HOW TO USE

Super Lite    Contains the bare basics to be considered a VoiceBank, but lacks some of the less common but still frequent phonemes that voicebanks should possess.

Lite    Still only contains basic phonemes, but includes a lot more than Super Lite (i.e compound vowel phonemes) and expands upon a few of the phonemes.

Standard    Adds a few extra phonemes not native to Japanese words, but commonly used in music.

Thorough    Adds lesser-used and redundant sounds, such as "consonant + ye" and "wu".

Extreme    Contains Japanese phonemes I've never actually seen being used and adds unused sounds such as "consonant + yi".

Extra    To be used in conjunction with any of the other above reclists. Adds consonants from other languages, end breaths, glottal stops, vocal fries, and in the case of CV, VV support.
