UTAU for Mac: UTAU-Synth
A Mac OS X version of the UTAU software has been released. More info after the break.
Until now, Mac users couldn’t enjoy UTAU, and were limited to only using proprietary software like the Macne series instead as there was no Mac OS X version of Vocaloid either. But they can now rejoice as an UTAU port, called “UTAU-Synth”, has been announced! For now, there’s only a 30 day trial version, and there’s no additional info as of now as to what will be coming up next.
Check out this cover of Kenji Sawada’s “Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni” by mazzo.
According to the official UTAU-Synth website, the interface has been completely redone and there are three new features: lyric input works the same regardless of the type of voicebank (be it renzoku-on, aka continuous, or regular VB’s), the possibility to place notes freely, and click-and-drag rectangular selection.
You can download the UTAU-Synth 1.0.0 b11 version here, get your 30 day license here, and check the online help here (Japanese). In case the links don’t work, go directly to the download page.
There goes all my free time this summer.
Extremely seconded.
I’m glad to hear more news about this, and that cover sounds awesome.
But by ‘get your 30 day licence’ does that mean they’ll make you pay for it? That is like, against the biggest advantage of UTAU…
The interface looks pretty.
And that is all I can say about that.
Lol maybe if I have time I'll actually see if the compatibility with Logic is something possible.
Going to try this out! Interface is pretty and I've never played with UTAU before so this could be a great chance for me to become more familiar with them. There goes my uni projects…
I'm not even an UTAU fan, but I still plan on losing hours and hours with this 🙂
YES!! FINALLY!!! I've been waiting forever! And ever! So you need to download a Utau's voice banks for it to work then?
It has a default voicebank with it, but you can definitely download more voicebanks.
Awesoooome and it has nothing to do with GarageBand which makes it a million times better! As long as the port is free like the original, I'm happy.
I usually hate UTAU with a passion because of its messy format and poor voice banks but this Mac version looks very nicely cleaned up. It looks like at step in the right direction with putting the voice effects ( Dynamics, Brightness, Breathiness, etc,etc ) at the bottom then on the notes themselves.
i don't how to add voice banks on it D:
aww thank you 😀 but do you know how to create a new UTAU with UTAU-Synth ? D:
I wonder if there's still a delay before the singing starts? I'll have to try this once I get access to a Mac, but I'll likely be getting one this fall/winter anyway
when will the full version come out?
i hope soon, but for now, can we renew the 30-day thing? or do we need to back up our stuff made with this, uninstall, download again, and register again?
or… is it just 30 days and ur done? ;_;
finally! I now have a reason for being locked in my room this summer! =D
website no longer works to dl it T__T HELP ASAP!
how can i renew UTAU-Synth?
I sold my windows-based PC… and the 30 day trial is over TT.TT
What can i do?
what is the registration key? D:
A register key lets you download and use UTAU-Synth. If you go to the second link provided (in the last paragraph), you’ll see a row of links. Click on the third one from the left (it has the number 30 in its name). A window will pop up with the license code. It is good for a 30 day trial. Just get a new code every time you need to renew your license.
I can’t seem to get the register key for the 30 day trial
What happend after the thirty day trial?
After the 30 day trial, the license is invalid. You need to go back to link where you got your first code and get a new one. Using that code, you should be able to renew your license for another 30 days.
I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11. Is there and UTAU-Synth for that? E-mail me. JocyStudio gmail.com
hey… umm i have utau synth and everytime i play a song it closes down 🙁 any ideas on how to stop this from happening>?
WHATS THE REGISTER KEY?! 🙁

Once it expires, just get a new one using the same link (there will be a new one by that time).
Where the number 30 is, click the link and it’ll open a new window~
Then you’ll get the registration key~
How do i make it english? it is all in japanese, i cant remember what kind either :p Kanji!!! thats it. help me please
I downloaded it, and downloaded new voice banks like Michiyo Ishimaru, but when in the program, the voice banks won’t sing! Not even the simple “Ah~”. I think I need to change my default UTAU, however, it’s in japanese so I have no idea how to…
It’s probably because of the voice banks use a different type of japanese writing (if you get what I mean) the most common one they use is hiragana.
Is it possible to translate it into EnglisH?
yes, there is a tutorial on youtube on how to make it english, i did it and it works fine
Could you give me the link for it? I tried looking for it, but I really couldn’t find it.
any English forum discussing UTAU-Synth for Mac?
Always thought japanese was hard… But once you know chinese, everything else is easier ^ ^ Though I’m not getting the license part. Do we need to renew?
if the licence expires, yeah ^^
um yeah well i downloaded the latest version of utau and when i tried to open int it said that there was no licence and that i had to register a key (it’s asking for a kind of password thing) help anyone? (i don’t know if this matters but my computer has the lion system)

just downloaded and it says “no licence” when i tried typing in the code it wouldnt let me through
Just copy the link from your license and paste it in. That may help (you might have typed it in wrong). If it still doesn’t work, try getting a new code.
A new 30-day trial code is released every month. You can renew your trial with a new code.
it says 404 not found
What is a regist key? .-.

if the 30 day thing expires, u just get a new code thingmobob and then do the same thing you did for your first license code thingy.
Do you know how to get the licence code?
go get a new code again and do the same thing that you did the first time~
When I try to open the UTAU-Synth application, the warning ““UTAU-Synth” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.” comes up. How do I get UTAU-Synth to open anyways?
Right click on the app and select open instead of just doubling clicking the app to open it. You’ll be able to open it this way.
To make an utau, you need Audacity or a recording program of some kind (Audacity is the best one to use). I can’t find it right now, but there are syllable lists for the necessary syllables for English and Japanese utaus. You record all of them on the Audacity (or whichever program you choose to use) separately. For each one, you make them louder, then fade in and fade out, then louder again. Save them as .wav files. Make a folder for your UTAU and then for the syllables. Once your done with the voice bank, you can start on UTAU or UTAU-Synth. This is as far as I can help you as I have zero experience with UTAU and UTAU-Synth. Just ask if you have questions or need clarifications 😀
Yes, you need to download or make and Utau voice bank and upload it to the program (UTAU or UTAU-Synth, whichever one you have/use).
I keep using the GenEdit thing to do stuff to the UTAU, but it always deletes the work I did on it. Am I doing anything wrong? There’s no Save window popping up.
Which link to i click for the liscence? >_<
I put the license code in the usual box, but when I press the button thing, it won’t go through. I deleted it and re-downloaded it, but it still doesn’t work.
The link doesn’t work anymore. 🙁
hello, I have a problem. Utau worked fine until one day the 30 days code stopped working and now I don’t know what to do (google translator :P)
Can’t download it from the website…
the link says 403 Forbidden
no, it just means that you cant use until you redeem it again, but there is a way to not have to put a license once a month though.
