CVVX is my modified system of CVVC, VCVX is my modified system/reclist for VCV, and CVX is a custom CV reclist (that I plan to write) with some specific aliases. It allows for better pronunciation variation as well as making it easier for me to define more phonetic sounds to be added. It also allows (some) ARPAbet to be typed as phonetic hints and converted to the correct phonemes.

While CVVX is the current name, I might rename it someday since it supports other voicebank formats as well.

Originally it was planned to be for Japanese only (hence the name “JA CVVX”), but I plan to add support for Lisatopian CVVX and VCVX as well as toki pona CVVX and VCVX. The phonemizer was comissioned and Cadlaxa made it.

Download Phonemizer

If you want to make a voicebank with it, you must contact me (at my email, kouga-p@proton.me) for permission and instructions. You may not develop a voicebank for it without permission. It is not intended for use with normal JA CVVC/VCV/CV voicebanks and CVVX/VCVX/CVX will not work with the CVVX phonemizer..

Installation instructions

Download and extract the .zip file

Put the .dll file in OpenUtau’s Plugins folder (C:\[User]\Documents\OpenUtau\Plugins\, if installed with the installer)
