Wiki Wednesday #215 - Ao Shiro Murasaki / Ao Murasaki / 青さ玲葉で津

This UTAU is confusing, She is a seventeen year old cat person, apparently? To find art of her that wasn't a tiny, cropped icon, I had to visit her creator's deviantArt page. There's an UTAU named Ao Kurai that looks almost exactly like her?! I think she likes Japanese swords and cats, but I don't think she likes sushi.

Apparently there was a contest to rename and redesign her, but I found no information on it. I believe she is from Mexico.

Who is Mursaki Ao?

found on creator's dA gallery

Fictional Ouura again.

You might be wondering why George would get me two rings. Well, he didn't.

Madia had taken me out, just the two of us, when she told me the truth. I knew it was serious when she started coughing and hacking so that her plate would flip. She started off in Madian, "You know, I adore George, but he's a coward. We agreed I could be here for the moment if I was willing to soften the blow."

I braced myself. 

She laughed and shook her head. "No, do you think I'd let him live if he hurt you? No." She shrugged and continued. "He has wanted to marry you before he ever saw your face. But, you know why he didn't - visas and all that mess. You two getting married would make that more sticky, and he loved your nomad life even more than he felt a need to marry you." 

I slowly nodded as I rolled my click box around in my hand. 

She rolled her eyes. "I like to think that I'm a good mother because I wouldn't force either of my daughters to do anything." She was too good. I couldn't help but smile with my eyes and feel less nervous when she referred to me as her daughter. She kept on, "But, you know I've been getting his mail, right? He lets me read it. I only tell him what I think is important because I never want to take away from what you two have." She has huffed. "That ugly ring? I got it in a package from his mother."

She could see I was shocked. Technically, I knew he had a mother. But he had never spoken about her in the same way I never spoke about Iira. 

"He was 'losing his family face', or some nonsense. He should be working at his father's business by now, not off galavanting. She was serious, so she included that ring. It's an heirloom, passed from father to wife to son to wife…" She sighed. "So I told him, and he realized that it was time. He wasn't going to escape it, so…"

I was lost. I finally said something. "He's willing to give up our life to get married because his parents want him to come home?"

"Well…" Madia searched for her words. "They're loaded." She laughed. "You'll be in a mansion eating the finest foods and carrying around a cat that costs more than my entire house." She shrugged. "If I was a bad woman, I would happily take your place. You know we come from a happy, communistic little moon, but I still like opulence."

I looked up at the ceiling. I didn't really know how to feel. It was hard coming home and only having the energy to heat up instant meals. It wasn't fun to budget if we wanted rice or beans for the week. A life where we just had food and clothes and basic supplies without worrying about it? I was more than willing to give up the fun and excitement for that.

How are Ao Murasaki's banks?

Ao is meant to have six banks, but I was only able to access two. To start, the ROCK bank is very cool just because it comes with a lot of extra, fun voice clips. However, there is an issue. I believe it is meant to be CVVC, but it isn't. There's no VC that start with 'u' due to the recordings being the way they are. This is a common thing with rentan that makes me upsetti spaghetti because just a few more seconds per recording would mean CVVC. There is no VV either, so this is just a rentan bank which functions identically to a CV bank. Also... The readme has a different name: Ao Sarei Hadetsu.

The OTOs are not great and some samples seen to have clipping. However, I cannot hear clipping, so there is a chance that the samples were just extremely heavily compressed.

perfectly uniformly flat tops and bottoms of waveforms usually means that data was deleted because it was too loud.

When you just accept that this is a rentan CV bank and not anything else, this is a nice bank. The voice really does have an angry, rock vibe and is very clear.

Her other available bank was a normal, one pitch romaji encoded CV bank. There are a few hiragana aliases in the OTO file, but otherwise, no OTO file. Her voice is very cute, but it is a bit muffled.

Where can I download Murasaki Ao?

You can download her from her Fandom page.
