Utaeno

Utaeno is a Japanese vocaloid software developed by Yamaha Corporation. It is part of the Vocaloid family of synthesized singing voice software, which allows users to create music by inputting melodies and lyrics. Utaeno is known for its soft and gentle vocal tone, often described as melancholic or ethereal. The voicebank for Utaeno was derived from a female singer, aiming for a more mature and emotional sound compared to some earlier Vocaloid releases.

The development of Utaeno was part of Yamaha's ongoing efforts to expand the range of vocal characteristics available within the Vocaloid engine. Its release offered producers a new option for creating ballads, ambient music, and other genres that benefit from a nuanced and expressive vocal performance. Like other Vocaloid products, Utaeno is a software synthesizer that requires a separate music production program to be used effectively. Users can adjust pitch, vibrato, and other vocal parameters to fine-tune the output. While not as widely known as some of the more popular Vocaloid characters, Utaeno has a dedicated following among music creators seeking its unique vocal qualities.
