Utane Uta (唄音ウタ (うたねうた)), also known as Defoko (デフォ子 (でふぉこ)), is a preinstalled voicebank for the UTAU program.

History[]

Uta Utane was the default and first vocal available for UTAU. Uta's voice was derived from the voice synthesis software AquesTalk. Because she is the default voicebank in the standard-issue UTAU installer, she is also known as Defoko.

Concept[]

Uta is a Japanese robot with the appearance of a young female humanoid. Her birthday is allegedly February 5, which was the beginning of the UTAU project in 2008. She has a cool and friendly personality, but her alleged bullying towards Momo makes her unpredictable. She appears lonesome and melancholic. Her eyes are usually half opened.

Etymology[]

  • Utane (唄音) - Singing Sound.
  • Uta (ウタ) - Song.
  • Defoko (デフォ子) - Default Child/Default Girl. "-ko" being a common suffix for female Japanese names. This is because of her presence in the standard-issued installer of UTAU, making her the default voicebank.

  • Headgear: Purple beret that says "UTAU" on the side.

  • Details - There is a single voicebank that is called "AquesTalk Female-1," which is distributed for free by Aquest.com, Ameya has been granted special permission by the company to feature their software in UTAU.
  • Uta is packed with UTAU as a default voice bank. She does not come from an organic voice source; that is, her voice is 100% machine synthesized.
  • Because of this and adding the fact that she only has Japanese phonemes, Uta is not for beginners. Though some have tried to come up with quality output using her, this is no easy task, due to her excessive airiness, or lack of voice clarity. Users can attempt to overcome voice quality issues through tweaking of note flags in UTAU.
