UTSU - A cross-platform vocal synth frontend

[feelingiconiic]

It's not easy to do, but it's possible. You'll need a program called wine32on64 that lets you run 32-bit programs on the latest Mac versions. The "moresampler.sh" file here has instructions on how to install wine32on64.

Then you can write the following bash script:

#!/bin/bash
LANG="ja_JP.UTF8" wine32on64 "/absolute/path/to/your/resampler.exe" "${@,-1}"

and you should be able to give that script to Utsu instead of the usual resampler/wavtool executable.

I'm sorry to bother you again, but would I just type "#!/bin/bash
LANG="ja_JP.UTF8" wine32on64 "/absolute/path/to/your/resampler.exe" "${@,-1}"" in the usual text box where it says resampler in the project settings?

You can create a new file using TextEdit or your plain text editor of choice, write that code, and save it as a file with a ".sh" extension.

Hi all!

For the last year or so I've been working on a program called UTSU, (unofficially short for UTAU-ish Thingy with Some Updates.) It's similar to the other UTAU clones that have been floating around recently, but I think it stands out because of its relative lack of new ideas and originality. I was inspired by this thread, so the whole project is posted on Github here and will always be completely free.

Here's a demo:



The program was developed and tested on a Mac, but it works on Windows and Linux as well. I'm releasing it in the Alpha phase, which basically means that many features are still missing but it's reached the point where I can add things and debug user issues at the same time.
Instructions for downloading the Alpha version of the software are here.

Spoiler: Here's what Utsu can do for you

- Fully compatible with USTs from Utau and Utau-Synth, in both Unicode and Shift-JIS.
- Fully compatible with voicebanks in Unicode and Shift-JIS, including voicebanks with nested oto files.
- Voicebank editor that can edit/create oto.ini entries, pitch suffixes, and .frq files for a voicebank.
- UST editor that can create notes, resize them, move them around, etc. No rest notes.
- Note properties editor to modify flags, preutter, etc. of a single note.
- Envelope editor with built-in crossfading, in the style of UTAU-Synth.
- Portamento editor in the style of UTAU-Synth.
- In-depth vibrato editor.
- Compatible (in theory) with every existing resampler and wavtool, including moresampler v.0.8.4 or above (download at https://t.co/VSsFZpp0in)
- Comes with a default resampler/wavtool pair that works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
- Can render a song or export it to a WAV file.
- Can modify flags, tempo, etc., of a UST.
- Auto hiragana<->romaji and CV->VCV conversion.
- Can open USTs and voicebanks on multiple tabs.
- User preferences, including custom color schemes.
- ...and more!

Spoiler: Here's what Utsu can't do for you (yet!)

- Time signatures.
- VCV->CV and CV<->CVVC conversion.
- Spectrogram view of voicebank sound files.
- A bulk editor and suffix broker.
- Multitrack. (If you load a multitrack UST from Utau-Synth, Utsu will only load the first track from it.)
- Background music tracks.
- Rendering will be slow for long USTs--this is fixable and I will fix it...
- Support plugins.
- ...and much more ;w;

Spoiler: Here's what you can do to help

You can communicate with me by messaging me on Utaforum or Github, or just posting comments on this thread.

Suggest new features: I'm an UTAU-Synth user, so there are probably a bunch of Windows UTAU features I didn't even think to add.

Translations: The software only natively supports two languages, English and Japanese. Feel free to translate it into the language of your choice! A tutorial on adding new languages (and fixing existing translations) can be found here. Any design help with accessibility features (such as a screen reader) is welcome as well.

Report bugs: I tested with several voicebanks and USTs but no doubt missed a bunch of bugs. If you notice something, please take a screenshot and report the problem by either commenting on this thread or messaging me on Utaforum or Github.

Design: Utsu needs a sleek design, button icons, desktop icons, etc. Ideally I'm looking for a designer who knows how to make mocks and/or can use CSS. I can pay a one-time commision for design help, in the ballpark of $100 or less, but I'm not willing to go much higher because I'm not making any money off this project to pay people with.

Marketing: This includes promoting Utsu to the community, making a wiki/instruction manual, and adding a marketing website. (I own the domain utsusynth.com but have nowhere to point it to.) Again, I can pay a one-time commission fee for building a website and promotional materials. (@Soursop the fruit has agreed to make a website. Thanks!)

can I help with this?
