Thank you everyone who participated in the design contest. I am so grateful for all of your entries. It was the hardest thing to choose the winner, I had to make many sketches to see which one fit the best.. but I am happy to announce the results today! ๐ผ (1/3)
#MimosaJaponica
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I truly mean it but please be try to be mindful when talking about OpenUtau as it's the result of the work of many collaborators in their free time, people from our community who strive to make utau & non-jp support better (1/3)
I'm super touched my design got chosen and I am even more moved by the love people have for my design. I received so many messages congratulating me before even seeing the tweet... ๐ญโค๏ธ (1/2)
After much deliberation (and a few delays), we also would like to offer our congratulations tonight to Mim (
@mimsynth
) for winning the ASTERIAN Eclipsed Design Contest! We were really impressed with the strong shapes & silhouette, & the way it elevated ASTERIAN's concept!
I really love UTAU groups... ๐ญโค๏ธ There's something really nostalgic & sweet about people coming together to make characters (tasteloid, vocreatures just to name a couple... utaufrance? ๐)
Feel free to plug projects like these under this tweet! ๐ค
Cat (MILGRAM) / ASTERIAN
My cover isn't perfect but you know what is? ASTERIAN on this! ๐ฅบ He sounds incredible! His vocal modes are really rich and waaah, I knew he would sound good on Cat... but this good? ๐๐

Song: GENTLE / ้ฆๆคใขใคใ
UST & tuning: ๅคๆฎ
I will be backing no matter what because it's great smaller companies are launching their own software!
I just wish we got a glimpse of the crosslanguage feature, especially... you know... a fr*nch demo ๐(we will give free feedback, get in touch with Utau France)
It's official:
The Maghni AI IndieGoGo campaign is now live! ๐ฅณ
Browse our crowdfund page for exciting details and weekly updates from the Vocatone Studio & Misbah Studios team as the campaign continues!
Lastly, enjoy a special message from Oliver and... a surprise guest!?
Ofc it's no secret I am one of them but I haven't really seen complaints about the French stuff ๐
I just think it's sad to see so much negativity towards a fan/community-driven project when I know how hard people work on updates, new features etc. (2/3)
I was talking about it with a friend yesterday night but I would love if it were possible in SynthV to create a "custom language" that lets you create a set of phonemes from the existing ones from English, Japanese, Mandarin & Cantonese. (1/3)
Bonjour !
Here is a preview of UFR's latest project: Millefeuille. A new way to create your own French virtual singer using

We want to thank
@Imsupposed2
for the language support.
Stay tuned for more reveals really soon!

New utau is really exciting and I'm happy for fans that are waiting for the update (I hope it's coming for real!!)
but as a nerd dev๐คperspective, feedback on what you don't like about the software would be sooo helpful so that it could be patched, improved, changed... (3/3)
IM FREE!!
Mimosa AI is out! I had to fight myself not to leak EVERYTHING. She comes with 4 vocal modes: CORE, DARK, SWEET & POWER (crusty) and can sing in French, Japanese & English! ๐งก๐

Mimosa BLOOM is out!
She's a French CVVC 17-pitch VB divided in three sets (core, power & soft), making Mimosa the most expressive she's ever been. ๐ผ
DL:
Little teaser of something I've been working on!
I've made RVC-dubbed voicebanks for ALYS, using only her open source samples. This is her 2 x 3-pitch (normal and soft) VCCV English bank. ๐ค
I wanna work on the accent to make it a bit less intense, may release these as betas ๐
I couldn't resist trying to record theItalian reclist!! I said I spoke Italian but clearly I don't she seems really accented to me ahah ๐ซฃ I'll do re-records later, I may have pronunced e/3 and o/0 too harsh to differentiate them properly
still working hard on lyse!! I'm not on my usual setup so don't mind the video and mix...
currently testing her voice more & building a library of french diffsinger ustx โฅ๏ธ๐๏ธ

I'm still blown away by how many people like Mimosa, I didn't think she'd be this loved. I do vbs & covers out of love for vocal synths and I was satisfied with just putting my stuff out there. It warms my heart so much to see all the love for Mimosa! ๐ญ
Thank you everyone!! ๐๐
Re: Maghni AI
My full thoughts on the matter are a bit more complex than my previous tweets let on. I've been in the fandom for a long long time so I've seen it all. I completely understand if people are wary of the crowdfunding! (1/4) ๐งต
wifey got an update!!
Cornelia has one of the prettiest tone ever, I'm so glad I got to make her standing art for her new voicebank, please go and listen to some of her demos ๐
(the mix on the verse is embarrassing but I swear the chorus makes up for it)
ended up not buying the rose sv physical, I had to fight every cell in my body, can't wait to make her duet with her synth v twin tho!! ๐น

I'm already thinking of redoing Mimosa diffsinger's data. I didn't really know what I was doing when I first started recording. Her recent vocal modes came out way better! She will release in January like planned but expect a V2 after that.
Quality > Quantity, especially in ds
Mimosa PETAL (French VCCV) is getting a re-release as Mimosa PETAL II !
Now features two new colors: CORE & SOUR, her old voicebank is now under the SWEET color.
Available for DL here and soon on
@UtauFrance
Test of some RVC-dubbed pitches (Co is the base one recorded by me and the others are inferenced on pitched Co).
This is from a 7 min data model so definitely not the best, I think the idea has potential tho! ๐

Here's a new voice acted utau, she's Haruno Sora-core (as some would say: MOTHER).
I dunno what I wanna do with her. Will design her later, but if people got ideas or would like to adopt her, feel free, I got too many utaus...
ust - hibino
It was fun to make, way out of my comfort zone. The mix is quite bad, sorry! It's my second time using Korean utaus, I hope it's okay ๐โโ๏ธ๐ค Maybe I can make full chorus covers in the future.

#CVFest2023

So, what's next? ๐ผ
i needed to get it out of my system so the mix and tuning isn't the best... & I still want to do OTONABLUE with ROSE so expect a wip of that too

We focused today on non-native French voicebanks (with Luther) and Canadian French ones (MURIN)!!! Their accent were super well preserved and I'm glad we can offer support for dialects outside of France โค๏ธ๐ซฐ
Merino!! โค๏ธ She's the pair voicebank that goes with Kashimi. They're both gonna be tripitch + 2 (or 3??) colors in French & Japanese! + Kashimi on the harms
Her STEELWOOL (power/growl color) works really well with rock & metal.

I've been busy ( ๐๐๐ ) and don't have any halloween covers to post so please take this Kevin Futarine cover from 2016 (my first cover on YT!)
I should redo this without the Miku harms but I still love this cover very much.
I backed it right away because I want to see the project in a positive and optimistic way & I want them to succeed. That said, I really wish we got more demos and less promises. I want to hear what the crosslanguage sounds like, what the accent feature is exactly. (2/4)
But also!!
I've got a new website!!
This will have everything mimosa related + new utaus + dictionaries & stuff!!!
Thanks to
@Tweek_Twix
for the logo and helping me setup and create the site! ๐
Superstellar's art looks incredible, I admit I put in a lot of gold and pretty fabric on purpose, it feels unreal to see it drawn by them!
Thanks everyone and thank you so much to Eclipsed Sounds! I can't wait to use ASTERIAN and SAROS... Already have a few song ideas in mind (2)

Yaaaay!! You can now test the new version of the English phonemizer by opting in the beta of Open Utau! ๐ค๐ค
Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Beta > On
The English dictionary has also been updated to fix pronunciation on some words! It's highly recommended you use it. (1/2)
Happy 12th Anniversary, Kumi! ๐ฅณ
After nearly a DECADE, I've finished the configuration for this 4-pitch English voicebank!
The overhauled VCCV English Phonemizer is live now, so this voicebank can be used effortlessly with dictionary support ๐ฅฐ I hope you try it out!
I had to reupload because I noticed some mistakes in the video, sorry about that! Please give it a listen, Armor is one of my faves ever

I don't know how big of an impact it made but I'd like to think I made French synth a bit better with the phonemizers & dictionaries. Even if it's still a niche thing I don't really care cause I'm having so much fun everyday with my friends in the

Above all, I wish we had a more defined roadmap with dates to hold VocaTone accountable, to have a clearer vision of what to expect and when.
Also, if more reveals are planned during the crowdfunding itself, I'd like it if they could communicate on that. (3/4)
I've had a few people ask and I DO do art & design cmms. For UTAU stuff, I currently operate on a pay-what-you-want basis since money doesn't have the same value everywhere! Just tell me what your budget is and we'll work something out. No guaranteed deadline tho! ๐ค
@eclipsedsounds
This still feels unreal!! I'm really honored to be a tiny part of ASTERIAN now ๐ฅบโค๏ธ Superstellar did an amazing job with the illustration, he looks gorgeous. The iridescent fabric is out of this world...
ใA.I.VOICEใThe vocal synth of the hour is unoka.
A vocal for the AI speech synthesis program, unoka is capable of expressive speech and is able to speak with her younger โShizukuโ voicebank.
She shares a voice provider with Tsurumaki Maki (VOICEROID).
Lastly, please don't go after anyone for their opinions! Sometimes stuff could have been said nicer, but people should be able to express their fears about the project so that VocaTone is able to answer them. People shouldn't be afraid to say what they want! (4/4) ๐
Test VB, I should oto her a bit more before deciding on what to do with her... It's so hard to know whether I pronounced stuff correctly or not ๐
I feel you, non-French speaking people that recorded French VBs ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน

Did you find her name last time? ๐
It comes from the French word "vocalise", which you can hear her doing here... Do you recognize who her voice provider is? ๐

His French VB is a mess so no date on when it could be ready...

I like that GUMI SV sounds like a Vocaloid put in Synth V!! She's not as high quality as some other vocals but I don't think she needs to be, it's so cool to be able to have the classic GUMI sound on a software that's easy to use. ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
He's here!!!! โค๏ธโค๏ธ
The box design is so slick, I love it. Hibya Jade is a great voicebank!
Now he needs some boxed French utau friends...

We thought about the ALYS thread's wording a lot but I still feel like we should clarify some points. ๐ This is in no way legal advice, we just meant to spread information that is only available in French on Discord. Those are the right holders' wishes, not the law's. ๐ค
I guess it's finally time to reveal a bit more things about P.O.U.F's owner !
Here's a little sneak peak at the brand new reboot of Kevin Futarine for Diffsinger using Millefeuille : Kevin Futarine PARADOX !

I don't really know what could be achieved with Kaai Yuki SV that couldn't be done with Yun Quan anyway, there's only so much you can do with kids' voices.
I wish more french youtaites were interested in making utaus, there are so many voices I like and would love to hear synthesized, I'm too afraid to ask but I'd love to take on the configuration and helping with recording ๐
Mixing more than 2 utaus is impossible!!! reveal of Kashimi's voice I guess? This is his tripitch CVVC VB! The other two are utaus I wanted to use for a long time! They sound good together but they make my boy look like a clown
