Hello Heyuri. If you could get a love doll of TWO of the following but NOT all three, which pair do you pick and why?
1) Hatsune Miku (original KEI design)
2) Megurine Luka
3) Kagamine Rin (Future Style)

BRAND NEW social website idea concept. Steal it. DELIBERATELY unlike social medias or imageboards.

A brand new person opening the website is greeted on a page filled with a plethora of unknown symbols; colourful logos all of the same size. Sigils if you will. But more like seals, like flags. All same size (if circle, all of them are in circles) No names. No other identifiers. Just the seals. just intuit which means what. pure intuition. The seals dont seem to mean anything. They're just a seemingly gibberish image, ALWAYS.

The only other text on the screen is the instruction to pick one carefully because once picked that's the Party you start with. A Party is a group of min 4 up to 6 people.

Once in a Party, you find out that you can't speak (type) aside from SINGLE emoji per post. The Party members start to give you Questions with Answers Choice. After some time answering, you find out you've gained some really basic Words. Like pronouns, prepositons, grammar words, adverbs. But of course, not "Life" words (Words other than for grammatical purposes', like objects in real world). The Party, if they're satisfied and not decided to kick you out, let you stay in it. You find you're limited in the number of words you can use per post, but as time goes on, the numbers increase.

The rest of this website is at this point free-for-all ideas on what next to implement, basically; after this starting point, there are two essential things:
a) gaining Words. The website owner decide how this is to be done.
b) the chance for a Party to one day meet other Parties that are also using the site. The website owner decides how this is to be done.

The whole meaning of this thing is to give meaning to our own Speech on the internet, that is, to be able to even SPEAK at all, one must WORK towards it. The site is, yes, 'gamified', it's deliberately contrary to the whole concept of social websites in that the more you spent energy and time on the site the more that you're able to speak and express yourself. The more you put effort, the more freedom you have.

You are fully CENSORED at the very beginning, speaking basic grunts and mereemojis, and only by your own effort you build up your own FREE('d) Speech from absolute nothing. Like I said, the whole concept of the website is deliberately opposite to social media and imageboards where you enter and you can start saying anything you like (100/100). Here, you begin right from zero (0/100).

Continuing a bit. From afar you see some people co

i dont get it at all.... youre telling me 1 thing is actually 2 things?

how many fat lards do we have here

Drug listing images that i saved

Poorly colored girl

What's up normal faggots

Drop your cocks and grab you socks! We're going to be playing real manly games!

Clear your schedule and mark your calendar for April 4th (17:00 UTC time) for we are going to be playing Unreal Tournament 2004.

Installation is straightforward.

UT2004 is free so you don't have an excuse to not play!

behold!

heyuri-tan is #1

You're not gonna believe this but...

THERE ARE 2 HOURS LEFT UNTIL APRIL 2ND

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

what is the concept for april fool's this time?

AMIRE ME! BOW TO ME! I AM YOUR NEW QUEEN!

Hello, I'm back and I have a major update to my VOCALOID project! I have sucessfully achieved a shape-invariant pitch transposition!

Here it is.
First the original audio: https://files.catbox.moe/zmt3rr.wav
Now my version with WBVPM (pitched down by an octave): https://files.catbox.moe/kho97n.wav
And a version using a naive pitch shift: https://files.catbox.moe/xs39bq.wav

Notice that my version, while having more noise, sounds more natural and has less phasiness. This is particular noticeable if you play both at very low volume. One sounds much more 'human' than the other.

Also note that this an extreme example with an octave shift (or 1200 cents) - in practice, shifts would typically be far less. Also this doesn't implement several other parts of the system (more on that later).

I'll explain all of this in a moment, but first, I'd to correct some major biographical errors. Since this is a long post, I've divided it into sections

BIOGRAPHICAL CORRECTIONS

In the last post, I claimed that VOCALOID1 used Narrow-Band Voice Pulse Modeling while VOCALOID2 and onwards used Wide-Band Voice Pulse Modeling. This was incorrect, and additionally it was the source of most of my confusion surround the paper.

What actually happened is that the research technology that would later become VOCALOID1 started out as work to improve the existing Spectral Modeling Synthesis system that had been developed in the early 1990s. This improvement began work in the late 1990s. But importantly, this system evolved and techniques from it were incorporated with techniques from a system that was being developed called a Phase-Locked Vocoder, and this system would be released as VOCALOID1. In the mid-2000s, work began on combining the techniques learned from improving SMS and the PLVC-based system and attempting to combine them with the mucher older and well-known TD-PSOLA system. Importantly, TD-PSOLA (Time-Domain Pitch Synchronous OverLap and Add) was a time-domain system, while SMS was a frequency-domain system (and also TD-PSOLA was pitch synchronous - hence the name, while SMS had a constant hop size). The first technique they developed was Narrow-Band Voice Pulse Modeling, and later Wide-Band Voice Pulse Modeling. Wide-Band Voice Pulse Modeling ended it up being used in VOCALOID2.

Now that I understand this, I also understand the major mistake I made when reading the paper: I was reading it from the perspective of an implementer, thinking of the sections as the steps to implementing it instead of as research. I had thought that section 2.2 described the core processing algorithms. When it was actually about SMS, and importantly, about *the improvements they made to SMS*, and not a complete description of SMS, since SMS was already an established technique. Hence my confusion on why some things were seemingly vaguely explained, since *the paper wasn't about them*. At the same time, much of that section is very useful though because importantly, much of that research was also incorporated into the later techniques.

RESULTS

I have successfully implemented the Wide-Band Voice Pulse Modeling; synthesis; and pitch transposition, time stretching, and timbre scaling algorithms. Additionally, I have also finished implementing the full version of the pitch estimation module, changed the code to work using overlapping windows, implemented the window adaption system, and fixed countless.
