What's new on UTAU wiki

November 14, 2009

UPDATE: Jaynori Doremine has been released. He is a Multilingual UTAUloid that can handle English, Japanese and Filipino.

As declared by her author, Merome Rouge is currently a Private UTAUloid until she gets around to releasing her. Therefore, she is moved from WIP UTAUloids to Private UTAUloids for now. Also, Shou Kaneyama is now officially released.

November 12, 2009

Neko Kanochi also has restrictions to roleplayers requiring prior permission as well. Please see her page for details. Also Tony Yonné's voicebank has been updated with triphonic syllables.

November 11, 2009

All 1's today, but there's a notice and update for Aiko Kikyuune.

The creator of this UTAU character does not allow use of her existing/official artwork (i.e. that which was created by UTAUxyz and mystsaphyr, and uploaded to either youtube or myst-saphyr's deviantART gallery, EXCLUDING her official design box art) or use of her name or persona for any roleplay purposes without permission, which may be obtained by emailing myst_sapphire12@yahoo.com. Fan-created music, artworks, doujin/comics and fanfiction are, of course, completely acceptable.

tl;dr: You'll have to let the author know if you're going to roleplay as Aiko.

November 10, 2009

Yoshi Kazune has now been updated with triphonic phonemes. This makes him the only other overseas voicebank aside from Camila Melodia and Shou Kaneyama to utilize triphones.

For those that do not know, triphones are a cluster of 3 phonemes (vowel, consonant+vowel)into one recording, so that the flow from the vowel of the previous syllable flows into the next more naturally.

UPDATE: If you find a mistranslation, wrong information or inaccurate descriptions, please change it accordingly or discuss it in the respective discussion page. Don't be afraid even if you can't speak English! UTAU wiki is dedicated to bring accurate and correct information, when available. So if you find something wrong, give us a buzz!

We are proud to announce the completion of the translation to English! Special thanks to the UTAU wiki users who contributed, and a certain mianaito from YouTube for contributing his own translation as well!
