VSQ help?

Does anyone else get this? Whenever I import a VSQ or a MIDI into UTAU, it just ends up saying "Bad Name or File Number"

Anyone else get this? And any solutions?

I don't get it... But I heard somewhere it can be becfause your PC cannot read hiragana... Or something like that.

smeen is right. It comes from a faulty file that can't be read by UTAU.

To use hiragana voicebanks you have two options:
Change the locale to Japanese or use UTAU with AppLocale (not close to 100% working with kana VBs because UTAU has a high chance of hanging.. but sometimes it works for me with an aliased defoko and the zip UTAU).

Even if you do that and you still have the error is because the voicebank was badly unpacked. Use AppLocale in Japanese or change the locale to Japanese when you decompress your files.
Oh, you also need Japanese compability in your windows already installed. Try to rename "あ.wav" any file, if instead "あ" you get an square or something, you haven't the files installed. How to do it?... You need the Windows CD, install things, ugh... or try the next option...

If you don't want to use AppLocale or change locale to japanese or you can't install the Japanese compability for the files in your Windows, you still have the full romaji option:
Download UTAU with the zip option (not the installation) from the UTAU download page.
Unzip it and delete defoko (because the defoko of the download is in kana, you can use a romaji one later of course).
Use from now on only use voicebanks encoded with roman alphabet.
Note that symbols like ↑ and ↓ can make it crash even if the voicebank has any other letter roman... because those aren't ANSII symbols I think, not sure.
I think kana alias is not a problem but as kana symbols appear as gibberish you can't use them anyway. Oh, yeah, the ust must be in romaji to work (but you can open one with hiragana anyway, the text is just unreadable).

If you still have the problem, you can try to make a new project, and use "append" instead "import". Choose there in "Files of type" the option "All files" to be able to select midi and vsq.

Let me try changing the wav. files names to Hiragana. I've set it's Alias to Hiragana characters and my computer can read and type Hiragana as well.

oh well, I perfectly cannot open any VSQ file. when I imported it, nothing happened (_ _)"
anyone knows why?

I just made a topic to (hopefully) help fix this issues. refer to it here: https://overseasutau.forumotion.net/tutorial-and-resources-directory-f31/having-vsq-troubles-change-your-default-voice-t4285.htm

Don't worry :3 I got it all fixed. Oh! And hello8bit! I love your icon :D

Thanks! Drew it myself~
