Strange voicebank files

These samples are stringed samples! They are used for voicebanks that are either VCV or CVVC configured; Such voicebanks are used differently from your standard CV voicebanks, which just have samples like "ka" or "yu."

If the voicebank is a VCV voicebank, then the samples are aliased as, for example, "u ふ." It's the vowel of the previous sample(use "-" if there is a rest before it) and then the kana of the next syllable Some usts are already made for VCV banks, while others are just CV. To make things easier, I recommend getting a CV to VCV and viceversa converter plugin.

CVVC voicebanks are a little more complicated if you have one of those. Those tend to be aliased with normal CVs, and then the VCs tend to be written like "a k," with the vowel of the previous note first and then the consonant of the next CV next. I'm going into too much detail about it since doubt you have any CVVC banks, but you might.

This is just a short little explanation of why those files are like that. I could go into depth about how VCV is supposed to work, but I figured that a little explanation can hopefully clear things up and help you use them

Good luck!
