Voice details[]

  • Input - Kana encoded
  • System - Microsoft Windows and Mac
  • Optimum - Genre: Unannounced, Range: Unannounced, Tempo: Unannounced
  • 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. Ameya has pitched up the voicebank, which is the same one Utane Uta uses, to have a younger sounding voice in the soprano range.
  • Koe is not packed with UTAU as a default voice bank. However she can be downloaded from the UTAU homepage downloads, under the voicebank section. She does not come from an organic voice source; that is, his voice is 100% machine synthesized.
  • Because of this, and adding the fact that she only has Japanese recordings, Koe is not for beginners. Though some have tried to come up with quality output using him, 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.
