How do you merge 2 voicebanks?

[Anonymous62034]

Hi, Anonymous62034 here I'm making 2 new voicebanks, and they're going to be multipitch VCV. I want to merge them, since one will be soft, and another is going to be a powerscale, to get soft tones when I want them. In the soft bank, the fist pitch has no alias, so it's blank. I put it in a folder called "弱". I also aliased the syllables with the name of the folder, but the files as a whole had no suffix. It won't register... So, how should I do this? For the powerscale, should I just make all the pitches have names and make the soft bank the one with no alias? Sorry if this is a bit mixed up, I'm not very good at explaining...

Not entirely certain what you're trying to ask, so I'll try to explain a method of merging two multipitch banks.

(Note: I personally prefer letters over kanji, but use whatever you like.)

Let's say you have a folder like
>soft
>>G3
>>C4
>>F4
and a different folder like
>power
>>G3
>>C4
>>F4

Just in case that UTAU only finds the first layer of folders, we could rearrange it like this.
>voicebank
>>S_G3
>>S_C4
>>S_F4
>>P_G3
>>P_C4
>>P_F4

Then, for each folder, we can use a mass file renamer (you could try looking on AlternativeTo) and run a find+replace operation to change it from ".wav" to "suffix.wav"

Then we'll edit each OTO with the find+replace operation, so the filenames match.

On UF somewhere there's an OTO suffixer, for the aliases. If you already have aliases, I think you'll be able to delete it with the tool. If that doesn't work, manually edit the oto and use a find+replace of "suffix," with ","

The bank should work as intended now, but feel free to configure a prefix map. (Tips and tricks: Prefixing a lyric with ? will make it use a suffix-less sample, ignoring the prefix map. Manually entered suffixes will also override the prefix map.)

Oh jeez... This looks fun XD I think I figured it out though Thanks so much for your hep, and sorry for my muddled description >n<
