It can even be used with non-Japanese banks as well, as support exists for CVVChinese, Delta-Style English, Teren-Style Spanish, and I think there’s official support for a Korean system too, though I forget which one.
It’s a bit convoluted to set up, but it’s a good tool. If you intend on using Japanese voicebanks in UTAU, you really should get used to using Kana characters. You may even be able to type in Romaji with it, but I wouldn’t generally recommend that. Basically it allows you to type them like you would in CV format.
It was made to simpmify the process of using CVVC voicebanks, but it should work with VCV banks too. It’s 3,560 Yen, which is about equivalent to $32.60 in US Dollars. It can be purchased from the Vector Store here. The only significant differences is that the interface is slightly different, and that VCV voicebanks can be read like CV voicebanks.
It’s totally optional, and it’s specifically made to not have that many features over the free version, since it’s supposed to be more like a “support the creator” sort of deal. It’s a good plug-in, and while it is a Japanese plug-in, there’s an English interface too. Iroiro2 is a plug-in that can do a lot of different things, CV-VCV, VCV-CV, Romaji-Hiragana only being some of them. There are a lot of them out there, but I personally recommend iroiro2. One, there are CV->VCV converters, and vice-versa. CV voicebanks just honestly aren’t that great unless you’re an experienced tuner. There are ways you can simplify the usage of VCV banks, though I suggest that you get used to using them, since most voicebanks worth using are VCV or CVVC. The Kana character is the note that actually plays, the Roman character is the vowel ( or “n”, since “n” can be syllabic in Japanese, and is usually treated like a vowel in synthesizers ) that proceeds the Kana character. Notice that there is a a roman character, and a Kana character. When typing in lyrics for notes, VCV works like this: “konnichiwa” is typed like so. In addition, Ritsu KIRE is a VCV voicebank, meaning that you will not be able to type the regular Kana character on its own and have it play. It is still expected that the author should be acknowledged of this.The overwhelming majority of Japanese voicebanks can only read Kana input.
He currently supports the Japanese language. She (apparently) lost her multilingual capacity due to the lack of the consonant phonemes. Tabby is a voicebank for the UTAU software, released in 2020.
Her voicebank got an update again: the Starter pack, which contains her CVs, logos and an MMD model made by ISAO. Later, Nana's page has been moved to Nanahira's site. Her voicebank may be downloaded at her homepage here. Haruka Nana's voicebank has been updated to version 1.2 which includes consonant sounds, making her a bilingual voicebank. Her voice is usually described as "cute", though without tweaking, she can sound rather robotic. With a correct Japanese locale if you want to use a kana encoded voicebank (a voicebank with the names of the samples being hiragana/katakana/kanji, such as '.wav') with a romaji ust then you only need to do an alias. For the syllables encoded in Kana, western users must convert those samples into Romaji first. Her voice data is written in Kana, except for syllables without kana representation, like the L syllables. Her voicebank used to contain Japanese phonemes only.
