More UTAU projects~

Still working on Mozaik Role--actually, haven't made any progress on it.
Working on a prototype UTAU. Her name is Yagine Ayu and basically her voice is the child version of KAZUMI's. If I like her enough, she will be ACT 2'd over winter break. If she's too similar to KAZUMI, I'll just scrap her and continue updating KAZUMI into full voicebank + Chinese. If I like her better than KAZUMI, I will scrap KAZUMI and make Ayu my main. :3
(Though I secretly wish I had a male voice so I could make a male voicebank.)
Started working on KAZUMI's Chinese voicebank but it fits Ayu's voicebank better so I might change that.

Songs Unreleased:
1. Matryoshka (KAZUMI ft. Yokune Ruko)
2. Fukai Mori
3. Love is War -clubhouse remix-
4. Tsumugi Uta (KAZUKI)
5. Lion (KAZUMI & Yokune Ruko)

KAZUMI updates & future releases.

First off, I'm working on KAZUMI's official MMD model.
I'm planning on making her head out of two custom girl models; her body out of Gumi, FL-chan, and some other models (probably Piron's stuff).
I'm planning on debuting her model with BeMYSELF, covered by KAZUMI (short version only though.)

When the model is more perfected, I will release Renai Circulation; covered only if I find a good ust or midi for it.

Songs that I have yet to release for KAZUMI
01. Koi wa Sensou -Clubhouse remix-
02. Tsumugi Uta
03. Lilium
04. Mozaik Role

I know I said on my Mozaik Role preview on Youtube that I would finish it by the end of this week, but that's probably not going to happen because I'm a slowpoke and have a short-attention span. LOL.

- - Updates on KAZUMI's oto.ini - - - - - - -
I've been fiddling with KAZUMI's oto.ini and fixed a lot of her sounds except for the overlap/start of note stuff because I still don't get what to do with those. But anyway, KAZUMI sounds great for the most part if you set all the notes to 40ms overlap and pre-utter (and use A LA CARTE note linking). I believe the last version of KAZUMI released had the oto.ini I set for Paradichlorobenzene plus some minor tweaks. The ust for Paradichlorobenezene did not have any linking so I configured the sounds in that song according to ear to make KAZUMI sing more naturally.

- - Future Future Plans - - - - - - - - - - - -
The next time I get back home, I want to expand KAZUMI's voicebank and probably include one or two more languages. As English seems a little complicated, I'll probably do Mandarin and work a little on English, depending on how much I have to record. I will probably never do a VCV voicebank because Kazumi is already pretty smooth as long as you know how to configure notes and her oto.ini according to song. I also plan on re-recording some sounds in her current Japanese voicebank and including appends (higher & lower notes). If you've noticed from using KAZUMI for a variety of songs, she sounds dead singing some songs and she really doesn't respond well to G-flags. Her range is small (just like my real singing voice ;D).

I also want to finish re-recording Shin, though who knows if I actually will since he sounds a hell lot like Len and I don't think more shotas are necessary.

KAZUMI ACT2

Eh, I guess Kazumi 2 should be called ACT2?
I don't really get these terms as usually, aren't they applied to Vocaloid? Ah well.

Here is a new release for KAZUMI {ACT2}.

New updates for this release:
Added a few sounds so that Kazumi can sing Lilium, namely si, ti, tu, etc. Not very major.
Re-recorded a few sounds that were ticking me off. LOL.
Updated the oto.ini -- all sound files should have configured oto.inis. Once again, feel free to alter them to your liking as I honestly have no idea what I was doing. I go by ear & instinct mostly.

Later on this month, I expect to be making a more official release for KAZUMI with new official art.
Oh and a comparison of the two ACTS... though there shouldn't be much difference aside from oto.ini and mic quality.

Art is about 50% done.

KAZUMI 2

Here is her mostly completed voicebank.
... If you ignore how I rushed through most of the oto.ini.

There's still sounds that are not configured, so feel free to configure (or re-configure them) to your content.

Update on KAZUMI~

Yah~ I haven't been doing much regarding UTAUs but since I'm home and hopefully this microphone works much better than the one I used at school, I will be trying to re-record all of KAZUMI's voice files. Hohoho. This is going to be a lot of work.

She might sound slightly different & hopefully better once I'm done re-recording everything, so wish her luck! This might take a few days or a few weeks, but hopefully, it'll be sooner than later.

Well then, until later! :3

PERSONALITY//
Kazumi is super calm & likes to act cool. This is why, when she sings, she usually sounds like she lacks emotion. Her favorite songs to sing are songs with great guitars & bass. Her best ranges are C4 & C5. C3 makes her sound slightly manly and she hates that. Above C5 makes her sound broken. D;

Aside from wearing & loving punk-lolita fashion, she also doesn't mind being dressed in lolita clothes as long as there aren't way too many frills. She also likes Shibuya-kei and visual-kei.

Slightly, narcissistic, Kazumi loves it when people compliment her. She loves her friends but has a hard time showing it & dotes on her "little brother" Shin.

She loves stalking pretty boys & hot guys. Her favorite things are things that are pretty. For example, flowers, butterflies, sparkly stuff, and cute accessories.

She is disgusted by insects but not scared of them. She hates perverts (especially fat old men) & is scared of getting cooties from them. (hah, cooties)

That's pretty much it~! ;D
