☢ Universal Japanese Extras ☢

These can be added to any voicebank type.

☆ Expanded Vowels ☆ 母音のエクストラ ☆

Version 2.0

• Includes syllabic nasal allophones and glottal stop VCVs.
• These should replace the vowel strings in the normal reclist.

☆ Vowel Endings ☆ 母音の終わり ☆

Version 2.0

• Various optional vowel endings to be added to any voicebank.
• IN / 吸 = inhale; OUT / 息 = exhale
• Diphthong / nasal strings include blends with the normal vowel, sustained vowels, normal endings, and end breaths
  • For example, in the string _a-an__a~an-OUT, the first utterance should be a normal [a] going into a nasalized [a], and the second utterance should be completely nasal and release on a breath.

☆ Consonant Blends ☆ 子音のブレンド ☆

Version 0.5

• Experimental; still testing
• A few voiceless consonant blends to help with more naturalistic utterances such as the transition from「す」to「か」in「ですか」
• Strickly speaking, these should actually be CVCs with a short voiceless vowel between the consonants, but we can treat them as CCs for ease-of-use.
