Rose ~CORDATA~ and Orchid ~INVICTUS~ Review

Today’s review is special! I got a request from Theverrine themselves, the creators of an UTAU i reviewed before...! This has happened a few times with characters I regularly talk about on the blog, but it always feels nice every time. I felt it only right to review these two together since they’re a package deal. If you don’t know already, the pink one is Rose and the blue one is Orchid. 💮

Bio

Orchid

Height: 5'3 (160 cm) Weight: 109 lbs (49kg)

「Orchid, or Maeko Enomoto, is an idol in an idol group duo called CROSS, known for her energetic stage presence and advanced idol experience. She is dating Rose, the only other member of CROSS. If anyone ever met Orchid personally, they should be aware of her two-faced nature, as she can come happy with spark at one moment, but become cold and serious in the other.」

Likes: Rose, Scratch and Sniff Stickers, Okonomiyaki, Jogs Dislikes: Laziness, Paradise, Slow Music, Pickles

Rose

Height: 5'3 (161 cm) Weight: 108 lbs (49 kg)

「 Rose, or Ayaka Tomi, is an idol in an idol group duo called CROSS, known for her mature aura and deep voice. She is dating Orchid, the only other member of CROSS. Despite looking prim and proper in public, she is actually a crybaby klutz who loves to draw horror related images. She used to work as a shrine maiden before she became an idol.」

Likes: Orchid, Candles, Dorayaki, Naps Dislikes: Competition, Ill-mannered songs (will scream in rebellion one way or another), Meat, Stairs

Official Site

The Primus UTAUs finally have a website on Neocities. Downloads are in the respective links on the CHARACTERS page.

INVICTUS is 650 MB and CORDATA is 450 MB after unzipping. Each comes with fully generated frqs. Orchid has some .llsms left over, which I think is causing the higher file size.

First Impressions

Rose and Orchid are two rich and fully featured feminine voicebanks. The UTAU engine noise doesn’t really do them favors, but it gives them some extra energy. Rose is gentler, softer, and more natural sounding. Orchid has a higher, more exaggerated and character-like tone. Both fill a different niche within general feminine UTAU character types while being voiced by the same person.

Configuration

Orchid is recorded at A#3 / C4 / F4 / A#4 / C5 and Rose is recorded at  E3 / G3 / C4 / E4 / C5. Rose’s C5 pitch is labelled as a falsetto. Both also have breathless vowel endings, end and beginning breaths, glottal stops, vocal fry, and English R/L sounds.

Their otos are mostly copy and paste between each pitch with slight adjustments made for the CVVC to work, so nothing crazy going on there. Rose uses 1:3 ratios, while Orchid uses 1:2. It’s important to keep their consonant velocity high with how large the overlap is.

Orchid sounds stranger in lower range while Rose can be pushed pretty far below E3 and still sound good. Orchid I feel is most suitable for Hiiragi-kirai type songs that utaite like to flex their singing skills on.

My recommended flags:  Y0H0F0D10 [Orchid]    b30Y90H0g3 [Rose]

My recommended resamplers: doppeltler, f2resamp, EFB-BS

Final Thoughts

Rose and Orchid are solid additions to your UTAU library. They’re really well made and I will rotate them in my mind often

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

Eueueue colors~

I really like these, oh my goodness. It feels so weird to look at them w/ this design and the colors, cuz they feel like completely different characters. Like, Haphazard and Orchid used to have purple as their main design colors. Shotput had a lot more black/red. Just... wild.

And for context, these are sketches of their normal designs:

Normal Colors:

Don't get me wrong, their old designs are staying put, but I wouldn't be opposed to updating Haphazard and Shotput a bit to fix some stuff I've disliked about their designs.

(Haphazard (right) has always bothered me cuz his design felt so busy w/o a real coherency to it. Meanwhile I gave into giving him a magic hairstyle and I wanna get rid of it lmao-)

Not to mention, I have very little doubt now that Shotput and Light share the same headspace in my brain. Emo w/ orange/yellow hair, a beanie, baggy pants, and the instinct to abandon their troubles and find themselves a date instead.

It’s a good thing you died early. No matter how much I long for the end, The shell-like summer just persists.
