There's probably another tutorial just like this on here, but I thought I'd give a shot at explaining to people how to do VCV. Please watch full screen cause I'm a derp and left the UTAU window small half the time. [utube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab7VzNpGLKI[/utube] (Copy pasta of the video description) I did this tutorial for people on UTAForum since loads always have trouble understanding how to do VCV otos - admittedly, while there are many tutorials, most are really confusing. I hope mine is simple enough. This tutorial isn't for people who haven't a clue what VCV is, or how to use UTAU for that matter. I force you to make a couple assumptions, for which I apologize, but really, if you want to do VCV you need to do your research and understand what you're doing. This is standard voicebank starting and otoing procedure for VCV banks. A tutorial for specialized otoing is linked below, but please have a sense of what you're doing before you follow it. Please note I myself am admittedly a bit new to VCV. If I am wrong on something, please tell me.

I have uploaded Ritsu's old 1.5 otos for you to use. To listen to the strings/go by them, download 1.5.1 here: http://tinyurl.com/3qxkevj ) 5-mora Hiragana Sukone Tei: http://www1.axfc.net/uploader/O/so/147968.zip (pass: tei) 5-mora Romaji Baionoto Kenji: http://www.mediafire.com/?mp97sgupiw8nt97 7-mora encoded in romaji isn't really done. There are other #-mora, but 5 and 7 are the most widely used and easiest. To get rid of extra oto items, such as Rana's Hanamogeras, go to the oto editor, right click on an oto, click the last option (With English patch, "select multi"), select all the uneeded otos by either holding down ctrl and selecting each or click the first then hold down shift and click the last, and then right click and hit the fourth one down, "delete". Note that, if you aren't in Japanese locale, you're going to either have to do 7-mora romaji from scratch or copy a 5-mora romaji if you want to take the oto copy shortcut. Feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand something or had trouble with a link, getting a voicebank, doing something I showed you, etc. And please note I say please note a lot.

...Darn it. You're right. I just tried to provide a direct download link, because Ritsu's website is all Japanese and that's the only place with the download link, but I guess it didn't work. Well, fixed it. I used tinyurl to let me paste the Google Translate to make it easier. |

Thank you ^^ Sorry to bomb you with so much questions and such but does this bank have a password on it? The last time I tried to download the bank from another website, it had a password :x |

Nope. Ritsu just takes forever. XD And, sometimes, it times out. You know this happened when you try and take him out of the ZIP file and it errors and can't do it. All you can do is try again. DX Ritsu did that to me once, but the second time it worked. |

Oh, often your browser/system will block the link (If you're using Internet Explorer) and you have to click on a yellow pop-up blocker to make it let you download the VB. But Rana works too. XD And Rana has the hanamogera syllables folder, AKA intended to record english "r" and "l". Though, I'm thinking Rana might be missing the "vy_" series and maybe "kw_"/"gw_" stuffs. |

I was using Chrome so yeah And she doesn't have the "vy" "kw" etc... It's not really needed unless one was attempting English, Or another language. |

umm... Could someone upload Ritsu on mediafire or megaupload? It's just that my connection is really stupid and slow, and Ritsu keeps timing out on it. =A= |

I don't think one's allowed to redistribute Ritsu's bank. It doesn't say that directly in his usage clause, but... Just use Rana's - if you want those extra syllable strings, just look up Ritsu's reclist and do the missing strings manually. |
