SugarCape comes with a default female voice.

Her design is that of a young schoolgirl with black hair pulled into a side ponytail; she wears a scarf, a school uniform, and an alpaca puppet on her right hand.

The icon was designed by michi.

SugarCape s the import of custom voicebanks. This has been done with UTAU voicebanks such as Nagone Mako.

Pitch transitions in SugarCape sound unnatural.

SaltCase is supposed to have improved pitch transitions as it uses a tri-pitch voicebank, and perhaps something like a prefix.map used in UTAU.

here's an 'interesting' demonstration of SaltCase

There was a SugarCape ios app created in 2009 but it is no longer available.

There were three versions: Free, Pro, and Red.

Unfortunately there aren't many videos featuring SugarCape on YouTube. The majority are on Nico Douga.

Here are some, however, all by the same (who hasn't been active since 2010):
