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....

Generic Yearly Life Update

It's not, like, terribly unusual for me to disappear for months \ years at a time on here, but I thought I'd give at least a little update as to what I've been doing and what I have NOT been doing because I don't really want to leave anyone hanging, in the event that anyone has been keeping up with my posts.

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

Reclist update four???

I am mostly doing finalization stuff. It's weird to say because I've been working on these two methods for over 5 years (I need to do normal things with my life for once...). This'll mostly go over some minor (major in terms of workload) standards changes and the planned addition of missing items, which there are many of. After all this, it'll just be finalizing the configs, documentation writing and release. And I added a sample :) Standard changes First off, I made a change to the vowel transition standard, which was originally [_Au], changed recently to [_ Au], and is now [*Au]. But because of a more recent issue I am having, I also wanted to change the vowel ending standard. However, it's a hard issue because the most direct, logical course of action would be to change [A -] to [A-]. I'm wanting to do this for compatibility with a plugin, and it's unfortunately a pretty annoying and very nonstandard change compared to my other reclists (which matters...
