Suddenly, a much older 2017 voicebank has appeared!

Lately I’ve gotten even more attention from UTAU users I’ve talked about on here and look up to and that is surreal I’m not going to lie. Today’s UTAU was made by Utautautau, whose plugins I’ve posted about many times on here. I’ve followed his circle for over a year now, and feel honored to be able to look at one of their UTAUs. Also, χπ is pronounced like “keep” in English. The more you know!

Hear a Sample of Gakuto Deshimaru Chi-Pi

Bio

Name: 学人デシマル (Gakuto Deshimaru) Age: 17 Height: About 11 CASIO FX-991ES Plus 2nd Edition Scientific Calculators Weight: About 631 CASIO FX-991ES Plus 2nd Edition Scientific Calculators Birthday: December 16 Sex: Male Character Item: Scientific Calculator Likes: Mitsuha Renko (platonically), Kaiyou Mitsuyo (platonically), Math, scientific calculators, having to wear the same set of clothes (so basically uniforms), Vine, circles, triangles Dislikes: procrastination, regular calculators Personality: A total nerd that has outstanding academic performance, but still manages to have a social life. He's very open and noisy around his friends and would do a lot of things for them. Despite of being extremely self-aware, he's very oblivious when it comes to love.

Official Site

Deshimaru has an official site on neocities. This voicebank is about 100 MB when unzipped and has fully generated frqs. I linked directly to his page, so click the “take him” button under the corresponding voicebank you’d like to download.

First Impressions

Despite being your typical poindexter, Deshimaru has a very deep and powerful voice. It is hurt a little bit by UTAU’s extreme sawtooth noises in baritone/bass register, but that isn’t his fault so I forgive him. Chi-Pi is supposed to be a powerscale, but he’s more powerful throughout. I respect any male singer who records a C4 pitch for his UTAU, but the voice cracks and instability muddles up the power of Deshimaru a bit.

Configuration

Deshimaru is a 4 pitch CVVC recorded at A2, D3, G3, and C4. He uses a very lite reclist (only 50 samples, and that’s including the extras) but is still very comprehensive. There are even alternate pronunciations added like English L and fu/hu samples. Interestingly, each of his recordings is in hiragana but has a letter at the end denoting what set of sounds the sample represents. By now I’m fluent in hiragana, but thanks anyways. He has a wide range, only petering out below D2. He also has glottal stops, vocal fry, and 3 types of breaths. I love it when there’s vocal fry for every vowel combination like he has too. His voice overall is nasal yet still resonant and deep.

My recommended flags: B50h100

My recommended resamplers: TIPS, EFB-GT, w4utau

Final Thoughts

Deshimaru is a compact, easy to use CVVC with a unique voice and tone. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to flesh out their voice library folder!🤓
