It has two main editions: its UTAU prototype, developed +between 2014 and 2015, and its Alter/Ego edition developed between +2015 and 2020. + +* Vocal Libraries +ALYS got several libraries since the project started: +- French Libraries + - ALYS DB 001 FRA :: The first French vocal library made for ALYS. + This library was recorded at the same time as /ALYS DB 001 JP/ but + was later scrapped due to its low quality. Fortunately, the source + files got recovered and are now available for download. + + [[https://labs.phundrak.com/ALYS/ALYS-DB-001-FRA]] + - ALYS DB 002 FRA :: The second French library made for ALYS. It was + made for UTAU and became her first vocal library ever heard. It is + available under the GPL-3.0 license. + + [[https://labs.phundrak.com/ALYS/ALYS-DB-002-FRA]] + - ALYS DB 003 FRA :: Codename /ALYS4AE FR/. This is the first publicly + released French vocal library published along /ALYS4AE JP/. Its + installer as well as a license key are available under the + ~AlterEgo~ directory. + + A modified version of its source files are available under the + GPL-3.0 license under the ~src~ directory. This directory does not + contain anything related to Alter/Ego. They can be used to create + a new UTAU vocal library.

They can be +installed on Windows with their ~.exe~ installer or on macOS with their +~.pkg~ installer found in the ~AlterEgo~ directory of ~ALYS-DB-003-FRA~ and +~ALYS-DB-002-JPN~. Once installed, open AlterEgo either as a standalone +or as an instrument in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) of choice +and drag and drop the [[file:./AlterEgo/VoxWave.png][licence image]] on the AlterEgo interface. +Installing ALYS4AE requires a pre-existing installation of Alter/Ego +itself.
