#arpasing

Starting with this one:

This is a simple phoneme-based ARPAsing list I've made. It's a 3-mora list, and contains only standard ARPAsing phonemes ( + an optional "dx" addon list ) with full diphone coverage.

It has "index" and "no index" variants ( the "index" list is recommended if using moresampler to generate a base, due to sample priority ). While is has no extra phonemes, it is meant to be friendly for non-rhotic accents as well, as there should be enough instances of r-colored vowels to act as contextual duplicates.

In addition, it also comes with comment files that transcribe ARPAsing phonemes to SAMPA(DELTA-style), VOCALOID SAMPA, and VCCV, for those more familiar with other formats.

There is also an IPA Transcript, primarily meant to act as an alternate script for more experienced singers, who may be familiar with IPA, but none of its' adjacent phoneme formats, or SVS in general.

The default list ( without the dx addon ) is 516 samples. However, there is an even shorter ( optional ) reclist for additional pitches as well, that cuts out a lot of sounds that don't change much recorded at other pitches. The idea being the base pitch layer of a voicebank uses the "default" list, and the "additional pitches" list is used for the rest of them. The "additional pitches" list is 345 samples. That said, you can use the default list for all pitches too.

If you don’t know oto adjuster, go get it here

I also have a SetParam plugin version

Oto Adjuster has been updated to support Regular Expression patterns for inclusion and exclusion filtering, so you can filter it to only use end breaths or something, but you see, I know RegEx quite well so… You can use it for anything, to be blunt.

NOTE: I'd rather you not look at this post in the Dashboard, so please go to my blog itself!

Here are some oto adjuster filters for Arpasing

VC + V ends

Inclusion: ^[aeiou][aehorwxy] Exclusion:  [aeiou][aehorwxy]

Crossfade V (no suffix)

Inclusion: ^[aeiou][aehorwxy]$

VC

Inclusion: ^[aeiou][ehorwxy] [bcdfghjklmnpqrstvyz][ghx]?

CV

Inclusion: ^[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvyz][ghx]? [aeiou][ehorwxy]

VV

Inclusion: ^[aeiou][aehorwxy] [aeiou][aehorwxy]

VC + VV + V ends + Crossfade V

Inclusion: ^[aeiou][aehorwxy]

CV + VV + Start V

Inclusion: [aeiou][aehorwxy]

CC

Inclusion: ^[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvyz][ghx]? [bcdfghjklmnpqrstvyz][ghx]?

C ends

Inclusion: ^[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvyz][ghx]? -

V ends

Inclusion: ^[aeiou][aehorwxy] -

Start V:

Inclusion: ^- [aeiou][aehorwxy]

Start C:

Inclusion: ^- [bcdfghjklmnpqrstvyz][ghx]?

I have not tested them fully, but hopefully they work!

I forgot to add the general patterns, so here they are!

Vowel Pattern: [aeiou][aehorwxy]

Consonant Pattern: [bcdfghjklmnpqrstvyz][ghx]?

Diphthong Pattern: [aeo][wy]

If you want to adjust the diphthongs only, just change the vowel pattern to it, and if you want to filter monophthongs only, put it in exclusion!

You might prefer to only filter out if the crossfade part is the diphthong. Just add ^ before the filter and it will only find it when it's at the start!
