The correct resampler and flags are required for this voicebank. Use the included resampler and template projects to make sure it's properly set up. Check the usage notes for full details.
If you discover any issues or bugs while using this voicebank, please report them here: Contact meThe resampler and template projects can be found in the _RESOURCE folder. Move the resampler folder to a convenient location. To start a new project, use the ustx template for OpenUtau and the ust template for Classic UTAU.
tn_fnds (and derivatives like macres) are looping resamplers that preserve the texture of gritty vocals. Other resamplers will smear the texture by stretching the audio, or produce unrealistic noise, or remove the grittiness entirely. The W237
flag will manually specify the base pitch of the notes as 237Hz, which is the average recorded pitch. This will prevent tn_fnds from making pitch errors.
In OpenUtau, change the track renderer to CLASSIC, then open the settings and change the resampler to tn_fnds.
Use Tools > Expressions to add the W237
flag.
In Classic UTAU, this is set in Project > Project Property.
For Japanese vocals, use the JA CVVC Phonemizer or Presamp, which will automatically use starting/midphrase CVs and VVs.
For English vocals, use the SHO Phonemizer or refer to the SHO E Usage Tutorial.
If individual notes sound off-key, you can adjust them using the Draw Pitch tool in OpenUtau or with the t flag in classic UTAU.
