Daina Workaround SheetThis Google Doc provides information on alternative phonemes you can use with Daina, to aim to get a more accurate result.
The same content is provided below:
| Problem | Description | Example | Workaround | Fixed Example |
| [N] | Daina will not utter [N] on it’s own. This includes after being connected to another word to extend an ending consonant. | [N] For extension: Sing - [s I N] [N] | Replace with [n] For extension: Change the latter [N] to [n] and the result will be similar to intended. OR Replace the latter [N] with [-] | [n] For extension: [s I N] [n] OR [s I N] [-] |
| [s I] | The [ I ] will generate two noises. One is closer to [i:], and the other is closer to [e]. | Sin / Seen - [s I n] This example features two words, demonstrating the [ I ] inconsistency. | If an “ih” sound is desired, replace [ I ] with [e]. Alternatively, if an “ee” sound is desired, replace [ I ] with [i:]. | [s e n] OR [s i: n] |
| [- eI t] from G3 down | The [t] won’t be pronounced or will be near inaudible | Fate - [f eI t] | Replace [t] with [th] OR Add an [h] or [h\] to preference at the end. | [f eI th] OR [f eI t h] OR [f eI t h\] |
Dex Workaround SheetThis Google Doc provides information on alternative phonemes you can use with Dex, to aim to get a more accurate result.
The same content is provided below:
| Problem | Description | Example | Workaround | Fixed Example |
| [k s i:] F#2 and below | Sounds filtered until the [i:] stationary takes over playback. | Sexy - [s e k] [s i:] | Replace with [kh s i:] as needed. | [s e kh] [s i:] |
| [dZ V] B2 and below, most notable between B2 and G2 | [dZ] sounds like it’s being pronounced twice. | Just - [dZ V s t] | Increase velocity of affected note. | N/A |
| [D {] from C2 and above | The sound “whines” for a split second as the [D] transitions to [{]. This won’t bother everyone, and should be adjusted to preference.. | That - [D { t] | Replace {D] with [T] and adjust velocity as desired. | [T { t] |
| [s I] | The [ I ] will generate two noises. One is closer to [i:], and the other is closer to [e]. | Sin / Seen - [s I n] This example features two words, demonstrating the [ I ] inconsistency. | If an “ih” sound is desired, replace [ I ] with [e]. If an “ee” sound is desired, replace [ I ] with [i:]. | [s e n] OR [s i: n] |
| Extending a note using the combination [- l d] from F#2 down, with no succeeding notes within a 16th | The [d] will not be pronounced, or near inaudibly. | World + extension - [w @r] [- l d] | Replace [d] with [dh] OR Add [h] or [h\] to preference at the end. | [w @r] [- l dh] OR [w @r] [- l d h] OR [w @r] [- l d h\] |

Suggested use for new phonemes:
- e@0: Replace [{] to preference
- 4: Replace [t] or [d] to preference in words like “little”, “better”, or “wedding”. Also replace to preference if you want a less pronounced consonant in word-to-word transitions, like “isn’t it” ([I z n] [4 I t] as opposed to [I z n] [t I t]).
- h\: Replace [h] to preference with words occurring after a 1/16th note of silence, or after a voiced consonant such as [z], [d], or [g].
- Alternatively, insert at the end of a note to emulate an ending breath if desired. (This is not a consistent effect.)
- R: Trill. Closest to [l0]. Insert as a beginning consonant.
- tSh: Stronger “ch” sound than [tS]. Replace it to preference. TODO: Determine if tSh is voiced or not.
Special phoneme notes:
- [Sil] cuts off the phoneme transition or forces a break between phonemes.
- [?] is the glottal stop for Ruby, and for other banks is an abrupt stop in sound (intended to be a glottal stop). Ruby’s is recorded and programmed, other’s are generated by the engine. Requires experimentation. TODO: Discover proper usage of Ruby’s [?].
- [*_0] functions as so: the asterisk (*) is any phoneme that the engine will accept, for example, [V]. To use the phoneme, you would then write [V_0]. This will generate an unvoiced [V] sound, which has certain uses.
