Finally, after all this time! ACT2 is finally released! ;;;AA;;;;; For now, only ACT2 ~Light~ has been released, because I want the full ACT2 to be released with ACT2 English and German phonemes. The only thing keeping me from releasing the full version is Hahenko's German is missing a few phonemes. Soon, my peoples, soooon~~~
ACT2 ~Light~ Includes all the basic Japanese phonemes, with a few extra ("va, fu, tu"). The full version will have pitch shifts (the up and down arrows you see in some voice banks). English phonemes are VERY usable now, and even more understandable! I should be releasing a preview soon. I was working on an English triphone list that worked very well! I got about 30% done with it, but then I saw Sango312 (Neko Kanochi's creator) was making one, so I figured it would end up being more mainstream than my list, so I'll just wait for hers.
German is pretty rough sounding right now, especial since I can't get the sounds right it seems. I think I'll ask Yoru to help me with compiling a list later, since he was going to create German triphones at one point.
Another drawback is that this morning my computer wouldn't start up. It really sucks, since I had just gotten Taisei and Hahenko's FULL triphones recorded and 50% configured. I'm pretty sure I can recover the information from my laptop, but it will take a LONG time, probably. Anyway, hopefully I can get everything fixed soon~
During the meantime, I'll be either reconstructing this blog, or setting up a new site on zazzle. I want to make a whole download section for voicebanks and the such, with scroll over text that displays in Japanese, for Japanese users who are looking to download things.
Well, school started, which means I'm usually too tired or busy to do anything with UTAU. But I have completed ALL of ACT2! The only thing I'm doing now is finishing their avi pictures. All I can draw is really moe stuff though, so it makes Taisei look kinda weird >.>;;;
To compensate for the wait, I finally finished Taisei's short triphones I made a LONG time ago for his 1.5 voice bank! THey should be sufficiant enough for the time. I've already recorded his FILL TRIPHONES (uhg >.>), which I work on when I'm bored or something. J is recording the rest of her short triphones too, to match, but she's having a bit of a hard time, because of her English accent. PREVIEW!
Hope you enjoyed ^^
Yup, here's Taisei's ACT2 Preview, as I said his next video would be~
Sounds great to me! Well, I would type more and stuff, but my anxiety is acting up again, so I can't think to say much~ Also, Hahenko was included in another of Moumosa's chorus! She forgot to put her in the tag, so that's why you many not see her if searched~
Very soon, ACT2 will be released! @_@ I can't wait! but work still must be done! Japanese is now 100% done on both! English is 100% done on both also (but I might add more before this is over~)! The only thing left to do is the German recording. I compiled a possible list for German phonemes, but it's not very complex and pretty basic, so don't be expecting some awesome sounding German there. I'll try to either upload their VB first, or a German preview next! Sayanara~
Yesh, Hahenko's ACT2 Preview is up! She sounds really good and I have to complement J on her beautiful voice! The Japanese phonemes are done and the English is just nearly done. The German reclist is also nearly done too!
I also made her ACT1.5 vb sing the Fireflies song in English~
She sounds aight. But her ACT2 English sounds MUCH better! :D
Also, thank you moumosa12 for using Hahenko in your chorus! :D
I think he used her ACT1.0 vb, which is why it might be hard to hear her. But nontheless, I enjoyed seeing her used ^^
Bye~
So, I fixed some stuff on here, like the downloads section and stuff.....when I feel like being creative, I'll let you know (-_____-)
Anyway, I found two UTAUloids I though sound delicious! The first is Jimine Otose! Allot of Oversea utau users are saying her voice is "Generic Woman voice", but I think their jealous! Her voice is very original, and very pretty for soft songs, like Hahenko, but has a robotic edge to it. I want her and Hahenko to duet! :D http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10746172
From the same author as Jimine, HARU, comes a very smooth sounding male UTAU named Yamamoto....I think....I translated it myself so I dunno....Anyway, he sounds awesome, but I don't really know where to get his voicebank! >.< Oh well, here he is~ http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11036063

Dang, I forgot to update this thing...... :/
Weeeeeellll.....I really haven't uploaded anything more lately....just a couple more songs, but nothing of note. I made a birthday present for Siene Kotone, cuz I was in a good mood! :D I'm not grounded anymore either, so maybe I can make more stuff. All those unfinished ust's....it's hard making ust's! D:
Uhhhhm.....I'm making a PV for Hahenko's cover of Coward Montblanc.....and Taisei and Hahenko ripsinc models, but I don't really get ripsinc editor, it's a big pain in the ass....
So.....bye! :D
I've been grounded from the computer for nearly 3 weeks D: During this time, I've worked on many art works and snuck on to make a few covers for songs. Hopefully I'll be ungrounded VERY soon (when that D in math is an A! >:( ) And thus can upload Anti the Holic, Beautiful World Chorus, and other things....:D Oh and yet again, I'm going to try my hand at 3D modeling with 3DSMAX....wish me luck -_-
Hello, my name is Extremeclay! Thank you for visiting my blog!
This blog is for the distribution of computer synthesized voices for the Japanese/English program UTAU, created by "Ameya/Ayame". It is very similar to the VOCALOID products produced by YAMAHA, with the main differences being that it is FREE and you can produce your own vocals to load into the program. For more information on what UTAU and VOCALOID is, please visit the UTAU wiki site or the Vocaloid Wikipedia Article.
