Merisdae has 5 different banks, each named after a phase of the moon - in reference to her name: Merisdae (Moonlight in Varae, the language of the world in which she is from). Each bank has multiple languages in it, in multiple pitches! The pitches are G3, C4, G4, B4, and D5. This results in a total of 101 recorded pitches across all languages, taking into account each of the 4 languages has 5 appends, and each of those appends have 5 pitches (4*5*5=100+1 extra)
To use this bank, simply select the voice you would like to use in UTAU! If you want to use any of the "all_" banks (which are packages of all of the appends for that language), then you have to add suffixes for each append. The suffixes are as follows:
p: -bloodmoon- (Strong, Powerful Voicebank)
s: -bluemoon- (Soft, Whispery Voicebank)
no suffix: -crescentmoon- (Core, Natural Voicebank)
f: -fullmoon- (Deeper, Mature Voicebank)
n: -newmoon- (Cute, Childish Voicebank)
There is also another suffix you can use to manually select the pitch, and override the set prefix.map. If you add " (pitch)" to the end of any sound, then it will be changed manually.
Examples:
[か] would give you crescentmoon's ka, in whatever pitch the prefix map dictates.
[か p] would give you bloodmoon's ka, in whatever pitch the prefix map dictates.
[か p B4] would give you bloodmoon's ka, in the B4 pitch, regardless of the prefix.map.
Usage Tutorials
This tutorial will use her -all_japanese- bank, for explanation's sake.
To begin, start with a CVVC Japanese UST. She can be used with just CV, but that is not her intended use, so do not expect similar outcomes.
If you were to play it as is, it will be her -crescentmoon- bank by default.
Now, if you wanted this to be in her -bloodmoon- bank instead, you would add the "_p" suffix to all of the notes.
Further, if you wanted to specify the pitch G4, you would add the "_G4" suffix.
A sample can end up looking like [か_s_D5] for -bluemoon-'s "ka" in the D5 pitch.

Semi-Commercial? What do you mean?
Merisdae ACT 4 will be a free-to-download UTAU, though I am going to be selling physical copies and commercial licenses on my Storenvy. Because UTAU has played such an important role in my life, I want to make sure that other people have the same opportunities to do well with UTAU and music in general, thus providing it for free. I want everyone who wants to use Merisdae be able to use her, instead of not being able to because they don't have the money, like I did when I joined this community back in 2010.

Merisdae -crescentmoon_japanese- is currently accepting Beta Testers! Please message me for more information.
I am always looking for art! I have concept and official art done for all of her banks (each append has a slightly different design) but I wanted to do a little charity-type thing with it. I want a lot of art for her official release, so I'm planning on saving up money and getting commissions from people who need money for emergency reasons (medical, food, anything that will help the artist out with life). If you are running emergency commissions, or know someone who is, then please let me know! I probably will not be able to do the commissions as of now due to money problems myself, but I definitely will in the future if they are still willing.
