ACT 2; Postponed

Yeah so, just a quick blurb.

Kurumi's ACT 2 (triphonic) voicebank has been postponed. The fantastic microphone that I was using to create it broke, and until I get another one that has the same amazing quality, I will not be continuing her voicebank. It WILL be out eventually, but there is no way I can have an estimate of when.

In the meantime, feel free to re-download her ACT 1 voicebank, as BETA breathing and gasping files have been added, as well as several muti-note files. I was originally going to add the muti-tones to her ACT 1 voicebank, but then I discovered triphones and I decided there wasn't much sense in doing both. Therefore, I started adding them in, but never finished. They may not all be formatted using her oto.ini, so you will have to format them yourself if you want to use them.

New Voicebank Update [IMPORTANT]


Hello everyone =]



As you can see, I've finally decided to create a blog for Kurumi. Quite a few UTAUloids have had blogs created for them, and I figured Kurumi was missing out. So here you are~ I probably won't be posting too much here, but what I do post here will be good, like new voicebank updates, song requests, and other related stuff.



By the way, I am officially accepting song requests for Kurumi. If you want her to sing something, just send me a message on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/yorunai).



Anyways, now down to business. The main reason I created this blog in the first place is because I want to let you all know that Kurumi ACT2 will be coming out. I don't know when, because I haven't actually started working on it yet (other than fixing her oto.ini file,) but you can probably expect it's release in about a month.
Sorry, I'm lazy =]



ACT2 will have an improved oto.ini file, as well as two breath files (she breathes!! O.o) and two gasping files. Since a lot of VOCALOID songs include screaming of some sort, there may also be triphonic files for screaming. These files will be named: br1, br2, gsp1, gsp2. The scream files (if I make 'em) will be called sc will triphonic arrows. I may also replace some of her current sounds, a few of them are a bit off O.o


Speaking of which, another update to Kurumi's voicebank that I will be working on will be tripohones, and that will also be why the contrsuction of ACT2 will take so long. Before a while ago, I didn't know what a triphonic voicebank was or why it was useful, but I recently download Teto's voicebank to take a look at it, so I could try and improve Kurumi's oto.ini. After all, Teto's oto.ini file is extremely well made =] And so now I'm working on triphones for Kurumi.

Finally, ACT2 will include several files for making Kurumi sing in English =] I speak English, so why shouldn't she? The English will probably look a little confusing to the unexperienced UTAU user, but I will write up a tutorial on how to use it once it's done =]


So there you have it. Kurumi's updates-in-progress.


Also, just to let everyone know, I'm currently working on vsqs/usts for Alice in Dreamland and Megurihime Buyouyoku, so expect to see those floating around on Youtube in the future~
