Mandatory "I'm making a singing synth" pre-post post

I was writing something about this but it got too wordy. Don't get me wrong, I want to give you all as many details as possible, but I care very much about being understood and consistent about things (as ironic as that sounds) so I thought I'd give a very short introductory post about it instead of bombarding anyone who would potentially read this with useless information.

Cool, now that that's out of the way, I am making a singing synth.

I am writing the back end (the actual synth part) in Python.

I have no current plans of creating a front end but I have a few options as to how I'm gonna get started on that that I'll update on in the probably very distant future.

I have a shitty demo:


Here's a copy of the description on SoundCloud, which goes over pretty much everything you'd need to know about it:

i completely forgot to post this on here i've been making jokes about it on twitter for the past few months but here's some highlights:
  • no note blending because i'm a coward
  • no pitch bends because i'm a coward
  • no WORLD data caching because i'm lazy, so it takes 3 years to render
  • timing inaccuracy of potentially 5ms per note, with no per-note correction, because i'm lazy
  • it blows up if you so much as look at it the wrong way while using it
  • the only redeeming quality is that i'm using WORLD, which is 100% dope and I love it
i'm still working on it i'll open source the thing when i feel like it lmao....

Fixing .freq Maps

    Okay. I know I probably haven't actually contributed to the UTAU community much, but I know that at least sometimes my curiosity can truly do something good.     So, I made a new UTAU. Several of them, actually. One of them was recorded by a two-year-old girl, which makes it pretty obvious why I would need to go in and edit the .freq files in the editor because just regenerating them really didn't get me anywhere. With one of the ones I recorded, I actually have problems with certain consonants making my voice squeak, thus completely ruining the quality of the vowels. ALL OF THEM.     To fix my problem of not knowing what in the world I was supposed to do in the editor, I turned to the Internet. That was about equally as useful as asking a rock for information would be, so I just tried some stuff until I got the hang of what I was doing. Now onto the actual tutorial!     I'm not going to teach you everything about the fre...

I moved!!

I completely forgot to post about this. I've gotten kinda sick of this platform over the years and wanted to move to something that was more in line with my workflow, so I just made my own website and now I'm posting at 444631.xyz . I started this blog back in 2012 when I was a teenager. I'm almost 27 now, and a lot of things have changed since then. I think the only thing that definitely hasn't is I still love yapping, probably even more than I did back then. That being said, I'm not really doing any of the same stuff I was before (kinda), aside from, like, stuff with audio software. I can't remember if I ever posted about it here, but I'd made a text-to-speech engine and a really simple pure Lua audio library so I could concatenate audio samples or whatever, and I somehow misplaced the text-to-speech engine part of it... but not the audio library part, so I've just kinda been building onto it and making it better for fun whenever I don't have anyth...

Shhh... it's a secret.... here's a Carmine Mini 1 prerelease distribution.......

* Hands you a flash drive * you didn't get this from me. Same rules apply as with Urin Sasaki 3. Use like Urin Sasaki 3. The vb should be in the "Carmine" folder. Fully otoed but like 90% untested. Works best with TIPS  and most WORLD-flavored resamplers. Many known issues in recordings -- recorded in under 10 minutes probably. No audio samples we die like men. Also I'm in the middle of doing some finalization of that dumbshit 5 pitch voicebank or whatever, and more reclist testing (english stuff ya know), I promise I didn't die, just really busy. Byeee
