Suddenly, a much older 2017 voicebank has appeared!
HITAO Sweet Append bank was a cutesy cvvc bank that I should really rerecord in vcv at some point~ This cover alternates between Sweet and Complex That along with a new version of Severe would be a good idea- maybe as addons to Complex? Anyway, this was a fun ust to build!

Gakuto Deshimaru χπ(Chi-Pi) Review
Lately I’ve gotten even more attention from UTAU users I’ve talked about on here and look up to and that is surreal I’m not going to lie. Today’s UTAU was made by Utautautau, whose plugins I’ve posted about many times on here. I’ve followed his circle for over a year now, and feel honored to be able to look at one of their UTAUs. Also, χπ is pronounced like “keep” in English. The more you know!

Hear a Sample of Gakuto Deshimaru Chi-Pi
Bio
Name: 学人デシマル (Gakuto Deshimaru) Age: 17 Height: About 11 CASIO FX-991ES Plus 2nd Edition Scientific Calculators Weight: About 631 CASIO FX-991ES Plus 2nd Edition Scientific Calculators Birthday: December 16 Sex: Male Character Item: Scientific Calculator Likes: Mitsuha Renko (platonically), Kaiyou Mitsuyo (platonically), Math, scientific calculators, having to wear the same set of clothes (so basically uniforms), Vine, circles, triangles Dislikes: procrastination, regular calculators Personality: A total nerd that has outstanding academic performance, but still manages to have a social life. He's very open and noisy around his friends and would do a lot of things for them. Despite of being extremely self-aware, he's very oblivious when it comes to love.
Official Site
Deshimaru has an official site on neocities. This voicebank is about 100 MB when unzipped and has fully generated frqs. I linked directly to his page, so click the “take him” button under the corresponding voicebank you’d like to download.
First Impressions
Despite being your typical poindexter, Deshimaru has a very deep and powerful voice. It is hurt a little bit by UTAU’s extreme sawtooth noises in baritone/bass register, but that isn’t his fault so I forgive him. Chi-Pi is supposed to be a powerscale, but he’s more powerful throughout. I respect any male singer who records a C4 pitch for his UTAU, but the voice cracks and instability muddles up the power of Deshimaru a bit.
Configuration
Deshimaru is a 4 pitch CVVC recorded at A2, D3, G3, and C4. He uses a very lite reclist (only 50 samples, and that’s including the extras) but is still very comprehensive. There are even alternate pronunciations added like English L and fu/hu samples. Interestingly, each of his recordings is in hiragana but has a letter at the end denoting what set of sounds the sample represents. By now I’m fluent in hiragana, but thanks anyways. He has a wide range, only petering out below D2. He also has glottal stops, vocal fry, and 3 types of breaths. I love it when there’s vocal fry for every vowel combination like he has too. His voice overall is nasal yet still resonant and deep.
My recommended flags: B50h100
My recommended resamplers: TIPS, EFB-GT, w4utau
Final Thoughts
Deshimaru is a compact, easy to use CVVC with a unique voice and tone. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who wants to flesh out their voice library folder!🤓
Got any other UTAUs you want me to review? Send an ask!

A quick test of Koru Fivet's CVVC.
I'll try to release this voicebank (and perhaps, the VCV version) for their anniversary (February 26). And, yes, I still don't know how to mix lol
