I'd be happy to draw the character! I'd only record my voice if there was some way my terrible JP pronunciation would make sense though lol

Sorry about the dump of my art, I just don't have access to my drawing tablet atm but still want to give an idea of what I can do. I have no ideas for the design right now but maybe an alien gimmick would be cute…

I would be fully willing to provide my voice for the VB. I'm a dude so I have a masculine-ish but feminine enough voice to pull whatever off

I'm willing to learn Deepvocal for this. I'll take anything over UTAU's awful OTOing.

I feel like we should focus on the character details first.

Do you have any ideas you want to share?

I've been thinking today about what the character would be like. I can use my tablet now so I did a really quick sketch. Going off my alien idea, I came up with a backstory for them. They crash landed to Earth, learned about humans and wanted to sing to understand/connect with them better. I also thought it'd be cute if they pretended their antennae were just attached to their headphones so that humans wouldn't suspect them. I like girly characters so I drew them as more fem but if we decide they're a guy/a tomboy that's cool too.

I made their hair short to represent how 39chan's just started. Other than that, I took things from Miku's design and mixed them up a bit.

This is just me pulling things out of my ass though. I'm not saying 'okay we're following this,' at all lmao. If anyone has any ideas please share them!

>>26
I feel like the grey skin looks a bit weird and clashes a bit with the greens, maybe either pale white or light human skin would work better, but that aside i find the design very cute.
>I like girly characters so I drew them as more fem but if we decide they're a guy/a tomboy that's cool too.
It's gonna sound faggy but imho we shouldn't really give the character a gender. This design already looks androgynous so i like that. I feel like not giving it a gender in a way could represent the site's anonimity and fellows anons could self insert.

But that's just me

colours.png - 622.94 KB (1905x1691)

>>27
Thanks for the advice anon! I've changed some colours around and the skin definitely looks a lot better (sorry about reposting the same drawing again though lol). It looks pretty blueish here but honestly I'd place it anywhere from that to white. I played around with the outfit's colour too, personally I prefer it darker but I figure showing both would be better

Also nah the gender thing isn't faggy, that's a great idea, especially since we have somebody willing to record with an androgynous voice. Maybe some annoying people would say they're transgender but they're not human in the first place

rough.jpg - 1016.13 KB (2000x1362)

>>28
Super rough sketch but I gave your design a shot and added some of my own stuff too. First of all I feel like human skin works better for a design like this. I gave them hair vents (hair vents are cute!) and made a dumb little doodle where they have the antennae on their headset, i think that if we go with this design them being an alien and the other 'loids not knowing could be sort of a running gag like how Ritsu's running gag is that he's a dude with missile tits.

The 93 tattoo is there because i wanted to give them one but I also didn't want to give her "39" since it spells "Miku". 93 would spell "Kumi" and I feel like that's a terrible name for the character so feel free to replace it with any other number or just nothing at all.

>>20
do you have a demo
>>28
>>29
these are fucking awesome both
personally i like the idea of the antenna being part of the headphones better because green with funny ears and no gender makes it a bit similar to zundamon but i get that its meant to be an alien.

>>29
>>28
>>26
All fantastic designs, I'm a huge fan.
>>30
unfortunately I don't have any demos of me singing in a higher/more feminine register but I can probably record one at some point. I made a female UTAU using my voice when I was 15 but I don't have it anymore.

I would also be willing to provide demo songs for the voicebank when everything is complete… vocasynth production is difficult for me, but I think it'd be fun

moreshit.png - 993.78 KB (1536x1920)

>>29
This is great!! I like the idea of the antennae being less obvious and part of the headphones, it's very cute. It's like Adachi Rei, which is cool to me since she's also a non-human character. I doodled a little thing about how their antennae would poke through the headphones if they weren't attached rather than them being behind or in front of them

In retrospect, I think I tried too hard to make them look weird or alien. I think them not being very obviously an alien fits in with other utaus. (like how Teto is a chimera.) With their age, I guess going off of 39chan they'd be at least 18 because of the age limit. Maybe they'd literally be 39 or 93.

I added some red to them after reading that note about whether we would want a fully green character. Yellow would be too close to Gumi and imo the red made them look more like a weirdo. Also it'd fit with the colour of the arm tattoo. But at the same time it feels a bit garish to me

I feel like the arm covering things being cloth was out of place too so maybe they could be more solid looking like the cryptonloid's coverings are.

>>30
The thing about Zundamon I understand haha, it made me laugh because I didn't think about them at all while drawing but they're pretty similar!

Admin here. I know this voicebank hasnt been finished yet but once it is we're planning on hosting it under some sort of "voicebanks" page where people can download UTAU banks created by our community. That's all, hope to see this project finished eventually.

Are VPanon and drawfriend still around?

is vpanon the person who submitted the vocaroo? coz that's me! o7
I am trying to finally record the reclist via what is technically a better mic but technology hates me soooooooo that might be a bit (dear goddess miku please help me by making the technology work with me. thank u miku I will worship u for the rest of my life probably.)
idk if u wanna ask me anything or something lol

So we have the software, a bio, a voice provider and a final design and still no name, okay.

How about Mao Eiiru (マオ エイル) as in Ayy Lmao?

Hello, I am from /miku/
I am a bit of an artist so I could potentially make art of characters if needed.
We on /miku/ tried to make our own custom loid years ago, but the project fizzled out because of voicebank issues. There was some girl who recorded a few sounds (a, i, u, e, o) but she didn't manage to finish all the sounds. I thought that the sounds she left might be enough to make a voicebank out of them but it would be difficult. She was a tomboy yank. A kind of a phoenix girl. Her computer was destroyed and she disappeared. But I believe one day the phoenix may rise again in the form of this loid. I came up with a design for the loid and made pic related. I put in the name too. Maybe you guys could also help revive this loid.. Well, its my dream to see it come to fruition but maybe its a bit of a pipe dream at this point.

Anyway, I may be willing to help with your project no matter what your stance may be toward mine. I like what you have so far. Alien girl? Right up my alley, since I was also on /hover/.
The older pics are broken/missing? You gotta make sure to save the pic(s) if I help you out. It may take me a bit to get back into drawing, its been a while since I drew characters..

>>468
A lot of it is already done so I'm not sure what else we could add. Eiiru's design is technically finished but the drawfriend who made the previous sketch never came back. As for 'backstory' we have drawanon's: >>26 and this: >>158. Not sure which one we're going for or if someone wants to make a completely different one. A voice provider auditioned earlier but never sent in the files.

>Maybe you guys could also help revive this loid..
I'd be willing to help with the art to some extent but maybe this should have its own separate thread after Eiiru is actually finished.

>>469
Oh, VPAnon here! Uhhhh I do wanna record more but recently my bed broke (it is now in the shape of a V) and thus I have no privacy to record 😭 We did order a bed so it should be here in the next few days and I’ll ask ppl to remind me to record more!!!! I also found my Japanese dictionary so I can also focus on that alongside the reclist websites I was given 🙏

>>472
Are you still going to record her or is someone else voicing her now?

I'm no artist, so I can't contribute that way. But I have made an attempt at combining the two backstories provided so far by >>26 and >>158

Eiiru Mao is an alien creature from the planet Mars who crash landed on Earth. Eiiru was captured by the American Government to be studied at Area 51. While at the facility, she is Subject 93, and receives a tattoo to identify her as such. Eventually they manage to escape and by chance make their way to Japan. While in Japan, Eiiru begins to learn more about humans. Wanting to better the relationship between the two species, she decides to become an idol.

Personally, I don't really like the full name of Eiiru Mao (I do like Eiiru though). But if it sticks I have two possible explanations of it became their name.
1. The language of their species is different and it is just by chance it sounds like a joke phrase in English.

It's telling me the body is too long so splitting this into multiple replies.

2. After crash landing, while trying to learn human languages, it is something she heard and decided to use as a stage name when becoming an idol.

Being a genderless creature and having an androgynous appearance, Eiiru is unconcerned with pronouns and doesn't care what they are referred to as. (I only add this because it seems we here are continuing to refer to it as a she.)

For age my only suggestion is being born in 1986. I don't really understand how goroawase works but I think Eiiru could be written as 86. (Eight transliterated into Japanese is eito, it seems there are goroawase that only take the first sound, so that would be ei. And 6 can be red as ru. 86, Ei ru.) I may be totally off base so feel free to ignore.

>>29
I also like the idea of the running gag of other loids not knowing about being an alien. I think it would be funny if she spent time trying to hide the fact from the others while also having to avoid being pursued and recaptured by the Americans.

>>552
>I think it would be funny if she spent time trying to hide the fact from the others while also having to avoid being pursued and recaptured by the Americans.
The idea of Eiiru hiding the fact that she's an alien to prevent being captured reminds me a little of Zim from Invader Zim. I like that idea so I hope that when the UTAU is finished we can keep that as a running gag, especially among artists or at least in the songs that are made with her (assuming she'll have at least one original among the thousands of covers because that's unfortunately the fate of most UTAUs).

>>551
>I don't really like the full name of Eiiru Mao
Not a fan either honestly. I'd prefer something related to sound as tends to be the case with most UTAUs. But it was either that or anal probing jokes.

Unless someone comes up with something better. But this thread's been kinda dead in comparison to the others, despite being stickied.

>>555
Threads being slow is understandable, a lot was already done and it seems like people want to move onto the voice side of things, and as a result aren't thinking much about design anymore due to the existing submissions. I'm not really good with names, but if sound is something to be incorporated I like the idea of onomatopoeia. I know Japan seems to have a sound effect for just about everything, so maybe there is one for outer space or for aliens that could be worked into a name? Eiiru Mao seemed to just be accepted by most people so I'd be interested to see opinions from more people, whether they like it or not and if they have any further ideas.

>>557
I could try making some sort of final design based off what we already have and with the 86 thing but i'm not nearly as skilled as drawanon. I personally don't mind if the final design doesn't look like a KEI drawing, but it has to look good and i'm not.

I hope friends here will return after the site being down.

After thinking for a while I have realized I am terrible at coming up with names. So may I make the suggestion of just calling her Eiiru and dropping the second name?

>>625
Why not Airu? That would be the correct spelling. Also I like Mao being her last name, it makes her sound Chinese.

>>626
1. Because I know nothing about romanization and was just using the version that had been used in the original suggestion for her name and throughout the thread. >>233
So far I have been reading her name as 'ay-roo,' while 'Airu' looks to me like it would be pronounced 'eye-roo.' Perhaps my original assumption of pronunciation was incorrect, but that is still what seems correct to me.

2. Eiiru Mao was suggested because it sounds like Ayy Lmao, which I don't really like. I grew attached to her first name, so I figured it would be easier to drop the family name.

I'm not Japanese but the best thing i can come up with is Hoshi Utara (星歌良). Hoshi means "star" (referencing how she came from space) and Utara means "good song". I'm not against Eiiru Mao being used but it feels way too on the nose imo and you can tell a gaijin came up with it.

That being said i hope leekaloids become a thing i love how much OC this board has been pumping out despite how recent it is

>>650
I asked my friend who knows JP about this and he had this to say:

“星　歌良 also sounds very foreigner-yy

im not very good with names but I'll list a couple here that you might consider. plus what they mean.
surnames
- 夜舞（やまい）yamai (night + dancing/flowing. so might be read as xxx dancing in the night)
- 染夜（そめや）someya (stain/dye, night. meaning that xxx is colouring or illuminating the night)
- 月夜見（つくよみ）tsukuyomi (moon + night + watch. therefore could be read as xxx watching the moon at night)

first names
- 星絆（せな）Sena (star + bond. might mean the bond of the stars or bonded to the stars etc. can also be written as 77)
- 満月（るな）Luna (kanji mean full moon, then an unconventional reading of Luna because Luna means moon. written as 67)
- 星（あかり）akari (another unconventional reading. kanji means star, can be pronounced either akari or hoshi. a bit of a stretch but can be written as 156)

Tsukuyomi Sena (the bond of the stars watching the moon at night) totally fits her character doesn't it?

alternatively you could just have the surname in kanji and have the first name in hiragana/katakana. chisa, eru, kana. plus she's an alien so it can be something weird like nue, numi, mafu, fuchi, roro, kia, kiu, etc.”

>>675
I like Sena

>>675
I think Sena works and 77 could be used for the arm sticker thingy. If drawanon can't correct it I'm not against doing it myself.

i'd probably drop the "chanloid" part and replace it with something else tbh. it sounds like it came out of 4chan. "leekaloid" isn't bad but it doesn't roll off the tongue as the former.

>>686
What about "39chloids?" That’s also a bit of a mouthful though orz. Maybe we can refer to them as “Chanloids” internally/on this site then make a different term for them outside of here. What about “Leekloids?”

I also think "Ellem A. O." or "Elle Em A. O." might be a better name for Eiiru. Or "Elle Mao?"

>>690
I prefer anon's jaypee-verified names. Makes it sound less like a joke character.

英弄マオ / Eiru Mao
英 = English
弄 = playing/joking

>>692
Still a bigger fan of Sena but if people want to go with Eiru this is a good option.

Since everything except the actual voice is done i'm removing the sticky. The thread will remain up, obviously.

I wonder how hard it'd be to pull a prank like 2chan's original intention with Kasane Teto but on the English side of the Vocaloid community.

Aside from her unique voice the reason for Teto's success was due to how she was released around the time Vocaloid blew up in Japan and Crypton was still making voicebanks (After Luka they basically stopped and are unlikely to make future banks).

On the western side of the community though there's no Crypton or any Crypton equivalent producing mascot style characters like Miku,Luka,Rin,etc. Sure, there's voicebanks like Miku English and other companies like Internet Co have made Gumi English/Gumi V6 but the actual ENGloids, those made exclusively for English speakers, aren't mascot-like in the same way as the Japanese ones. SONiKA was originally made to fill that niche but even then Zero-G killed her chance of ever having that status due to the poor marketing and cancellation of V4.

So my question is if "pranking" the ENGloid community with a fake English voicebank would even be possible. As far as i know Oliver and YOHIOloid are the closest thing we have to what i mentioned early and even then they're not part of some vocal-synth mascot "family" like the Cryptonloids we all know and love.

Maybe I'm overthinking this ww but i want to hear what people think.

>>896
Tease a fake SynthV maybe, but even then (unless we larped as a Japanese company) it being a cutesy character vocal with character art that looks like it came from 2007 would probably hint at it being fake

It’d also probably be way harder to fake an SV demo (unless RVC was used, but DT banned using SV as RVC input)

DiffSinger exists

>>911
DS has noticable engine noise to me that SV lacks imo. Which makes me think people might clock it as fake. Although using it in addition to a VST like Zynaptic Morph (which I have) to combine it with the SynthV output might work (and isn’t against DT’s terms to my knowledge)

Either that or we could claim the engine noise is from the voicebank being unfinished..even then people might e-mail Dreamtonics about the validity of the bank like they did for Topaz, who actually did end up being real

Or maybe if anyone has it, we could put an UTAU/DS bank in Vocoflex?

I agree SynthV wouldn't work, it would be more fitting to pretend she's literally the long lost English Vipperloid from 2ch. There are still failed Vipperloid projects people are discovering.

>>912
Depending on how bad the engine noise is you could also pretend its a Vocaloid6 voicebank

Highly doubt anyone cares about Vocaloid6 though

Happy late new year to vpanon if she's still here with us

since vpanon isnt showing any signs of life, im willing to voice the character myself if she doesnt return. im a dude but i can try to squeeze my balls or something.

>>943
No I'm still here o7
Uhhhh
I was too busy trying to remember to make a doctors appointment but I can keep recording now !!! Sorry I've been all over the place

I've written a song for her already, using placeholder vocals. I'm waiting for the voicebank to be finished.

ClipboardI….png - 32.26 KB (690x254)

i am friends with vpanon. currently otoing her voicebank.

i don't expect the recordings to be done until february or march but once they're done i might ask for help ITT since i'm not the best at this. i'll see how it sounds with just the audios that were recorded. a few sounds i have might need to be re-recorded.

same anon here.

just a quick note: i won't actually release it until all the clips are recorded. i know some people might want an "experimental wip" version of the voicebank with my mediocre otoing but i'd rather wait until its fully recorded and usable.

also, it's CV, for anyone wondering. VCV would probably take a looong time but we live in the future, some anon can probably just take it and make a VCV out of the CV like they did rei adachi.

>>1015
this is how it sounds in its unfinished state

i have no idea if i fucked something up but it sounds like the samples are being played in a lower pitch(?), compared to other utaus it sounds out of tune, and it's not the UST!. it might be an issue with openUTAU.

Might be .frq files, although I'm unsure how to check them in OpenUTAU
Edit with this: https://utaforum.net/threads/is-there-some-sort-of-extended-frq-editor.21613/post-145194, https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rra0zg66lb419/frqeditor (direct link)

If not it might be the .WAV export settings, seems UTAU is really picky when it comes to that (only suppors 44100Hz sampling rate iirc)

>>1016
good news, i fixed the voicebank being out of tune. seems like the original files were recorded in 48000Hz instead of 44100Hz but fortunately i have a ffmpeg script that converts them back to 44100Hz so that was easy to correct.
all that's left is to add the missing audio files which have not been recorded yet and to add aliases (i hate aliasing).

considering sena/eiiru was originally intended to not have a gender for alien reasons, im happy with how androgynous the voicebank ended up sounding, despite being voiced by a girl. anyway, sena/eiiru will see the light of day very soon.

yep, the sampling rate was the issue, not the frqs. its been fixed as you can hear in the post above. some files are still missing but i'll be posting the finished voicebank once vpanon is done recording.

>Actual progress has been made on /leek/'s utauloid

Holy shit, it sounds great, i hope everything goes well and it actually comes out. This would probably make it the first collaborative utau on an imageboard (western) considering not even 4chan has created anything like this despite being 20 years older than 39chan.

3.png - 198.53 KB (512x512)

Drawfags and editfags, i have a couple constructive criticisms before this thing is released.

First of all, I think the character is too green. I'm not saying change the hair color or the color of the clothes but i think the colors should be more balanced. Take Gumi for example: her hair is green, her eyes are a lighter shade of green, her goggles are red, her vest uses various shades of orange, boots white. I'm not saying change the color of the clothes but Sena/Eiiru could do with just a lighter shade of green for some parts. Streaked hair could work too but i feel like that'd just overcomplicate her design.

I also want to suggest giving her black gloves. White goes well with black so I feel like it could make her design a bit more interesting.

Once /leek/ makes up its mind about the character's name the arm tattoo should be changed - if Eiiru keep drawanon's idea - if Sena then change it to 77. We should also come up with a name for the utauloid family, chanloid is a bit vague: it could be 4chan, 8chan, 9gagredditchan, etc. A name should be decided first.

anons i'm having a small issue with the utau bank. the breath sample is broken as hell with moresampler. i've tried everything to fix it but nothing works. it doesn't sound like this with openutau's default resampler.

also ignore that the "jo" sample sounds bad, it'll be re-recorded.

>>1038
>also ignore that the "jo" sample sounds bad, it'll be re-recorded
oops wrong clip, but at least it still shows how broken the breath sample is.

i should've mentioned this but ear rape warning.

i think there's a lot of issues with the otoing that i'm not able to fix myself so hopefully someone with more experience will take a look at it when i post the "finished" voicebank

>>1038
did you add an "a" sound before the breath? utau can't generate proper frq files if there aren't detectable pitch frequencies in the sample.

>>1039
i don't have any demos that i can share but i'm pretty good with otos; maybe i can take a look when everything's done.

>>1040
the UST isnt mine but afaik there was no 'a' sound. if you mean if i added an 'a' to the alias, i didn't.

you can actually hear the breath working well in the first sample i sent >>1016 but it no longer works so i probably fucked something up.

>>1041
in the audio file…

We're getting closer and closer to this thing's final release, personally i wouldnt add anything else to the design its fine as it is. Godspeed anons.

i think most people here will be opposed to it but i think the design should be made to look a bit more tomboyish. the current one is good but it doesn't fit her androgynous voice.

Insanely rough sketch and i suck at anatomy but i came up with this. The head is the only thing that really changes, i kept the same outfit.

This way you can't tell if it's a shota or a girl with short hair.

Ry ko.webp - 32.37 KB (360x538)

>>1067
also I didn't want to make her look too much like Flower (she already sounds a bit like Flower!) so i didn't give her the same type of streaked hair, instead I gave her a single orange highlight similar to what Ryuuko from Kill la Kill has, picrel.

I apologize in advance to the original drawanon if my design ends up becoming the final one.

>>1067
Based on this and the anon mentioning they'd prefer a more "tomboy" design I toyed with various ideas, while I still personally prefer the current design I think it would be cool if we had one "long" strand of hair akin to Asa Shigure (who is also green haired oops), but I also just shoved a whole bunch of boys with interesting hair styles that have some "longer" hair features if people wanna toy with that.
I also added a star for if we go with the name Sena, since the connection with stars is also appealing to have in the design if we keep that.
Obviously since I have no clue at all how to draw I just shoddily added some messy lines.

>>1077
I also prefer the current design but i don't think it fits the voice. The voice is more boyish than the design. I think another thing we could do is use the current design but make her look more like an adult, like Fuiro who also has a deep voice.

>>1077
I think the star is too much, it makes her look too orange, but i like the hair idea

The final version will use drawanon's design.

As far as i know these are the only missing phonemes so the voicebanks is almost 100% done.

Thanks anon. I don't intend on this becoming the final design (unless people really like it that much?) but if she ever receives an update like CVVC, VCV, Diffsinger even it could come in handy.

Can i try my hand at a redesign?

>>896
>>901
>>912
I actually believe we can make something like this work in the current year and i have some suggestions.

Obviously faking a SynthV can be hard but not impossible. The only way we can currently make a fake SV is with RVC… an 'RVC'loid, if you will. It'd basically just be a RVC bank with a character design attached to it. RVC when given high quality training data can sound convincingly realistic.
>But DT bans SV as-
Shh… listen, we don't have to use SV as the reference audio. Again, what's the primary selling point of SVS2? Realism. We can just use a human singing and tune the input/output with something like Melodyne or VocalShifter. The design for the RVCloid can be literally anything. As far as I'm concerned they don't have a bias towards Asian artists or anything, SOLARIA doesn't look like she was illustrated by an Asian artist (I could be wrong, but the overall style is pretty Western looking).

>>1206
Another thing we could do would be to fake a CEVIO. Now here, we would actually need an illustrator who can mimic anime-like art styles because I can't think of any CEVIO banks which use Western artwork. Alternatively, commissioning a Japanese artist is an option but with how broke 39chanons have proven to be that's unlikely to happen. With CEVIO we would just have to make a DiffSinger or NNSVS/ENUNU. How we would get people to take the bait is beyond me since the news source would probably have to be some Japanese Twitter account. But DiffSinger and NNSVS/ENUNU's engine noise play in our favor here. CEVIO is VERY noisy so it should not be hard to fake.

Here's how both sound for comparison:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=TW9hOIwXGrU [Embed]

Faking a V6 would be a bit of the same, except it's not very convenient to fake a V6 for the fact that:
>1. No one cares about V6
>2. V6 sounds flat as hell, can you even achieve a sound like that with OpenUTAU?
>3. No one cares about V6
>4. NO ONE FUCKING CARES ABOUT V6 RAAAHHH

tl;dr: we can pull it off

I also saw this really good fanmade Neru voice today! From what I see they used Vocoflex + morphing Miyamai Moca with samples from a very old vintage singing synth, since we are using human input (Sena's VP, unless you'd like to use an UTAU render instead) it should be way less noisy and similar to an AI vsynth as well. Along with not breaking DT's terms because it uses a VST instead of an SVC.

Show the video in this Twitter/X post

I also really love the idea of faking an SV instead of a Vocaloid or VIPPERloid because the "fanmade VIPPER" and "UTAU inspired by old weeby amateur UTAU from the 2000s-2010s" UTAU thing is kind of played out, hell I was even the voice of my friend's own UTAU with a similar concept. I agree Solaria has a completely feel to the average vsynth with a very Western looking design (in a good way though) and I'd love to do something that's more of an original and Western take on fakeloids. Ideally she'd have an art style more like one of the cuter League of Legends or Overwatch characters, or Sakimi-chan/Ilya Kuvshinov/Skullgirls/90s and 2000s cartoons but yes I am also broke and lack commission money for that lol

More ideas in picrel, it was too long to post

can we give eiiru h8rs their own thread? I'm here for her

>>1227
They are as non existent as her voicebank

>>1225
I meant a separate voicebank not Sena. Sena should be completed as an UTAU and be its own thing, then we can finally pull the fake SV prank. I feel like it would probably be easier to fake a CEVIO one though as i said in the original post, it's more noisy than SV.

>>1229
Ohh alright my bad. Should we make a separate thread for that? I don’t want to derail.

Also, since the western fandom hates lolis, can we make her a MILF?

>>1239
Yeah, would be nice to have a different thread

At least give her massive boobs

After many months i am proud to announce that Sena's CV voicebank is finally finished. Thank you all for being patient.

DL: https://files.catbox.moe/zs49pu.zip

Do note the following:
- This is my first time otoing so the .oto is a bit messy. Hiragana characters don't work so you'll have to either convert your USTs to Romaji or fix the oto yourself to support Hiragana.
- The breath sample as mentioned previously is fucked, at least with moresampler. I have no idea how to fix it.
Other than that it should work just fine with any song.

This version has a few audios in the wrong frequency, causing them to sound weird with other resamplers. I fixed them by writing a batch file that converts them to 44100Hz. Make sure to uninstall the previous version and get this one instead.

Alright this should be the final version of Sena.
- Added Hiragana support
- Made the transparent image bigger + removed the "77 chanloid" from Sena's arm since it's pretty irrelevant
- Removed the leftover Hz conversion batch file included in the previous zip
The breath sample is still kind of a mess but if it's short it sounds fine.
