Man if only there was a male cover of Ang Cariñosa that wasn't a) a Vocaloid/vsynth/UTAU or b) that one English cover.

[linabirb]

most free synthv voicebanks are female. is it an implication that female voicebanks are inferior or is it a win for women

[vocaloid-weekly]

Ooooh really liking the tone on this one.

I keep going insane and writing music and then coming back to reality and realizing its 5 am on a weekday

[cantheykillmacbeth]

Hatsune Miku could kill MacBeth

Yes, Hatsuke Miku from Vocaloid could kill Macbeth!

She applies for all three clauses: Gender Clause due to being a girl; Unconventional Birth Clause due to being a software voicebank; and the Birth Parent Clause due to her creator being male software developer Sasaki Wataru! Thank you both for your submission!

[mentallyderangedrats]

give me some fun facts about vocaloids

1) the first ever computer to sing was the IBM 7094 in 1961! The first ever 'vocaloid song' was Dasiy Bell (thecnicallly it's not an original song its a cover but wtv) and you can find how it sounded here.

2) the first ever male vocaloid produced (KAITO) was considered a commercial failure when he was first released (he only sold 500 units in its first year lmao) , but later after Hatsune Miku's first voicebank was released he became fairly popular.

3) (not a Vocaloid but a UTAU) originally Kasane Teto was made as an April fool's joke, but ended up gaining popularity and after 15 years, she got her own SynthV VB!

4) Almost all voice synths have their own character item! For Miku it's her leek, for KAITO it's ice cream, for teto its baguettes, etc.

Umm I can list more if you want but that's all I can think off the top of my head lol. This was very fun to type out lol

(flower)

I get that Flower isn't canonically confirmed to be queer in any way (by comparison, the MEIKA duo are both stated to be genderless), but come on, what did you expect to happen when you have an androgynous-sounding voicebank that's got designs ranging from "pretty boy" to "omg goth girl" and is NAMED after an androgynous object (sure, people usually see flowers as feminine, but plenty of plants possess both male and female flowers, and some may even have "perfect" flowers which produce both pollen and seeds)???

so, have a Flower except I turned her into a pride flag

(edit: I ended up changing the flower a bit because one of the petals just didn't line up well with the other petals)

Now for our final (and sadly least voted) member of the Big 8, Camui Gackpo!

Gackpo has lost some popularity over time, but he's my favorite male Vocaloid bar none. Sure, he has the tendency to be portrayed as a deviant freak in songs (Duke Venomania is only the tip of the iceberg). Yeah, maybe he's a weirdo at the NicoNico Cho Parties. But his portrayals don't affect the sound of his voice, which can be absolutely stunning. (Being voiced by Gackt certainly helps--) I don't hear a lot of his Native voice nowadays, but with how amazing his Power and Whisper voicebanks are, I don't blame people for wanting to use them. You can even get some decent English out of him if you try, as shown by Minnemi's talkloids.

He is seeing a surge in marketing again as part of Internet Co.'s main trio, but I still feel like he's underappreciated by the larger Vocaloid fandom at the moment. Give the samurai a listen and some love if you can.

Gackpo's base design is basically identical across his artwork, just with a few minor touches for each of his V3/V4 voicebanks. It's not really a design update so much as a vibe change. So, with that said...

[aretheyqueer]

Are they genderfluid?

disclaimer: this is a hc, not speculating on what the writers intentions were.

(I'm a bit uneducated on the use of cis for intersex people so I hope the options are ok)

reason: Ruko is canonically intersex but AFAIK their exact gender is unknown, so I hope this headcanon is valid. For these who don't know, Ruko is a voice synthesizer that has 2 voicebanks, male and female, so I like to imagina that Ruko identifies as male when using his male voice as female when using her female one and sometimes as neither/both.

[fepo-productions]

First chorus finally done. Also, anybody knows another vcv UTAU voicebank that could sing the pre choruses? Preferably male/male-sounding if that's fine.

Cedits:

Utauloid - Fushi Murasaki (Violet)

Voice provider - Yuunarii

Og producer of "Evil food eater Conchita" - mothy/AkunoP

UST provider - MystSaphyr

[bmpmp3]

and another thing about vocal synth fans: we will always find some adult male voicebank to turn into a funny little clown for our amusement. some guy to communally bully in our talkloids, the miserable straightman to the shenanigans, the sad little freak punchline to our jokes. it happened to kaito. it happened to gakupo. it happened genbu. it even happened a bit to kevin (although he seems to have looped around somehow). and it will happen to you too, frimomen. it will happen to you too.

[radio-ghost-cooks]

utau/vocaloid I want to see used more often

I've found that the male/masculine voicebanks are often under-appreciated, and I really love the sound of a lot of them!! my favorites:

Matsudappoiyo (utau)

VY2 (vocaloid)

all of the Zola Project (vocaloids; Yuu, Kyo, and Wil)

Dex (vocaloid)

I'm gonna include Fukase and Oliver here bc as popular as they're becoming, I still feel like they're underutilized (vocaloids)

Longya (vocaloid, CHN voicebank)

Yukone Ruko's masc voicebank!!! people use their fem one a lot but i'd love to see some really skilled masc tuning too!! (utau)

im also gonna include Gakupo bc I feel like he was big in the 00's-10's but I don't see him much anymore (vocaloid)

shuu mawarine (utau)

KYE (utau)

i understand that some of the vocaloids fell out of favor after their voicebanks were never updated, but in some cases it couldn't be helped (like in Gakupo's case; GACKT literally can't sing atm, he developed a serious case of dysphonia about a year ago and several other autoimmunity issues. I feel bad for him :[ )

if anyone has song recommendations for either og songs or covers let me know!!!!

Marzipan [coarse] Review

It’s been so long since I’ve done of these, huh? I really...have no excuse other than the fact I lost most of my desire and drive to make art/covers/UTAU content/etc from 2022-2023. It’s very, very slowly coming back but I can’t really promise the next review will come soon. Regardless, I’ve still been hanging out and just posting whatever UTAU things I find lately. Wait, what was I writing about? Chocolate? Cream? hmm....maybe eating this jar of almonds will help me....

This review was requested by Utaeru.

Listen To A Sample Of Marzipan

Bio

Name: Marzipan (マルチパン) Age: 19 Gender: male Favorite food: Marzipanstollen (german christmas cake) Likes: reading, winter, sleeping Dislikes: coffee Marzipan is a slow and easy-going natural science student. He has a tendency to become hyper when singing or standing up for what he loves, but is quickly worn out when that happens.

Official Site

Marzipan has a website on Weebly. coarse is 117 MB when unzipped and comes with fully generated FRQs as well as some PMK files.

First Impressions

Marzipan has a deep, resonant, soulful baritone voice. With his husky and rough vocals, Marzipan fills a pretty unique niche and is pretty well made to boot.

Configuration

The initial Marzipan voicebank is a CVVC recorded at G#3, D#3, and A#2. Any note above F4 sounds strained by default, which can provide a more realistic flavor, but lowering the octave of USTs is a safe bet and at times needed. He comes with vocal fry, end breaths and inhales, and l/ng samples. Nothing in the oto is really out of the ordinary for a CVVC, but manually adjusting the length of VC notes might be needed if you use autoCVVC to convert. Otherwise, the consonants will last a little too long. Or you could keep it that way for a cute accent. ^^ I did find one mistake, where “mo” was aliased as め. An easy fix, but I was pretty lost by that. But some of my old banks have mistakes like that as well, so I can’t be on a high horse. The exhale breaths sound especially amazing, even if they’re a little loud. As for overall sound, Marzipan sounds a bit like he was recorded in a bedroom with an open door, the background noise gets picked up by most resamplers and makes him sound uncanny. This is regular for most UTAU banks, but any form of noise isolation would help a lot, even just recording under a desk. Because marzipan is CVVC, using him for English sounds pretty solid. Having L sounds helps a lot with that. The glottal stop endings are a little too long and sound almost like vocal fry. I’m also so used to glottal stops in UTAU using hiragana I got bamboozled by his using English letters. His vocal fry is on point too, my favorite thing is overusing it in the end breaths.

My recommended flags: F0Y99C10E20

My recommended resamplers: TIPS, vs4u, doppeltler

Final Thoughts

Marzipan is a great first UTAU attempt, very solid and decently unique. Baritone enjoyers will like him a lot. 4 cakes out of 5.

Got any other UTAUs you want me to review? Send an ask!

i feel like there's something to be said about vocaloid and gender (like the majority feminine voicebanks compared to majority male producers) but i dont think im the person to say it

[poisoned-sugar11]

my favorite thing to do with non-vocaloid fans is play vocaloid songs and make them guess if the voicebank is Miku.

trust me unless its a male and/or very low voicebank theres a chance they'll guess Miku. or theres a chance they'll guess not Miku when Miku is put under specific tuning. cant blame them but also I need to find someone else irl who can tell the difference between Kagamine Rin and Miku cuz everyone keeps saying "Young Girl A" and "Therefore You and Me" uses Miku and i am at a loss for words.

You say that like they won't guess miku when it's a male anyway (<- has seen people do that)
