Hello! I'm a Vocal Synth Dev that primarily focuses on UTAU related projects. 2 UTAU characters of mine are アノネ (Anone) and エットネ (Ettone). Thir voices come from the same set of recordings and can be activated by applying the g12 or g-7 flag respectively. Their main bank, named TAKE ONE, is my interpretation of the Rentan CV VB style. It uses Hiragana CV USTs but produces results similar to a VCV bank thanks to the recording style and specific oto configurations. Here's the voicebank in action!
I turned the Traditional CV version of Anone, iine, and Ettone's TAKE ONE VB into a Lazy VCV version!
Lazy VCV is a method I came up with that allows VBs that are meant for CVVC or Rentan CV to use VCV USTs!
The otoing method is very similar to how I oto Rentan CV, just with different base values.

The normal version of TAKE ONE is due for an update too. See you then!
It's February 5th so happy 14th birthday Defoko! This time I updated the oto edit I made for her v1.0 bank. I decided to cover the first ever UTAU original song to showcase it!

アノネ, イーネ, & エットネ's TAKE ONE VB has been updated!
The bank has been separated into the 3, 1 per character, for convenience. The g12 and g-7 flags are still needed to activate Anone/アノネ and Ettone/エットネ respectively. Otherwise, iine/イーネ will sing for all 3 banks.
The updated oto for CV aliases makes them much easier to use in Hiragana CV USTs. Beginning Notes [- あ] ＆ VCV vowels [a あ] still need to be activated manually or with the AutoVCV button.

アノネ, イーネ, & エットネ's True Traditional CV VB has been updated! It's a 1-mora CV bank, recorded at C4 (default) and A3 (Soft), in which its oto uses silence before the sample to simulate VCV transitions. The main purpose is to make the most out of such a limited VB type. I initially released it with just a C4 pitch in June 2019 and have been improving it ever since.
This update adds an E.V.E.C. inspired feature called Extra Color/EC!

It's February 5th in Japan now so happy birthday Defoko! I updated the oto edit that I released 2 years ago. I learned a lot about otoing since then and she sounds much smoother now.

If anyone's curious, here's an archive of my old covers. Most of them are from 2015. https://clyp.it/user/zjtglave
Yesterday was my 6th anniversary of using UTAU! To celebrate, I made a short cover using one of my favorite UTAU voicebanks, 水音ラル/Mine Laru. https://soundcloud.com/shigane/sotsugyou-desu-ne-short-ver-mine-laru-query #UTAU
Here's the voicebank's download link and samples! The user manual is in the readme file but it also comes in UST form. Please look at both of them before using!

You may have noticed that there's a 3rd voice in both the demo and user manual videos. That voice's name is イーネ! They're the bank's default voice, or the voice that sings when no g flag is applied.
This bank was originally released on March 27th, 2019 and I've been adding features to it ever since. Along with Hiragana CV aliases, there's full support for the Japanese language with ん variants (such as [んng] [んm]) and VCs ([a k] [a s] ) & standalone consonants [(- k] [k]) for certain phonemes.
Also, I've created new features such as Middle Notes [か2] and Helper Notes [か3] to make transitions between notes smoother. A user manual is included with the VB. Here's a condensed version!

Deleted my intro because it was outdated. Will post an updated one as soon as I can!
TT CV (short for True Traditional CV) is an otoing method I created in order to get the best results out of Traditional CV VBs. I'll post a full guide eventually but in the most simple terms, the oto uses silence before the mora in order to simulate VCV transitions. Traditional CV banks will always have traits that separate it from VCV banks, but the goal is to make the most out of the limited resources of 1-mora CV banks. I released a VB showcasing this method. https://soundcloud.com/shigane/anone-ettone-tt-cv-vb-release
Happy 12th anniversary UTAU! To celebrate 12 years of UTAU and Ameya's return, I made an oto edit of Defoko's very first bank. It's based on my TT CV oto method which adds lots of new features!
