Synthesizer V Studio in August 2020. He was the first male Mandarin Chinese voice database to be released overall.
Muxin received a private Standard-trained AI voice database for Synthesizer V Studio known as "Muxin Synthesizer V Plus" in December 2021.[2]
His voice provider is YuukaNeko, a Chinese singer.
Concept[]
According to the Dreamtonics website, Muxin is said to be an idealist with a great fondness for history and social sciences. He enjoys stargazing through his telescope.[3]
Etymology[]
"Mu" (牧; mù) means "to herd", "to tend", "herdsman", "herder", or "shepherd" while "xin" (心; xīn) usually refers to "heart". Together, his name can roughly translate to "herding hearts" or "shepherd of the heart".
His name is rendered in Kana as "ムーシン".[3]

Additional Information[]
Marketing[]
Muxin was introduced as a young boy who had relations to the MEDIUM⁵ cast and would be making an appearance in the MEDIUM 2050 game, where he was presented as both 14 and 16 years old. He was also featured in official Quadimension albums.
On occasion, Beijing Photek would host tuning competitions[4] and paid music production courses for users to participate and attend. These would feature all of Beijing Photek's vocalists, including Muxin.[5]
Reputation[]
Unlike the other Beijing Photek Synthesizer V Studio voice databases before him, Muxin's was only made available on the company's Taobao shop, making it difficult for overseas users to purchase him if they had no knowledge of how to navigate and use the site. All of the previous vocals before him were also made available on Animen's ANiCUTE shop, which was friendlier to use for overseas fans.
Although specific vocals have not been mentioned, Ddickky noted that the commercial sales of their voice databases have never been so profitable, leading to a lack of motivation, especially for the creation of AI voice databases of the cast members introduced in Synthesizer V and Synthesizer V Studio.[6][7][8]- First male Beijing Photek voice database to be released.
