葡萄 (putao, grape): Poor man's UTAU.
Project description
葡萄 (putao, grape): Poor man's UTAU
putao is a Python module that allows programmatic creation, editing, and saving of UTAU-style songs.
No more having to wrestle with encoding issues: all filenames use plain ASCII romanization of Japanese syllables!
Inspired by Composite's Bad Apple script.
Why name it putao?
Because python + utau = putao. Conincidentally, it means 'grape' in Chinese.
How it works
putao uses voicebanks, like a normal voice synthesizer.
A voicebank is a regular folder with wav files, and a putao.json config file that maps those wavs to syllables.
The syllables are then pitched using scientific pitch notation and streched according to a duration. The result of this is a lyric. The lyrics can then be joined into a song.
Making a song
Musical notes are written with Music Macro Language and mapped together with plaintext lyric files to create songs.
See the examples folder for what a voicebank and song should look like.
Todo
- Add midi support
- GUI, like UTAU
- Project-like import/export (50%)
