KotonoTone Tutorial Part 1: Introduction / How to download

Tutorial KotonoTone Tutorial Part 1: Introduction / How to download

Note: For now, there are no images. I will translate them after I translate the interface. Please check back later.

Note: There might be some parts with not 100% natural English because of how I translate Japanese > English in my head and some software specific terms that I don't remember the most common English equivalent for. But overall it should make enough sense to follow without problems. I just don't want to spend forever translating these tutorials.

Introduction to the long tone tuning application <<KotonoTone>> for VOICEROID-use

I published an official version on 6/11. Watch the video for a tutorial on how to use.
<<Update history>>

[Not going to translate the versions]
====================================================================================================
Simple introduction to the application

KotonoTone is a voice editing application for VOICEROID that fixes voices that have been stretched out and become unstable.


[Note: I think if I translate the video, I will make a separate guide for it, because it is very long. Will provide a link once made.]

The introduction video is up, so please watch for the details!
====================================================================================================
Basic usage

[image]

Please load a WAVE file created with VOICEROID into this application.
You can open a file from the menu or by dragging and dropping.

Clicking on the graph will change the position of the play head.
Dragging on the graph will select a range.
While holding the Ctrl key, the mouse wheel can zoom the graph in/out.

[image]

Selecting a range on the graph and pressing the convert button will make that section have as uniform as possible volume.

Please make sure the selected range only contains vowels.
It can not correctly tune selected ranges of sounds that have pitch change mid-way.
Even if you perfectly select the vowel, depending on the contents pronounced, it might not be able to properly tune.

Selecting the reset button can return the selected voice to its original state.

Please save a WAVE file when the tuning is complete.
