How do I import a VCV voicebank?

[CrystalPeach]

Hi! I'm not new to UTAU, but I don't know how to import a VCV voicebank into UTAU manually without using multiple folders for the same voicebank (C4, G#4, etc). I tried doing it via .UAR file, but it never works when I try to install it. Any help would be nice.

Which voicebank are you trying to use?

I have Gahata Meiji's voicebanks: Fairy, Hunter, Lilith, and Fantasy that I wanna use in UTAU.

I don't have experience with that particular voicebank, so I think @Sors will be able to get you set up.

not sure if this'll help, but I own all of Meiji's voicebanks, so maybe i can show you how i've got them installed.

I have UTAU under program files, (some have had issues with UTAU finding voicebanks when UTAU in under program files but i've never experienced any issues) so my directory--for fantasy specifically--pretty much looks like this:

program files > UTAU > voice > Meiji > Fantasy > (then has all her pitches, E5, C4, etc)
​

One thing that should be noted, and maybe you already know this but Meiji's fantasy bank is really just fairy, hunter and lilith packaged together made to work as a single voicebank in UTAU. Although having the banks separately might be easier for a beginner who doesn't wanna have to deal with aliases and working the suffix-broker.

I think if you follow kinda what i've done with my directory UTAU should have no problem locating a voicebank. in my voice folder, i have separate folders for each UTAU, and then in those folders i have different appends. UTAU can locate a voicebank under a single folder dedicated to a specific UTAU if you can locate it the first time. (in UTAU, go to Tools > Option > Bank Regist. > and from there next to the Location space, click select and locate the voicebank you want to use. Then the next time you open UTAU and go to Project > Project Property > you can click the drop down for the voicebank option and the voicebank you linked should be there.) However imo, the easiest way to import a voicebank (assuming it's in the voice folder) is to take the voicebank folder and drag and drop into the UTAU window.

this is so messy;; but hope things work out!!
