English UTAUs? *gasp*

Yes, this is my THIRD try at making Mikoe sing in English. Except this time it will actually sound like Mikoe. I'm still working out the details, but when I finish it will be an easily usable bilingual bank. Like, the triphone smoothing buttons in the upper right corner will take away the hours of work you would need to use, for instance, Neko Kanochi. (Her English is harder to use than Teto's... -shot-)

I don't have a preview yet, since I'm still working on the list. But if you want to help, tell me any unusual consonant blends you can think of!

Oh, and my experimental multilingual UTAU, Shuon Rani, is going to sound a lot more like me. All her voicebanks are somewhat triphone-based. When I'm finished, she will have Japanese and Arabic triphones (with plans to expand the Arabic to Hindi/Urdu), and an English bank consisting of a bunch of wave files that are each one word. Her current demo is about two (off-key) lines from Laura Shigihara's 'Call me Home' which I hope to have her cover when I finish her voicebank. Her English will be incomplete for a long time because I mostly have to make sounds as I need them. But I try to add extras with each one (so if I need her to say 'heat' I'll record 'hear' and 'meet').

Rani means 'my song' in Hebrew or Arabic or something like that, and 'shuuon' means 'graceful sound', shortened to 'Shuon' for aesthetic purposes. (much as Mabushii is shortened to Mabushi)

Please leave a comment if you want to see this finished! I really need the encouragement! Every little bit counts!

Miko's ACT2 preview release!

This is more of a sampler to get you excited.

The Act2 for all my UTAUloids sounds NOTHING like their Act1. Miko is no exception.

And there is a lot more coming... are you prepared?

This is just his Japanese CV bank (complete this time), romaji with hiragana oto.ini. All frq files included.

n2 = m

n3 = ng

wo = o (light 'w' sound)

wo2 = wo (heavy 'w' sound)

What else will be included with the final release?

- Pitches (high/low)

- English voicebank

- Emotion packs (also known as 'append' voices):

-Lullaby (comparable to 'sweet' append)

-Vivid (comparable to 'light' append)

-Shout (comparable to 'solid' append)

- Official artwork

- Sample song

Well, Miko's official birthday is July 8th, so I figured I should make him sound a little manlier? :F (it failed).

Well, he's 14 now! Enjoy!

Oh, and let me know if you make him sing anything!

MM02 act2 preview.zip

OMG, I almost forgot to post this!

Well, it's 10:30 here on the east coast, so it isn't tomorrow yet! I'm not too late! ^__^

Hi everyone!

Wow. I can't believe I put this off so long. Okay, so here is the website for Mikoe, Miko, and Miki Mabushi, as well as all other UTAUloids and UTAU-related productions by Yoru Hikari (That's me!).

I think I'll start by releasing some voicebanks. Most of these are incomplete because I made mistakes with the oto.ini that I don't have time to go back and fix.

Voicebank (beta) downloads

MM01 - Mikoe Mabushi

Act 1

Japanese: MM01 JP act1

Please note, the version with all the oto.ini and frq files is ready, but I can't upload it yet, so be patient.

English: MM01 EN act1

The English was pretty much just a beta run to see if my system of English worked, and her Act2 will be a significant improvement. This does not have complete oto.ini files, and probably never will unless someone feels like it.

MM02 - Miko Mabushi (a guy. Gosh, I KNOW Miko's a girls' name)

Act 1

Japanese: MM02 JP act1 hiragana

Hiragana filenames with romaji oto.ini. Not EVERY sound is there, just 99% of the ones you're ever going to need.

Thank you if you use their voices! Please let me know if you do!
