I think it's totally fun that we now know what Eloquence version 1 from 1996, and every major version after it, sounds like.

@masonasons It's wild that we found most of it out in the span of a few months. To me it feels like the synth had 3 phases, at least that's how it feels like in my head where versions 1-3 sounded similar, then version 4 sounded closer to the modern Eloquence we know now but with a different accent and then versions 5 and 6 sounding nearly identical to me at least.

@pitermach Yeah. If I had been introduced to Eloquence at version 1.0, I honestly don't think I would've been super into it. It sounds super harsh and awkward to my ears.

@masonasons Yeah. I actually quite like the sound for version 3, I used it as my main for a while when the first addons for it came out, it kinda sounds warm to me. The one that really sounds off to me is 4.7 even though I know some people prefer it even to modern, but the accent to me just sounds... Wrong. I don't want to call it imperfect because it's probably based on a real dialect, but you know how most people myself included find the UK English eloquence just sounds wrong and not at all british? That's kinda how I feel about the sound of 4.7 American English.

@pitermach Yeah. I never really understood the charm of 4.7 myself. I'm kind of seeing a pattern here. It feels like whenever they majorly upgrade eloquence, it sounds weird for a major version or two, and then they fix it. E.G. 1.0 sounds odd, then by 3.0 it sounds nice. Then 4.x sounds odd and by 6 it sounds nice again. Haha.
