Not a lot of people really know her even now. This is the part most people skip: After Momo came the UTAU Otodamaya. The list didn’t cover all possible combinations, so while it could sound good at some parts it would go back to CV (normal) quality in others (and if you listen, you’ll hear that in the middle of the song it starts getting a little choppier). Momo’s voicebank at the time did not have a full VCV voicebank – it had what is now called a “Lite” reclist (a reclist being the list of syllables you record for an UTAU voicebank). It was first displayed with the UTAU Momone Momo, with the song “Kenka Wakare” ( original by MimiroboP).

The VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel) method was developed by Ameya, the creator of UTAU. I’m not so good at this part so I’m going to paraphrase what a friend of mine said on a different venue: Continue reading after the jump!įirst, a little bit of history.

They’re also erroneously called “triphones”. In any case! Today I’m here to discuss the use of continuous sound (連続音 or renzokuon) voicebanks, also known as VCV. Sadly, that’s not true anymore, as my parents don’t take well to me taking breaks from my studies for longer than 15 minutes, and UTAU ranking reviews usually take longer than that… Rest assured that someday, I will storm back in full glory into those reviews and start re-applying snark to them. Hello! I’m Aster (Aster Selene), and you may recognize me as the girl who used to put snarky, troperiffic reviews on all of the UTAU rankings.
