I dowloaded a UTAU but I think the oto.ini got corrupt. How do I fix this?

I'm on Mac and I don't know what computer the person who made this bank uses.

it looks to be a locale issue. im not too knowledgeable about utau-synth, but on pc, when letters are displayed incorrectly and replaced with symbols and such, its usually a locale issue. for some reason, it also appears that the voicebank hasnt been configured at all. whered you download this?

it was on media fire, a file sharing website. I think that's the name. Also im not on UTAU-synth, im on Openutau. Probably should have specified that. Openutau has an encoding option when you install a singer and it didn't look all wonky when I did that, but I can try re-installing.

How did you install the bank? Did you drag and drop into OpenUtau? And did you doublecheck under "singers" that it's set to the right encoding? Unzipping on Mac inside Finder is a crapshoot, but OpenUtau usually gets it right.

I dropped the zip file in and didn't check if the encoding is right, where can I see if its right?

Tools - Singers - (the utau you're checking) - hit the gear - Set Encoding - And odds are it's Shift-JIS, but you can check each one until it works.

oh, on Mac if an oto.ini file is in the ansi encoding and it has Japanese characters in it, it will display all the characters like that. it should be fine tho

I think this may be a misunderstanding on my part because this screenshot is from a manually opened oto.ini with textedit on Mac, so Openutau can read it but my Mac still can't. That being said all the oto.ini settings are 0 and the reason ive fiddled with it in the first place is because all the resamplers except worldline are behaving in the same strange way. It's extremely choppy, not as in from one note to another being rough. If I lay down one long note it's like the voice sample kind of replays instead of stretching across the specified note properly.

I'm not 100% what you're getting at, but TextEdit is for sure bad at reading encodings, as when I open a Shift-JIS in TextEdit it turns to mojibake. I do not believe Mac has a locale setting like Windows, which is an ongoing struggle for me and I end up configuring UTAU banks on Windows bc of it. Mac hates any language that isn't the one it was set up in, so tread carefully.

But the choppiness is likely from the Oto being unconfigured, which in short means.... they didn't oto the bank. Oto files tell UTAU the timings for files, so if it has the wrong timings, it will end up sounding bad. That is out of your control, unfortunately! You can Oto it yourself, but that's your choice. It's time-consuming, and quite the commitment for an UTAU that isn't your own.

I'll totally OTO it myself (it's a spinning OIIA bank and I love the meme) im just glad I know what's wrong. Thanks

yeah ik it is opened in textedit, it will look like this if it has Japanese characters. if it doesn't, and it looks like actual Japanese characters, the oto is in the wrong encoding. utau and openutau will still read the oto in the picture.
