Weekly Overseas UTAU Forum News 5

Hello everyone!


From the cold depths of our Overseas UTAU Forum, I present to you: our weekly newscast! With all the new and cool things happening in the world of (overseas) UTAU! But first: We are recruiting! The news departement is looking for people who want to contribute and help! If you want to help us (me) out, contact me through the forums. My name is smeen. Just send me a PM or something.

So, on to the real news. And we have something exiting today! New technique, developed for UTAU! Yes, this new technique, developed with the M4-engine we talked earlier about, will work similliar as VocaListener and makes UTAU more real-sounding. Listen to a test, made with Defoko (Uta Utane), Teto Kasane and Momo Momone here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJk-bk2jIps

Sounds very, very nice, don't you think? Exiting news indeed. When this technique will be released is not said, and this is just a beta test, but we can't wait to see more of it!

Over to the new voicebanks. We have a lot of new UTAUs for you this week again. Take your time and let me introduce them to you all.

Weekly Overseas UTAU Forum News 2

Welcome to the second edition of our OSUF Weekly News, presented and made by the members of the overseas UTAU forum! Wanna find us? Find us here!


http://overseasutau.forumotion.net/forum.htm


Anyway, this week has been a blast! Why? Because we could lay our eyes on the new engine for UTAU! The so-called M4-engine seems to be smoother, and it seems to have a new option for controlling the pitch. This is all very exciting, but only some videos have been released to the public, made with a closed beta version. But, if you want to speculate, here's one of them.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11684608


Onto the new voices that were released on our forums this week. We have quite some new ones and updates, so let me introduce them all to you!

First of all, we have Tori Chang. Tori is completely new, and her Act 1 has just been released to the public!

Her voicebank can be downloaded here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9ktl6c1byzy55ns
Listen to Tori here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lElrbuv0LXE

Next up, we have Tekui Koe, the sister of Iiki Koe, who we put in the spotlight last week! Tekui is planned to be an append-voice and only her Light-voice has been released yet, so expect more in the future!

Tekui's Light voice can be downloaded here: http://www.4shared.com/file/BSdHJAGJ/Takui_Koe_LIGHT.html
Listen to Tekui and her sister here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mpp22UucEA

And, we have NONI too! This beautiful mature-sounding voice has been released this week, and she really deserves some attention!

NONI can be downloaded here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?wmg0mp8rh9lds63
Listen to Noni here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca31tJf3eZY

Also, we have Shino Baseru. His design might scare you, but his voice is lovely, so give him a chance!

Shino can be downloaded here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?r9e8yeif5sbw7xu
And he can be heard here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRG-_TW5qqA

And now for two voices who have been around for some time, first up is Utake Kochiro. Her Act 2.1 has been released to the public, and that certainly needs some attention.

Download her here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/y74UYgsN/Utake_Kochiro.html
And listen to her here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm8b_0kAFC0

And yes, here he is again: Kurisu Korine got a tiny little update. His English-sounding R-samples are gone and he now has lovely Japanese-sounding samples!

Downloaded the updated Kurisu here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p2w73fybiboluqa
And listen to the update here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXSX9Anqejg


So, that's the voice-update for this week, but we're not done yet! Because we also have two lovely .USTs to present to you, made by members of our forum.

First off is this .UST of Torinoko City, made by UTAUReni. Please credit her when you use it.

And now... It is UTAU-spotlight time! Every week we spotlight one UTAU that resides on our forum and give that one a little more attention than usual. This time, it's lovely Yume Barauta.

Yume doesn't seem to be overly popular, but the fans she has are surely persistent ones! Her voice is usually described as cute, and cute voices are well-loved in this community.

Want to listen to Yume? Here she is!

(Dunno what you just read? Check this out! http://utau.wikia.com/wiki/UTAU_wiki:Introduction_to_UTAU  )

Weekly Overseas UTAU Forum News 1

Before we actually begin this post, I want to redirect everyone who does not know what UTAU is to this: http://utau.wikia.com/wiki/UTAU_wiki:Introduction_to_UTAU

Welcome to the very first newspost of OSUF. Made and powered by the residents of the Overseas UTAU Forum!

Anyway, we are planning to have this news-thing every weekend (sunday or saturday) on our blog, our Figure.fm account and our YouTube-Channel. (Altough the video version won't be as big as the text version.) Why? Because we think overseas UTAUs and their users deserve more attention and credit than they are getting now... But, there's a catch. The information, videos and voices you are about to discover are all from our forum. No other source. Why? Because this is OSUF... Not someone who randomly gets videos from Youtube... So, if you want to get featured sometime... Get postin'! (Yes, shameless self-advertising.)

Moving on to the first subject of this weekend. News from UTAU World!

People have been waiting for this, but it's finally coming, UTAU for on MAC! The program will be called UTAU-MAC (behold the creativity!) and has been announced on the blog of Ameya, the founder of UTAU. Great news for people using Wine, Melodyne or other programs like these. There is a catch (of course) we don't know the exact release-date yet. But, for people wanting to stay alert on this, heree is Ameya's blog: http://utau2008.blog47.fc2.com/blog-category-10.html

The second subject of this week, new releases on voicebanks!

Of course, this week's release-list might be a bit jaded, since I don't remember clearly when everyone was released exactly, but that will be fixed next week.

First voice, we have KANNA. The newest member of the Skeyiloid, with a wonderful soothing voice. This is her release video, a cover of Relics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBWhY-WTDuY
Her voice can be downloaded here: http://www.4shared.com/file/XPg9r8l_/KANNA.html
KANNA's voice is hiragana-only, so she needs to be converted for some users.

Second, we have great Kurisu Koorine (Koorine Kurisu for those preferring last name first). He recently got an Act 2. The video you are seeing is still his Act 1 though, since there is no sample of his Act 2 on YouTube as of yet. It's a cover of Saihate.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT-9bP-G5xI
His Act 2 is downloadable here: http://www.mediafire.com/?j8ghf8tga93jjt4

Third one, amazing Hayao Misakura (Misakura Hayao for those preferring last name first)! He got a new act, Act 3, and a Soft voicebank! Two releases, and his creator is still planning to release his VCV and English voicebanks! You can listen to his Act 3 here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmyHuSykh2Q
His Act 3 is downloadable here:http://www.4shared.com/file/oYAmC4dc/Misakura_Hayao_ACT3.html
His soft voice can be heard here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeiiDE5qlzA
And can be downloaded here: http://www.4shared.com/file/wz4jHmtd/Misakura_Hayao_ACT1-SOFT-.html

Fourth, the lovely Karen Mokkene (Mokkene Karen for those preferring last name first). This deep-sounding female went to Act 2 (A huge improvement!) and can be listened to here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67onIOwoKvI
Her voice can be downloaded here: http://www.4shared.com/file/P-QnUVJ2/Mokkene_Karen_SECOND.html

And lastly, cute and loveable Luna Ichine! (Ichine Luna for those preferring last name first). Luna went to Act 4.2 (because Act 4 was lost) and you can hear her here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmBVE7JMZM4
Luna's Act 4.2 can be downloaded here: http://www.4shared.com/file/86GP0T1x/IchineLuna42.html

So, that's it for recent releases, but we are not done yet! We also have a new release on .UST.

This Chaining Intention .UST has been made by Kenji-B. The song is sung by aGi-Mayu.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taQdgqJm-Hg
The .UST can be downloaded here: http://www.4shared.com/file/wI06XUhN/Chaining_Intention-not-so-huge.html
The pack also includes a .VSQ (for Vocaloid2-users) a MIDI (for Vocaloid-users), a karaoke-file and the lyrics. Please credit Kenji-B when you use these files.

Next, some great videos submitted to our forums last week!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCHrnuSdNHo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkhOIo46-is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eIsFAqpmt0
Please consider watching these!

And now, for the last, and best part of this newspost: The UTAU Spotlight! This week, Iiki Koe!

Iiki Koe (Koe Iiki, for those that I don't need to mention anymore...) is an UTAU from Russia, and part of the Slavik-group. (Her name is iiki, not liki.) Her voice sounds young and cute and her latest Act is v.03.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw_tr0QThFo
Iiki is quite popular for both her voice and design. It is said to be cute and of high quality, something that (sometimes) needs to be searched for in the overseas community. Her character item is a mandarin.

Iiki's Wiki-page can be found here: http://utau.wikia.com/wiki/Iiki_Koe
Iiki's voice can be downloaded here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/IX0l3eWi/Iiki_Koe_v03.html

So, that's it for this week. We hope to see you again next week. Or, even better, to see you around on the forums sometime! Untill then!

(All the UTAUs, videos, songs and other files used in this post belong to their creators. I claim none of it!)
