I've been learning to use Synthesizer V, and really like its flexibility. I prefer to use it as a DAW plugin (in Studio One) because I can put effects (reverb, compression, EQ, etc) on the voice as I'm writing and programming, which sounds better, and in the DAW plugin you can assign different voices to separate channels for balance, mixing and effects individually for each voice, which is great for harmony vocals or choir.

I don't find it any slower in the DAW to the standalone, but I think this might be because it is well integrated with Studio One (used in their official demos.) When it adds ARA integration (announced to be coming soon) the DAW plugin will make the workflow even better.

The only thing I dislike about a lot of Synthesizer V tracks is when people quantize the vocal too perfect (which no real singer can, or would, do) and there are not enough slides, scoops and melisma (which every singer does accord to the style.) Fortunately, Synthesizer V can easily do this if you take the time.

I just bought Hayden, and his voice is quite useful for styles that don't suit Kevin or Asterian.

Here is my first trial of Hayden:
