UTAU is a japanese software made by Ameya/Ayame in 2006. To use this voicebank you will first need to download UTAU, there are tutorials teaching you how to download and use it in several languages. You can also use it for other voicebanks. Here is the like to download it!

You fire up UTAU to make Defoko sing 'あ' to make sure things are working. But no sound comes out. There is no 'あ'. There isn't even anything slightly resembling a hiragana 'a'.

Until now, Mac users couldn’t enjoy UTAU, and were limited to only using proprietary software like the Macne series instead as there was no Mac OS X version of Vocaloid either. I don't know about you, but there don't seem to be any full tutorials that make any sense about how to use UTAU. It's because of this that I decided that I wanted to make it easier for those in the same situation to learn this program inside and out. ツール UTAU) is a voice synthesizer program currently available for Windows and Mac OS X systems (the Mac version being named UTAU-Synth), it was developed by Ameya/Ayame. UTAU is a shareware vocal synthesizer program that allows users to create and distribute their own voicebanks.

Changing Locale
Click here for a handy-dandy guide to changing locale for any version of Windows!
Note: If you have Windows XP, there is a chance you may be prompted for the installation disc in order to install the East Asian Languages Pack.
Mac UTAU-Synth users, rejoice, you don't have to deal with any of this. However, download The Unarchiver for Mac and use it instead of the default unzipping utility on your computer, or else you'll get mojibake voicebanks when you unzip them.
IMPORTANT!! If you change your locale AFTER downloading/installing UTAU or voicebanks, you'll need to redownload them and reinstall! Anything downloaded without Japanese locale is likely corrupted with mojibake and will not work!

FAQs
My UTAU window is displaying gibberish! Like ƒ‘¶ªßª and stuff!
This gibberish is called 'mojibake' and it means you do not have Japanese locale set!​
It is your computer trying to display Japanese characters, but since you don't have these Japanese characters, it instead displays the closest equivalents to those characters that it can find.​

What is locale?
Locale is a country-specific setting in your computer that allows you to use languages and text from that country. For instance, in this case, Japanese locale will allow you to properly display and use Japanese kanji/hiragana/katakana.​

Why does UTAU need Japanese locale to work?
UTAU was programmed in Visual Basic, which is a rather old language that predates the now-widespread usage of Unicode. In layman's terms, Unicode is a feature of modern computing that allows for universal display of text characters from all languages on any computer.​
Because UTAU is non-Unicode, when it is used on a system not prepped with Japanese locale, any Japanese characters will turn to gibberish, breaking a LOT of stuff both internally in the coding and externally in the interface.​

Will changing my locale set my computer to Japanese? I can't read Japanese!
Nope! Locale just means you'll be able to use non-Unicode characters, such as Japanese. It does NOT mean your Start menu and windows will suddenly all be in Japanese text.​
Locale by itself does not translate your computer interface, but it may prompt certain software to try to install in Japanese. Typically the installers or software will allow you to change back to English.​

Can I use AppLocale instead?
AppLocale will allow the UTAU program to run more smoothly without needing locale. HOWEVER. If you want to use Japanese banks, you will likely require romaji filenames. You can sometimes find romaji-encoded banks for popular UTAUs like Teto or Momo, but other banks will have to be hand-converted. You may also need to convert hiragana UST files to romaji.​

But I have the English version of UTAU! Why isn't my UTAU working?
Unfortunately, UTAU 4.18e (and previously, the English patch) only translates the interface to English. Since UTAU is programmed using Japanese characters, and UST & voicebanks still use Japanese characters, they'll still glitch up and cease to work.​

I'm getting errors like 'bad file name or number' and 'wav??????????????' What are these?!
These are common errors you get when your UTAU isn't running with Japanese locale. It means the software has run into an issue because it can't read the Japanese characters being used. SET YOUR LOCALE!

Mactau characters are original creations based upon the idea of 'The Vocaloid for Mac', despite them being used in UTAU. Mactau designs are original, being based upon Apple Products, the company itself or just simply being a fan of the Macne family.

I noticed that Cadencii hasn't been getting a lot of love. So give it a try! It's basically UTAU with the Vocaloid interface with some other cool features. So if you're familiar with Vocaloid, this is perfect for you.

It let's you import UTAU voicebanks and resamplers. Everything in a convenient drop-down list. Did I mention that it can import.wav files as BGM?

It can also convert romaji to hiragana automaticaly. It comes with a different resampler called vConnect-STAND, but you can use UTAU resamplers. It can import.ust,.vsq and MIDIs. The downside is that it is a little bit difficult to use and it works better with VCVs. If you use an UTAU resampler, you have to set Modulation to 0.

I do NOT own this software, the resamplers, nor UTAU. Download Links: Windows Mac. The reason that Cadencii doesn't get much attention is that it is harder than UTAU to use, and has lots of bugs. Also has many locale issues, getting to not even work depending on your OS language, and version (I had lots of issues on Windows XP). Also, there are functions that will nto work properly, and it requires too much RAM memory to work, being slow to execute many tasks. It also doesn't have portamento AT ALL (at least, talking about UTAU and v-Connect), and you need to make it manually using the pitchbends. Also, for some reason, it won't import some USTs at all, and some that it gets to import will create very strange bugs that can't be fixed.

In other words, you would need to make a voice sequence from scratch. There are also some bugs with vsqs, but not as frequent. About English, no. It isn't any easy to do English on Candecii, and may even be impossible. The way it works is optimized for VCV only, and it tends to bug with CV, and there are even some instances when trying to use CVVC, the whole vocie sequence will get mute due to some samples.

I'm actually interested in this! I've heard a lot about it in the past (like I think 1 year ago?) but never got a grasp around it. If I'm correct, to convert your UTAU for Cadencii, you goto ToolsCreate vConnect-STAND DB. You choose the oto.ini of the UTAU you want to convert, then the place where you want to store the converted UTAU, and press Convert. Not too sure, I'm testing it right now.

EDIT: It also warns you that you shouldn't convert if it's against the Voicebank's/Creator's rules which I think is a nice touch. Also, the conversion process is a little long. I will come back with the result of a very short song. (I like how it's like the VOCALOID2 interface and that you don't need to manually put rests.) Did some more looking, you could import the UTAU as just an UTAU through SettingPreferenceUTAU Singers. Also on the Preference Window, you can go to the Platform tab to add resamplers and the wavtool.

Some peoples' Cadenciis might not be working because they didn't use/put these. (WINE also located here) vConnect-STAND is a completely differently formatted synthesizer/resampler than UTAU ones, so if you have trouble with it, convert it. You can also change the font and language of the program under Appearance.

(Default=English so originally a project from those who knew English?) EDIT: Languages are: -ja (Japanese) -kr (probably Korean) -zh-CN (Chinese?; not too sure) -zh-TW (Taiwanese?; not too sure). Cadencii is beta morelikeunfinishedearlyalpha, you can't expect it to work properly. To open usts, first open them in utau and export to midi. Import them as 'standard midi' through cadencii. I honestly cannot understand why people like it.

First, it lacks crossfade tools so all the notes/envelopes must be manually edited. Second, after the update (both utau and cadencii update) it can't open ANYTHING. VSQx for V4 is a totally new format, so it doesn't support that. VSQx for V3 is practically unfinished and doesn't always work. Opening UST files is hit and miss, HOWEVER vcv lyrics are not the cause because I have opened those just fine. I don't see why people like vConnect-STAND so much. It's a World Toolkit based engine, much like EFB-GT for utau.

It's mostly a proof of concept and is barely to be considered a finished/usable product. Missing many features and glitching out during analysis. Furthermore, It's better at downpitching notes, where pitching them up often results in a harsh hissing noise. The quality of the samples are some of the cause, it's less prominent in cases where you have absolutely perfect samples. All the statements before about it only working with VCV are incorrect, loss of consonant sound is caused by nit using the apply utau parameters option.

Before the appearance of the now popular Teto Kasane, UTAU was virtually unknown. To date, there are over 1500 UTAU voicebanks from all over the world.

Near the end of 2009, Ameya created a special voicebank recording style first known as renzokuon, or 'continuous sound', also widely called VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel). This allowed UTAU voicebanks to sound much smoother and more human than before. Another recording style a few years after that, referred to as CV-VC (consonant-vowel-vowel-consonant), quickly became popular due to allowing one to create voicebanks for different languages other than Japanese in the program. (Like, for example, english) A Mac version of UTAU, known as UTAU-Synth, has now been released, and a mobile version of the software is in the works. CV:. Often referred to as 'Single Sound' in Japan, CV was the first recording style even created, and what the UTAU program was designed to work with.

The Japanese language is made up of almost pure consonant-vowel clusters, with next to no ending consonants. (The closest thing resembling such being the 'm' and 'n' consonants, which can work like vowels in the program.) As such, this tends to be the most popular recording style as, not only because most Vocaloid songs are in Japanese, it's the easiest and quickest style to record in, possessing anywhere around 52 sounds. While it is the easiest to work with, it's not without its problems. CV voicebanks tend to sound rather choppy due to the program artificially inducing vowel and consonant transitions, which results in it being viewed as the 'lazy recorder's method for those who don't want to spend the time making a VCV bank. While there may be some truth to this for some recorders, there is some unfairness in that accusation. CV voicebanks tend to be popular due to their ease of use on new comers, as well as the fact that they generally tend to take far less time to load when playing a song than VCV banks, as well as the fact that well put together CV banks can sound exceptionally smooth, to the point a few would swear that it was VCV bank if they didn't look into it. It all comes down to several factors on whether a CV bank was done out of laziness or a style choice, as there are a few who actually prefer the rather robotic tone CV can induce, saying it adds its own bit of charm to the UTAU program.

A sub-type recording style of this, CV-VV, is essentially a CV bank with vowel-to-vowel transitions, to help make the CV bank sound smooth overall while still being lighter on the program than a VCV bank. VCV:. Known as 'Continuous Sound' voicebanks in Japan, are voicebanks that are designed to have a more natural sounding vocal transition between phonetics. The recording style consists of recording vowels before each phonetic CV of a CV bank, allowing for the program to better transition from a previous vowel of the last phonetic, and to record natural vowel transitions for more natural sounding transitions in the program.

The result often ends up sounding very smooth in the program, with some even verging on quality. As a result, it tends to be the recording style most 'professional' UTAU producers use, and what they feel every UTAU voicebank should be. As explained in the CV section, this is a bit of an unfair accusation. While VCV generally sounds smoother than CV, it is not without its own problems. Like with UTAU banks in general, the most well put together CV bank can out perform the laziest put together VCV bank by miles. In addition, VCV takes far longer to record, taking anywhere from around 200-300 samples in comparison to the 52 samples needed for CV.

In addition, it leaves you with two choices to go for its recording method. The first, and most popular one, is to record several phonetic samples and duplicate them using the inbuilt duplication program that comes with UTAU. This results in less file sizes over all, but takes far longer to load in the program than a CV voicebank. Also, because the recorder is chaining together several phonentics at once, the consonants can sound rather slurred when played in the program. The second, less popular method is to record each VCV separately, allowing for more control over the tone and sharpness of the bank.

While this results in clearer vocals over all than the previous one, it also results in massive voicebank file sizes. In the end, it's up to the recorder to decide which they prefer. Extremely well put together VCV banks often times verge on quality, while sometimes even out performing a few 'official' Vocaloids, while lazily put together ones will often sound no different than lazily put together CV voicebanks. It should be noted that this recording style can also be used to record voicebanks for different languages other than Japanese. However, regardless of what style you use for recording these kinds of VCV banks, the results will often barely sound better than CV-VC at most, in addition to being twice to three times as larger than a CV-VC bank. As a result, it's generally viewed that you better stick to CV-VC if you plan on recording voicebanks of other languages. CV-VC:.

Utau

CV-VC voicebanks are one of the 'newer' recording styles in the fact that they weren't created until several years after VCV was discovered. However, they quickly made their claim to fame in the fact that they allow one to make voicebanks for languages other than Japanese. The recording style focuses on CV with the addition of end consonants, which nearly every language outside of Japanese possesses.

In order to record a VC, it's very much like a VCV where you record the vowel before the consonant, but stop upon saying the consonant, leaving a space of silence where the vowel in a CV or VCV bank would go so the program can naturally transition to the next phonetic without cutting off the end consonant. Upon its discovery, CV-VC quickly exploded to one of the more popular recording styles due to allowing, as well as other UTAU voicebanks, though some theorize it was created earlier before its abilities for English banks were discovered. CV-VC is also a bit controversial as many claim that the results are 'Better than Engloid', even though such accusations are flimsy at best. As with anything, general editing skill factors in heavily with both English UTAU and English Vocaloids. A well put together English UTAU can still sound like a drunken speak and spell in the hands of someone who has no clue what they're doing, while even the worst English Vocaloid can sound amazing in the hands of a professional.

Also factors in heavily with this, as for the longest while English Vocaloids were far more accessible to the general public than their Japanese counterparts, in addition to the Japanese ones being more well know by professional Vocaloid users and fans, resulting in their better covers being posted to. This resulted in mostly newbies to the program getting their hands on it, which contributed to a bit of a backlash against English Vocaloids.

Rest assured, if one were to do a quick search on, one would find just as many Miku, Kaito, and Len covers as there are Sonika, Big Al, and Leon covers on. Thankfully, this kind of thought process seems to be slowly dying down thanks to a combination of taking place with English UTAU voicebanks, as well as the English voicebanks that came out for most Japanese Vocaloids. That said, most agree that English UTAU on average have better control over the consonants and vowels thanks to the recording style, but such arguments can also be made for Japanese UTAU to Vocaloids. Another thing to note is that CV-VCs, on average, take far more phonetic samples than CV or VCV Japanese. A single pitch CV-VC English bank can take anywhere between 300- 500-to 1000 recording samples to get a natural sounding tone and smoothness to it. Naturally, this is because English is a far more complex language than Japanese, being one of the most complex languages in the world. CV-VC is also not limited to English, either.

Among many things, there are quite a few surprisingly good Spanish, Korean, and even French voicebanks floating around the net. This kind of style can also be applied to Japanese, but in a different way. Rather than end consonants being the end of the word, they more so serve as flag for where to start the next phonetic in editing, essentially meaning it serves as a way to artificially create VCV transitions without recording everything needed for a VCV bank. While the results of such generally sound just as smooth as VCV, it, like the other styles, is not without its faults. If one were to listen closely, it is possible to hear the program playing the transition separately from the two CVs, and can be a bit hard to unhear afterwards, and professional CV voicebanks on average can sound just as smooth. Still, for those who don't possess the editing skills for a professional CV or VCV bank, this presents a nice alternative.

Multipitch:. Multipitch has been something that's been in the program for years, but was never really paid attention to until the creation of Ritsu's 'Kire' voicebank.

It can apply to any of the above recording styles if one wishes, and has a multitude of uses. The way to record it is to record your base samples, then record several more at different pitches and assign them to the appropriate tone range in UTAU, often by giving it a marker in the program.

The uses for such a style vary. The original use was to allow for more natural sounding tone transitions, as well as taking less stress of the program itself so that it can plan each sample in a more natural sounding tone. However, the creator of Ritsu discovered that this application could be used for more dynamic tone transitions, allowing for a voicebank to have a more emotional tone to it than what a 'monopitch' voicebank is capable of, and thus allowing for a wider range of music genres to use it for. Often times, most use it for rock songs and the like, but this technique can also be used for more mellow songs as well. A common belief in the fandom is that having multipitch for the sake of multipitch is a bad thing, as the UTAU program is capable of replicating the tone of a non-dynamic monopitch voicebank rather perfectly.

While there is some truth to this (in addition to multipitch banks being monsters when it comes to file sizes, especially for VCV and CV-VC) in that the program does manage to replicate the tone of your voice pretty well, it's not without some benefits. As said, multipitch takes a lot of strain off the program itself when it comes to replicating tones at higher pitches, which generally results in smoother sounding tones and far less mechanical rasp at higher pitches.

It's really up to the user if they want to make a multipitch bank or not, because as said, many find that the possible mechanical rasp adds to an UTAU's charm.: While it can still be downloaded from the official website, it could potentially be heading this way soon. The program hasn't gotten a proper update since 2013, and many users have noted that by 2024, VB6 (what UTAU runs on) is going to be rendered completely obsolete, making it virtually unusable on modern computers after that point. It doesn't help much that the developer, Ameya, hasn't updated his social media in years. However, there's been some projects attempting to remake the program and replace it when things go haywire; some noteworthy projects are the (aka MelodiaSynth or Melodia Sequencer), which is web-based and developed by Khento, the, developed by, developed by Lethe, developed by Boxstar, and, which was developed by, though it's gone through much.: Or program.

Regardless, if you want to make an UTAU that sounds even halfway decent, as well as make it sing well, hope you have a couple hundreds of dollars to spend on the necessary high quality microphone, vocal editing software, and possibly even music synthesizing software if you want to make music from scratch.:. The program itself, for starters, being the alternative to. It's impossible to count the number of floating around in the fandom even with a dedicated list. Granted, this is often because of the fact that Vocaloids while UTAU voicebanks are, obviously, free.: Considering the interface is very similar to Vocaloid, with some minor to major differences, this is bound to happen. Of course, this trope works both ways if you used UTAU long before Vocaloid.: Naturally, considering making an UTAU based on the users voice is the first thing most people do upon getting the program.

Depending on several things such as editing skill, microphone quality, and general voice tone, results can range from drunken karaoke to ear meltingly amazing.: Disregarding the fact that an UTAU's bank quality depends on a number of factors, sometimes a voicebank just flat out doesn't like one of the many resamplers out there, or the UTAU program ends up hiccuping for some reason. The end results of such can be rather.

Amusing, to say the least.: Either done intentionally with some UTAU voicebanks for the lulz, unintentionally in an attempt to, or as the result of putting the voicebank at an extremely high pitch.: Anyone can make an UTAU. Naturally, this means there are well over a thousand voicebanks and characters; however, only a handful of them have any popularity.: Surprisingly, no, it's not Teto Kasane, despite what the fandom insists. It's actually supposed to be Uta Utane, the voicebank that comes with the program created entirely from robotic speech synthesis. Doesn't stop people from seeing Teto as the unofficial mascot, though, thanks to her.: Depending on how many phonetic samples are being used, the general speed of the resample being used, and if the phonetic samples only possess one sample (usually CV) or several (usually VCV), it can take a while for the UTAU program to load them all and play them out.
