# My works in vocal synthesis
|
||||
|
||||
From 2011 to 2018, I worked as an amateur and professional in singing
|
||||
vocal synthesis. More precisely, I was creating vocal libraries used
|
||||
by various libraries, mainly UTAU and Alter/Ego.
|
||||
|
||||
## UTAU
|
||||
|
||||
I began working with UTAU first by the end of 2011 on an unnamed and
|
||||
deleted Japanese vocal library. While I didn’t maintain it for long,
|
||||
mainly due to its bad recording quality (I recorded it with a low-end
|
||||
desktop microphone) and configuration, it did teach me the basics of
|
||||
creating vocal libraries and working with audio files.
|
||||
|
||||
In October 14th, 2012, I released my second vocal library, named
|
||||
*BSUP01 KEINE Tashi JPN VCV* which was of higher quality both due to
|
||||
the recording equipment, manner of recording, and configuration,
|
||||
though still relatively average for the time. My best work with this
|
||||
series of vocal libraries was *BSUP01 KEINE Tashi JPN Extend Power*, a
|
||||
high-energy voice made in similar circumstances but with yet again
|
||||
better know-how.
|
||||
|
||||
This series of vocal libraries also featured *BSUP01 KEINE Tashi TIB
|
||||
CVVC* and *BSUP02 Drolma TIB*, the two first Tibetan vocal libraries
|
||||
for singing vocal synthesis worldwide.
|
||||
|
||||
I later created in UTAU *ALYS 001 JPN*, *ALYS 001 FRA*, and *ALYS 002
|
||||
FRA* as prototypes, known as *ALYS4UTAU*, for our upcoming product
|
||||
while working at VoxWave.
|
||||
|
||||
While all these vocal libraries have been discontinued, vocal
|
||||
libraries for *BSUP01 KEINE Tashi* and *ALYS* are available for
|
||||
download. Please refer to the following pages:
|
||||

|
||||
- **ALYS for UTAU**: [Open-Sourcing
|
||||
ALYS](https://blog.phundrak.com/open-sourcing-alys/)
|
||||
|
||||
## Alter/Ego
|
||||
[Alter/Ego](https://www.plogue.com/products/alter-ego.html) is a
|
||||
singing vocal synthesis engine made by [Plogue
|
||||
Inc.](https://www.plogue.com/). ALYS was its first commercial vocal
|
||||
library as well as the first professional singing vocal library
|
||||
available in French.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the architecture and behaviour of Alter/Ego, important changes
|
||||
had to be done to the recording script for ALYS (later re-used for
|
||||
LEORA). Including the development of the new recording scripts, the
|
||||
initial development period for ALYS spanned well over a year, with
|
||||
some additional eight to nine months for its first major update.
|
||||
|
||||
ALYS for Alter/Ego, also known as *ALYS4AE*, is available free of
|
||||
charge as a module for Alter/Ego, and its source files are publicly
|
||||
available since December 15th, 2021. However, in accordance with
|
||||
Plogue, no reciepe for building ALYS for Alter/Ego have been made
|
||||
available.
