Hey Guys~

2011-05-08T16:15:00.000-07:00

So sorry about all the delays and stuff. I know I seem to say that allot, but this time I have a valid excuse! :D
My house is gone! :D
Like, no kidding, my house is gone!
My laptop was busted and tablet lost, sooooo....can't work for now :T
Well, I'll update this more later~

ACT2 Finally released!!!!

2010-10-14T09:51:00.000-07:00

Finally, after all this time! ACT2 is finally released! ;;;AA;;;;;
For now, only ACT2 ~Light~ has been released, because I want the full ACT2 to be released with ACT2 English and German phonemes. The only thing keeping me from releasing the full version is Hahenko's German is missing a few phonemes. Soon, my peoples, soooon~~~

ACT2 ~Light~ Includes all the basic Japanese phonemes, with a few extra ("va, fu, tu"). The full version will have pitch shifts (the up and down arrows you see in some voice banks). English phonemes are VERY usable now, and even more understandable! I should be releasing a preview soon. I was working on an English triphone list that worked very well! I got about 30% done with it, but then I saw Sango312 (Neko Kanochi's creator) was making one, so I figured it would end up being more mainstream than my list, so I'll just wait for hers.

German is pretty rough sounding right now, especial since I can't get the sounds right it seems. I think I'll ask Yoru to help me with compiling a list later, since he was going to create German triphones at one point.

Another drawback is that this morning my computer wouldn't start up. It really sucks, since I had just gotten Taisei and Hahenko's FULL triphones recorded and 50% configured. I'm pretty sure I can recover the information from my laptop, but it will take a LONG time, probably. Anyway, hopefully I can get everything fixed soon~

During the meantime, I'll be either reconstructing this blog, or setting up a new site on zazzle. I want to make a whole download section for voicebanks and the such, with scroll over text that displays in Japanese, for Japanese users who are looking to download things.

Little update on the situation

2010-08-27T14:45:00.000-07:00

Well, school started, which means I'm usually too tired or busy to do anything with UTAU. But I have completed ALL of ACT2! The only thing I'm doing now is finishing their avi pictures. All I can draw is really moe stuff though, so it makes Taisei look kinda weird >.>;;;

To compensate for the wait, I finally finished Taisei's short triphones I made a LONG time ago for his 1.5 voice bank! THey should be sufficiant enough for the time. I've already recorded his FILL TRIPHONES (uhg >.>), which I work on when I'm bored or something. J is recording the rest of her short triphones too, to match, but she's having a bit of a hard time, because of her English accent.
PREVIEW!

Hope you enjoyed ^^

Taisei ACT2 Preview!

2010-07-29T13:08:00.000-07:00

Yup, here's Taisei's ACT2 Preview, as I said his next video would be~

Sounds great to me! Well, I would type more and stuff, but my anxiety is acting up again, so I can't think to say much~
Also, Hahenko was included in another of Moumosa's chorus! She forgot to put her in the tag, so that's why you many not see her if searched~

Very soon, ACT2 will be released! @_@ I can't wait! but work still must be done! Japanese is now 100% done on both! English is 100% done on both also (but I might add more before this is over~)! The only thing left to do is the German recording. I compiled a possible list for German phonemes, but it's not very complex and pretty basic, so don't be expecting some awesome sounding German there.
I'll try to either upload their VB first, or a German preview next! Sayanara~

ACT2 Preview + Chorus!?

2010-07-01T11:16:00.000-07:00

Yesh, Hahenko's ACT2 Preview is up! She sounds really good and I have to complement J on her beautiful voice! The Japanese phonemes are done and the English is just nearly done. The German reclist is also nearly done too!

I also made her ACT1.5 vb sing the Fireflies song in English~

She sounds aight. But her ACT2 English sounds MUCH better! :D

Also, thank you moumosa12 for using Hahenko in your chorus! :D

I think he used her ACT1.0 vb, which is why it might be hard to hear her. But nontheless, I enjoyed seeing her used ^^

Bye~

Lalala, some pretty sounding UTAU's I found and love!

2010-06-17T20:12:00.000-07:00

So, I fixed some stuff on here, like the downloads section and stuff.....when I feel like being creative, I'll let you know (-_____-)

Anyway, I found two UTAUloids I though sound delicious! The first is Jimine Otose! Allot of Oversea utau users are saying her voice is "Generic Woman voice", but I think their jealous! Her voice is very original, and very pretty for soft songs, like Hahenko, but has a robotic edge to it. I want her and Hahenko to duet! :D

From the same author as Jimine, HARU, comes a very smooth sounding male UTAU named Yamamoto....I think....I translated it myself so I dunno....Anyway, he sounds awesome, but I don't really know where to get his voicebank! >.< Oh well, here he is~

UHHHHHHHH!!

2010-06-02T19:01:00.000-07:00

Dang, I forgot to update this thing...... :/

Weeeeeellll.....I really haven't uploaded anything more lately....just a couple more songs, but nothing of note.
I made a birthday present for Siene Kotone, cuz I was in a good mood! :D
I'm not grounded anymore either, so maybe I can make more stuff. All those unfinished ust's....it's hard making ust's! D:

Uhhhhm.....I'm making a PV for Hahenko's cover of Coward Montblanc.....and Taisei and Hahenko ripsinc models, but I don't really get ripsinc editor, it's a big pain in the ass....

So.....bye! :D

Grounded D:

2010-05-16T16:18:00.000-07:00

I've been grounded from the computer for nearly 3 weeks D:
During this time, I've worked on many art works and snuck on to make a few covers for songs. Hopefully I'll be ungrounded VERY soon (when that D in math is an A! >:( ) And thus can upload Anti the Holic, Beautiful World Chorus, and other things....:D
Oh and yet again, I'm going to try my hand at 3D modeling with 3DSMAX....wish me luck -_-

First UST done, a million more to go!! D:

2010-04-20T19:21:00.000-07:00

I finally uploaded my first ust and posted the video. I'll make a downloads section on here later >.>
now I can finally update this thing! :D

I think I did decent '*'

This is probably the BEST Taisei has ever sung! I'm proud and amazed! :DDD

And here's the first ACT 1.5 duet between Hahenko and Taisei. I think it sounds ok. Could have done better. Especially with the art >.<

I also made Hahenko and Ayane Wakana duet before the update. I strongly suggest you listen to it too! ^^

Updates

2010-04-05T14:51:00.000-07:00

I lied but told the truth at the same time. I finished a couple ust's, but haven't uploaded them yet.
I've updated Hahenko and Taisei's vb now. They sound so much better! Please take a gander (listen?)!~

The blog will be going under construction. I'll leave it up, though, throughout the construction, because of the new downloads that are up. Please don't panic, lol.

I've uploaded a couple songs to youtube (including one, terrible, original song, lol). Please check them out! :DDD

Me -_-

Ask me anything

Derpp

2010-03-15T10:52:00.001-07:00

Aight! So I need to post allot of stuff soon! I got allot of songs done with no art! -_-
I might ask some friends on deviantART to help with a couple pieces, and I might even ask my cousin to do one (even if his style is realistic and not anime)

In my next blog post, there should be at least 2-3 songs uploaded, artworks, and maybe some completed ust's~

Also, I need some other UTAUloid creators to follow me o.o

Oh yah, I'm doing a revamp of both my UTAUloids vb, cuz Taisei sounded too bored, and Hahenko....something was bothering me about the way she sounded. So, the next update will be to 1.5 and have updated english, more and fixed Japanese, and sound ALLOT better. Everytime I try to make Hahenko's new voice sound better, though, she ends-up sounding like Ritsu D8
Ah, well....try try again!

News

2010-03-04T18:28:00.000-08:00

Nearly got Envy. ust finished, cuz I discovered a newer technique.
Changed their names. It is now : Taisei Nemurine and Hahenko Urooboene. I'll update the meanings later...
I also updated the download links. I fixed some of the .oto's. They now work better. Yawn. I have Biology exam tomorrow, so I really should be studying. Until next time!

Technical updates and name changes?

2010-03-01T14:56:00.000-08:00

Well, my laptop is fixed (I think) and without reformatting too! Woot!
I can now continue to make songs~

Info on the name situation: I know Hahenko and Taisei is still going to be their first names, but their surnames will probably be changed. Apparently, Kenboushou is negative in Japan, and Ippan is very underused and really not used for what I intended.

Song UST's!:
Yes, I'm currently working on quite a few ust's. Here's a list and a % of completion-
Psychopath-Megurine Luka 30% (produced a chaotic midi. I'm cleaning it up right now. First part of UST is produced)
.envy- Megurine Luka 10% (produced chaotic midi. Currently cleaning)
For a Dead Girl- Megurine Luka 5% (chaotic midi)
Catchball- Potemayo 70% (need to spruce-up UST)
Irodori No Nai Sekai- Yousei Teikoku 20% (chaotic midi. Cleaning)
You Spin Me Right Round Round- Dead or Alive 60% (UST spruce-up UST)
ETERNAL BLAZE- Nana Mizuki 50% (UST in production)
My Will- Inuyasha 50% (vocals captured. UST in production)
No Logic- Megurine Luka 10% (produced chaotic midi)
Stardust Utopia- Megurine Luka 90% (Needs to correct lyrics. I know theirs already a UST for it, but it's not to be widely distributed, so I'm making my own :D )
Bird of Paradise- Kagamine Rin 5% (made chaotic midi. Haven't worked on it though)
Scarlet Moon- Megurine Luka MEIKO 5% (produced chaotic midi)

I know that's a LONG list, but hopefully I'll have them all done sometime!
Oh yah, and I'm starting to record some triphonetics! Wow, lots to do! Well, off to the old grind!

MathieuxTaisei-Magnet

2010-02-24T15:16:00.000-08:00

In the meantime, I'm using my grandma's computer! I made Taisei sing Magnet with Mathieu, who's name I can never spell right >.<

I'm thinking, as soon as this name stuff is fixed, I'll be uploading to Nicovideo too! That means most video's I post here will forward to Nico as well, since it's much MUCH better than Youtube (>.>)
I've still got many more songs finished, they just need artwork! I'm also still working on those .ust's of Psychopath and a bunch of others. Until then~

Problems

2010-02-19T19:36:00.000-08:00

My main computer is being really gay lately, and is constantly freezing-up, forcing me to restart. It's not a virus or anything, buuuuuut I'm probably going to have to reformat, and back-up all my stuff, which will take a LONG while.....buhhhh.....

On the upside, I've made about 3 or 4 more songs with Taisei and Hahenko and someone else's UTAU in a different duet, which I think sounds really awesome. As soon as my computer's fixed, I'll be finishing-up the art and putting them up!

On another downside, I found out the Kanji/Katakana for both my UTAU makes no since in the UTAU wiki, and I'm trying to get that fixed. Japanese people, please don't hurt me.

FINALLY RELEASED~~!~!!!!!~#@@#

2010-02-13T15:22:00.000-08:00

Lol, freak out. Finally released my UTAUloids after about a year of production! Here's their first video/duet~

And here's Hahenko's first full English released song. Remix is complements of the awesome Loudcore (Thanks for keeping me entertained while we were bored at that party, lol)-
