History[]
In a press release[1], VoxWave produced a survey for market research in the community. This helped choose the gender of what would have been the first French VOCALOID that would later become ALYS, its second language, its design style and more.
As of September 2021, VoxWave officially closed as a company. Due to this, on December 15, ALYS was announced to be open-sourced. The character was stated to be under the free CC-BYNC-4.0 license, the UTAU vocal libraries were under the GPL-3.0 license, and the Alter/Ego version was still under a proprietary license under Phundrak's name, but was available for free.[2]
Key people[]
VoxWave gathered together members from the French-speaking VOCALOID™ community so as to achieve a common goal: to develop, and to distribute, French-speaking VOCALOIDs™. The company, a SAS, is only made up of associates for now.[3]
Later on, they abandoned the idea of French VOCALOID and choose instead to make French voicebanks on other software.
