☆ INTRODUCTION ☆ Welcome to the official Scratch project that includes all of the info about Scratchy, a Scratch Cat UTAU I (@exorqism) created! Please read the whole description if you are planning to download Scratchy’s voicebank and make a song/cover with them. There is more information on Scratchy in the voicebank’s readme.txt (a text file in the voicebank file of Scratchy). ☆ PROJECT NAVIGATION ☆ • Click the green flag to start. • Move your stylus around to make most sprites shift around a bit. • Click the ‘S’ symbol in the bottom left corner to hear a sample of Scratchy’s voicebank singing Nyan Cat. • Click the ‘?’ symbol in the bottom right corner for some basic info on Scratchy. Click anywhere afterwards to exit. ☆ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ☆ — What is UTAU, and what are UTAUloids? See this page from the UTAU wiki for an in depth answer to this question: https://utau.fandom.com/wiki/UTAU Seeing as this wasn’t included in the wiki article above, I’ll add this – some completely artificial UTAUs exist, that weren’t made from human voice recordings. There are also UTAUs called jinriki UTAUs, where you get preexisting audios and turn them into voicebanks. Scratchy is a jinriki UTAU themselves. — Can I download and use this voicebank? Yes, you can! Scratchy’s voicebank is open to the public. Please note that, by using this voicebank, you agree to the terms of use/commercial use terms, and give appropriate credit to me (@exorqism), the Scratch Team, and anyone else who needs to be credited. You can find the link to download Scratchy’s voicebank if you scroll down a bit further. For information on installing UTAU/OpenUTAU and/or using voicebanks, see here: https://utau.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Downloading_and_Installing_UTAU_on_Windows — How do you make your own UTAU? It would take far too long to explain here, so here is a tutorial on how you can make your own: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/oT6pYhgjnvo?si=O4VSoMYCxikkNaWf — Is this official? No. Scratch Cat is the mascot of Scratch, created by the Scratch Team. This voicebank is fan-made and is not official or affiliated with the Scratch Team. All credits go to the Scratch Team for the original Scratch Cat. Scratchy is just a fan-made UTAU variation of Scratch Cat. — How will Scratchy sound? You can hear a sample of Scratchy singing in the project by pressing the ‘S’ button at the bottom left. Scratchy’s voicebank was made using a single “meow” sound effect from the Scratch audio library. As a result, all output vocals resemble variations of meowing rather than conventional phonemes. When creating songs or covers with Scratchy, you must convert all lyrics into “meow,” as this is the only available alias in the voicebank. • If you have any questions that weren’t answered in this section, feel free to let me know! That being said, also feel free to let me know if any of this confused you. ☆ PROFILE ☆ Names: Scratchy, Scratchloid, Scratch Cat Species: feline Gender: non-binary Pronouns: any/all (however, he/him is widely used.)
