Hi again, guys. Noob here.
Okay, so. I'm trying to figure out how to use CVVC voicebanks (specifically Japanese banks). But I keep running into issues. So I just want to make sure I understand the basic concepts correctly first. So. How exactly does CVVC work? I thought I had it figured out, but I don't know anymore.
Originally I thought that CVVC basically worked like a combination of a CV bank, a VCV bank, and consonant transitions. So I assumed that it would be possible for a CVVC bank to work with a VCV UST, and that you could modify consonant transitions and the like from there.
But now I'm confused, because some CVVC banks seem to work just fine on VCV USTs, others don't. And it seems to vary even within voicebanks. For example, Number Bronze's core Beach CVVC works just fine on VCV USTs, but if I use the Shell append via suffixes, only one out of every 10 notes or so will actually play. And if I try the Wave append, even the single note that worked with the Shell append won't play. Why could that be? Is this something that's specific to Number Bronze voicebanks, or am I just horribly misinterpreting CVVC in general? What am I doing wrong here?
