rolled /r/ in Japanese

robsogge · 2022 年 4 月 2 日午後 2:28

hi all, I’m trying to have Kevin sing in Italian, and found out that if I choose Japanese as the language it’s already close… one thing though I can’t get, which is the rolled (trilled) r . Wondering if there is a phoneme that corresponds to a rolled r in the Japanese language… thank you for any help

None of the languages that SynthV is compatible with (English, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese) feature a trilled “r”, so you’re out of luck.

thanks but that’s not completely true, here’s an example by Blancanegra, from VI control forum:

thanks a lot, are those “r d r d”? Definition is low in that image

Yes, r d r d & unvoicing.

I know it’s been year later, but I had a quick question! Does this only work with certain voicebanks? I wanted to use rolled r’s in a song with Kasane Teto AI, but when I input the r’s it just won’t play it at all. Any suggestions??
