(I was originally drafting this post in the Esperanto section of the forum, but since I couldn't figure out how to properly express what I wanted to say, I'm posting here now.)

I've posted the list here on UTAforum and will likely be more active on that thread than this, since it caters more to the audience on that forum.

UTAU is a program for synthesizing singing vocals, much like Vocaloid. However, it's free and (I think) much more powerful. It allows you to use your own samples rather than being restricted to premade vocal libraries. I've written a list that, if you record all of the syllables as separate .wav files, you can use in UTAU to sing in Esperanto.

I'm aware that there has been Esperanto UTAU work in the past, however, it's often just listed as a capability in multilingual voicebanks.

If anyone is interested in trying to use it, I'd be very willing to help.

Interesting! I'll look into it when I'm on my laptop instead of my phone.

Ve, I don't know Japanese...

Ah, sorry! I wasn't aware that Lernu's forum didn't automatically subscribe you to threads that you author, and thought there were no responses here yet.

The link that says "v0.4.18e インストーラ" is the latest version download. However, UTAU being originally Japanese software, is prone to occasionally malfunctioning if not running under a Japanese environment. These are simple instructions for setting things properly. http://fuwanovel.net/faq/setting-windows-to-japane... It should be done before the installer is downloaded.

If you don't change your computer settings, it's still possible to use the Esperanto list. I'm currently writing an update to the list, and will likely be testing the update on an original song.

I've updated the list. It's now quite a lot more complex, since I actually found [url="https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonotakso"]this page[/url] on Vikipedio. There's no quick way to explain everything, so I suppose we'll have to wait until I can make an audio sample of this version. It should make a bit more sense if you have experience with making a VCCV English voicebank for UTAU. The tutorial series for that can be found [url="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOGUguEvULpe0PwcQu23s0OUwIQ8p8z0S"]here on Youtube[/url].

At Lernu you have to use 'LIG' tag instead of 'url' tag:

I updated the list to fix some typos I noticed and to remove some redundancies in configuration. I have also made an audio sample of this current version. See original post for both.

Hearing your productions, I assume that you plan to create music with Esperanto lyrics. Please, contact Muzaiko.info to put your songs into Muzaiko's playlist. That would be mojosa multe. Vere.
