Takayuki Ryou

Takayuki Ryou (隆行遼) is a Japanese voicebank in development for the DeepVocal2 engine and voiced by Oscar Sprangers (sour_supreme).

Takayuki Ryou is set for a March 2021 release.

History[]

Takayuki Ryou initially began development in the summer of 2018 for the UTAU engine. Several test voicebanks were developed for the UTAU engine, with an extremely closed beta occurring later in the year.

With the announcement of DeepVocal in July 2019, development on the UTAU voicebanks was halted in favor of the DeepVocal engine. It is unknown if the UTAU voicebanks will ever be released.

While Takayuki Ryou was scheduled for a 2020 release, more work had to be done on the voicebank. Also the announcement of DeepVocal2 caused Ryou to be delayed even further to prepare the voicebank for the updated engine.

Character[]

Takayuki Ryou is humanoid robot of unknown function and origin. They fly through space, alone, traveling from one planet to another. Their intention is unknown, however they have been known to sing. Is this something they were programmed to do? Perhaps they came from or have been engrossed in a society where its inhabitants sing to each other? Ryou’s voice seems to calm those around it, as well as themself.

Etymology[]

隆行 (Takayuki) means "moving to heights". 遼 (Ryou) means "distant". Together, their name means "moving to distant heights".

Appearance[]

Takayuki Ryou's design consists of a gray spacesuit with purple accents, chunky gray sneakers with a green band around them, and a pink/purple coat. The space helmet (though redundant seeing as Ryou is non-human) has built-in headphone speakers on either side. There are also bright green belts that run along both of their arms.
Takayuki Ryou's hair color is purple and its darker at the roots and lighter towards the ends. Their right eye is purple and their left eye is blue. Underneath their eyes are two blue triangular marks.

Genre: Rock, pop, EDM Tempo: 60-190BPM Range: E2~F#4
Basic Information
Takayuki Ryou's Japanese voicebank has four pitches. The lower pitch is huskier and softer, the middle pitch has a cool midrange tone, and the higher pitch has a sharper, brighter tone. The fourth pitch is a falsetto pitch (which can be activated using the "Timbre" parameter in the DeepVocal Editor) which allows for more aspirated high notes.
Bank/Phonetic Information
Japanese There is a falsetto pitch that can be activated in the Timbre parameter of the DeepVocal Editor. By selecting "T4" on the desired notes, the falsetto pitch will be activated. There are four breath samples that can be activated by using the following phonemes: [br], [br1], [br2] and [br3]. Breath endings can be activated with a short [H] note following a previous note. There are glottal stop samples that can be activated by adding this prefix to any vowel phoneme: GS (eg. [GSa], [GSe], etc). Glottal endings can be activated with a short [GX] note following a previous note. There are vocal fry (β) samples that can be activated by adding this prefix to any vowel phoneme: VF (eg. [VFa], [VFe], etc). Vocal fry endings can be activated with a short [VX] note following a previous note. There are supplemental English samples that can be used for better singing in other languages. These include an American English R [4a], [@], a TH consonant [tha], [the], etc, and L samples [la], [le], etc. Consonant endings can also be using on several of the consonant samples included in this voicebank. These are activated by inputting the consonant you'd like to use and adding a "0" to the note. (ex. [k0], [sh0], etc)
