Korean singing synthesizer

SeeU The package for SeeU Developers SBS A&T (formerly SBS Artech) Release October 21, 2011 December 16, 2011 (Japan) Operating system Windows Platform PC Available in Korean Japanese Type Vocal Synthesizer Application License Proprietary

**SeeU** ([Korean](/source/Korean_language): 시유; [RR](/source/Revised_Romanization_of_Korean): *Siyu*) is a female Korean vocal created for the [Vocaloid 3](/source/Vocaloid_3) software by SBS A&T (formerly SBS Artech)[a] and was the only Korean vocal released for that version of the software. As well as a Korean vocal, she possessed a Japanese vocal. The voice behind her is Dahee Kim from the band [GLAM](/source/Glam_(group)).

## Development

On June 6, 2011, a demo called I=Fantasy that was produced by [Bang Si-hyuk](/source/Bang_Si-hyuk), was introduced during the VOCALOID3 announcement.[1] On August 30, her name and appearance was revealed. Pre-orders for SeeU took place on October 14, 2011, and a community called *CreCrew* was opened. She was released on the 21st of the same month, the same day that Vocaloid 3 itself was released, making her one of the first 4 products released for the engine alongside V3 [Megpoid](/source/Megpoid), [VY1v](/source/VY1)3 and [Mew](/source/Mew_(software)). In Japan, SeeU was released on December 16, 2011. Sales of her software in Japan ended on March 1, 2013.

During an interview with SBS A&T manager, Hyo Eun Kim, it was said that SeeU's name came to mind after thinking of a line from the 2009 film, [Avatar](/source/Avatar_(2009_film)). The line "I See You" popped into her mind and became the inspiration for 'SeeU'. According to SBS, this is only one of several meanings of her name.[2][3]

### Additional Software

During the Vocaloid 3 promotions, it was claimed that SeeU had enough capabilities to do English. While post release discoveries noted she had extra [phonemes](/source/Phonemes) recorded for use to create English with her Korean vocal, this was still not a true English vocal recreation and SBS artech received criticism over this. SBS Artech announced they would produce an English vocal for SeeU. In Feb 2012 they stated that they were working on a full English voicebank[4] In August 2012, SBS reported that the recordings for the voicebank had been completed and was now going through a tuning process. Her English VB will be similar to the "Append" expansion pack of [Vocaloid 2](/source/Vocaloid_2) and her design slightly adjusted.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] On February 4, 2013, in response to a Korean fan's question about the progress of English Voicebank, SBS posted a reply that the development of English Voicebank is on hold. Reasons for this are currently unknown.[5]
