Premise - Vocal Synth #1

Yesterday I finished recording the strings needed for one base pitch of the vocal synth for Mika.

Main Strings (194 lines)

Extra Sounds (51 lines)

Now I just need to configure the strings in UTAU so they start to make sense together as words. I am getting the creator of this CV C list, Yin-P, to configure this for me for $19 or £14.51. He will also be configuring the extra banks I record in the summer.

Configuring the bank is basically programming in how the program reads these sounds to be able to put them together. For example, A simple do re mi sequence such as this:



Actually looks like this behind the scenes:


With the Do sound for example looking like this:


The lines tell the program how to play the sound. So the green line is at the start of the consonant, the red at the start of the vowel, and the blue areas not being played. The pink area is what stays as is, and the white area is whats stretched/looped depending on the length of a note. It's a little like keying an animation, but without the animation.
