# Usage Guide

## The voicebank line

The イーライ project is a growing Japanese CVVC voicebank family:

- **イーライ** — Generation 1, the original bank.
- **茜音イーライ** — Generation 2, the released expanded form with a more feminine and queer vocal/character expression.
- **茜音イーライ・暁** — Generation 3, the incoming development with cleaned samples, new appends and extras.

Each generation is part of the same lineage and can be understood as a different stage of the voice's growth.

## Current released bank — 茜音イーライ

茜音イーライ is a Japanese CVVC voicebank with three pitches: A3, F3 and C3.

- Encoding: Romaji
- Alias format: CVVC
- Optimum BPM: 70–120
- Primary recommendation: TIPS for bass preservation
- Other recommendations: Moresampler, WORLDLINE-R, wavtool4vcv

The bank keeps a warm, bass-leaning core while offering clearer upper-register material and improved phoneme clarity compared with the original form.

## Recommended use

The current bank is designed for expressive phrasing and is especially suited to fast or rambling lines, chant-like sections and subtle glitched ad-libs. Its warm low register can provide texture, while the clearer upper range can remain present in dense arrangements.

## Moresampler expressions

- Velocity: 0–200
- Gender: -100 to 100
- Tone Shift: -36 to 36
- Breathiness: 0–100
- Tension: -200 to 200
- Growl: 0–100

See `VOICEBANK.md` or [the localized technical page](../technical.html) for the meaning of each parameter.

## Expression and identity

The later generations intentionally allow more feminine, queer, fluid and gender-nonconforming expression. This is part of the project's artistic development alongside the real voice provider's non-binary self-understanding and movement toward a place between genders.
