wav samples from a voicebank through a resampling engine. VSQX filetype, and thus must be converted using the VSQX->VSQ Job Plugin in Vocaloid, or through the use of a third outside program such as Cadencii. There is no current native support for Vocaloid3's. UTAU is also capable of importing MIDI files and Vocaloid 1 and 2's. ust, or 'UTAU Sequence Text.' Users often distribute these. UTAU saves the user-created files that contain all these settings under the extension. Users can then modify tempo, pitch, portamento, vibrato, envelope, consonant velocity and many other settings to change the quality and tone of the voice. Filenames and/or aliases are usually organized by individual phonemes, as UTAU has no built-in dictionary function like Vocaloid or TTS systems. wav samples in an UTAU voicebank can either be accessed directly by the filename (for example, 'ka.wav') or by an 'alias' set up in the oto.ini configuration file (for example, ka.wav in a Japanese voicebank might also be accessed as hiragana か in the lyric editor).

UTAU was developed from the concept of Jinriki ('manual') Vocaloid, a practice in which existing voice samples are spliced, re-assembled and pitched to create a singing voice in software such as Melodyne. The PC version also has a shareware option through donation. Though its purpose is similar to the Vocaloid software created by Yamaha, UTAU functions natively as a stand-alone program on both PC and Mac OSX platforms without requiring a VSTi plugin for third-party software (see: UTAU-Synth) and is licensed as freeware.
