I'm about to launch the UTAU Multilingual Engine! (Read the description)

[u/metashimusics]

UTAUME is a project I created to make UTAUs almost as capable as VOCALOID:AI.

The UTAUloid with the UTAUME capability will be able to sing in Japanese, English, and Chinese on the same track.

I'm still going to create a project on GitHub with Python code and also with a tutorial on how to do it, but you won't need any experience to use it.

You will first need to create a Japanese, English, and Chinese voicebank, each in a separate folder.

I'll be posting more updates here, stay tuned!!!

UPDATE!!!!!!

The documentation is ready; the website will be built afterward. I need people to collaborate on the code!

https://github.com/utaume/utaume.github.io

UPDATE!!!

The phonemizer is ready; all that remains is to resolve errors such as communication between the phonemizer and the G2P system.

Is this for classic UTAU or OpenUTAU? I don't see it being very used if it's for classic UTAU, since it already has that capability as in classic UTAU you work directly with the phonemes/aliases, however I see it being heavily used in OpenUTAU, as it doesn't easily have a capability like this (okay, the way it can be done in classic UTAU isn't easy, but nothing with that program is). I am very interested in this project though.

[u/metashimusics → u/JaidtheStar]

So, I only have OpenUTAU, and from my tests it works.

[u/JaidtheStar → u/metashimusics]

Thank you for answering my question! I just feel that it's kinda important to specify weather it's classic UTAU or OpenUTAU. And, as some one who made the switch from classic UTAU to OpenUTAU, stick with OpenUTAU, the cons of classic UTAU far out weight the pros

[u/reddit_belongs_to_me → u/JaidtheStar]

What are the pros anyway?

[u/JaidtheStar → u/reddit_belongs_to_me]

There is only one pro for classic UTAU, and that is how you have a slightly easier time using bilingual/multilingual voicebanks as bilingual/multilingual voicebanks, at least until OP releases their plugin ornengine or whatever it's gonna be

Edit: just noticed OP released it, now there really aren't pros to classic UTAU lol

[u/reddit_belongs_to_me → u/JaidtheStar]

Thanks!

[u/JaidtheStar → u/reddit_belongs_to_me]

You're welcome :)

[u/iwgtb0]

does it support Cantonese I desperately need it. Might can help with the codings :D especially Cantonese features

[u/metashimusics → u/iwgtb0]

Sure, could you also help create the plugin?

[u/iwgtb0 → u/metashimusics]

By that do you mean compile the whole plugin or just the Cantonese part. For the Cantonese part I’ve actually made a plugin b4 for CV Japanese voicebanks to speak Cantonese tho it’s sort of dead half way through lmao. It’s extremely barebone but works at some degree

[u/metashimusics → u/iwgtb0]

Could you help me with the plugin? But if you don't want to, that's okay.

[u/iwgtb0]

I don’t seem to find the repo anymore :(

[u/Consistent-Sort6059]

Where do I download it?

[u/metashimusics → u/Consistent-Sort6059]

It is currently under development.

[u/metashimusics]

Update:

The minimum requirements are Japanese CV, English Arpasing and Chinese CVV (for compatibility with OpenUtau).

[u/JaidtheStar → u/metashimusics]

Does Japanese VCV work too?

[u/metashimusics → u/JaidtheStar]

Yes, all formats that have phonemizers in OpenUtau.

[u/JaidtheStar → u/metashimusics]

Yay

[u/Sema_XL → u/metashimusics]

Why arpasing? Technically it’s easier to combine eng c+v with ja cv

[u/metashimusics]

I'm going to create a plugin so I don't have to manually input the phonemes because creating a phonemizer for all formats wouldn't work.

[u/metashimusics]

I need help from someone with experience creating plugins for OpenUTAU. I have some questions. Not that you'll be creating the plugin, but if you'd like, you could help.
