TIGER is an energetic, happy-go-lucky 20-something year old tiger-man. He's constantly lost in his head, thinking about what songs he's going to skate to at his roller-rink and what games he's gonna play on his Sega Dreamcast. He has a little buddy named 'Tigrito', who is a virtual pet that can pop out of his Tamagotchi-like device!TIGER was designed by the amazing Static and his official images were illustrated by the astounding Aquiboni.TIGER is a singer on the DiffSinger SVS Engine. While most of his data is recorded in English, he has support for Japanese and phonemes outside of English like Spanish and Portuguese! You can utilize TIGER in the OpenUTAU engine. To learn more about using TIGER, please read this document hosted on his Github page.You will find audio samples of each voice mode below. Please note, the current samples are not rendered from the current build of the voice, so they sound less complete than the current version.Character Information:

Boxart by tigermeat
Voice Mode - Fresh
Fresh is the default voice mode for TIGER. It's tone is the most consistent, and is the most dynamic. The high range is bright and has falsetto, while the low range is weaker and airy.
Core Range: A2 to A4 | Falsetto: B4+
Voice Mode - DISCO
Disco deviates from the other voice modes by providing a more soft and mellow tone, without being too soft.
The high, middle and low ranges all have a soft but not too airy tone.
Core Range: A2 to A4 | Falsetto: B4+
Voice Mode - Electric
Electric is a shocking and powerful voice mode. The high range can hit much higher notes before switching to a falsetto, and the middle range is bright and sharp.
Core Range: B2 to C5 | Falsetto: C#5+
Voice Mode - Vinyl
Vinyl is TIGER's most unique voice mode, having a booming and mature tone. With a much greater focus on strong deep lows, this voice mode excels with musical-esque songs.
Core Range: G#2 - G#4 | Falsetto: A4+
Voice Mode - Mystic
Mystic is a new and more experimental voice mode meant to be the polar opposite to Electric: extremely soft and whispered. It currently lacks data and will generally be unstable.
Core Range: B2 - C4 | Falsetto: C4+
Voice Mode - Glam
Glam is a resonant power voice mode that pushes the limits of what TIGER can do! It's a loud rock type voice, with crazy belts and very lose, quirky pronunciation.
Core Range: C3 - C5 | Falsetto: N/A
Voice Mode - Royal
Falsetto is a supplemental voice mode, giving you more control over when TIGER's falsetto begins. It's more consistent in tone compared to the falsetto automatically activate in other voice modes. In the sample, it sounds like a normal voice due to the lack of lower data and parallel machine learning.Strongest Range: F4+

Leif was created in collaboration with FerretFather and tigermeat. He is recorded in English and Japanese, and comes with 4 voice modes: Blossom, Petal, Uprooted and Lush. They are split into 8 different modes however, each voice mode has an English and Japanese version.Description from FerretFather: "Being quite literally nothing but a mass of plants, be can seem quite aloof or unfocused. His behavior, while vaguely human, can seem awkward and unusual. He does go out of his way however to display acts of kindness and cares deeply for those in close proximity to him. Depending on his perceived mood, he can sprout different colors of flowers in his beard. Being comprised of nothing but plants, Leif technically does not have a gender, but uses he/they pronouns and seems to be attracted to men."
Please take a listen to this demonstration of Leif's Voice!

Well Hello There!
Howdy! I'm Tyler. I'm 25, from Chicago and do lots of internet things. I currently am focused hard on developing voices for DiffSinger, but I also code apps and things in Python! If you have a question, or just wanna say hi, feel free to hit me up at any of the places below! You'll see me the most active on twitter, however!
Contact me
DiffSinger Install/Usage Guide
In this guide, you'll find some information on how to install and utilize DiffSinger. The guides to install are specific to TGM Characters, but usage is pretty universal!All guides on this page will be using Windows 11, but the same steps should apply for your personal operating system. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly!
Step 1: Download Voice + Install
First, you'll need to install OpenUTAU. TGM DiffSingers will work on any fork of OpenUTAU that supports DiffSinger, however I recommend using the main, official version of OpenUTAU. Please follow this link to download OpenUTAU from Github. The Github page has a few guides to ensure you're able to install properly!Next, you'll want to download the voice library. On each characters respective page, you'll want to click "Download", generally the first button at the top of their page. You'll download a file called something like "TIGER_DS_(version#)_PACK.zip". This will include all of the necessary things you need to use the voice.Upon unzipping the "pack" file, you'll see something similar to this screenshot below.
"Voice Library" contains the voice library. Drag the ".zip" file in that folder into OpenUTAU, hit "apply" on the prompt that pops up and once all of the items are unloaded, you'll be able to start using the voice!"OpenUTAU Plugins" contains any custom plugins the singer can use, specifically the TGM English Phonemizer. Drag the ".dll" files into OpenUTAU and click "okay" on the prompt for each. You'll need to restart OpenUTAU to use these phonemizers.
After completing the steps above, you're ready to start using DiffSinger in OpenUTAU!
Step 2: Adjust Settings in Preferences
By default, OpenUTAU will try to render DiffSinger with the default settings, which I highly recommend changing. To adjust, in the main window click "Tools > Preferences..."
Scroll down to "Rendering".If you do not have a GPU in your system, or are not using a Windows version of OpenUTAU, you'll want to leave "Machine Learning Runner" as the default. If you have a GPU on Windows, change it to "directml". If you are using a GPU, ensure the proper one is selected in the "GPU" drop-down box.Ensure "DiffSinger Render Depth" is set to 400, and you can change "DiffSinger Render Speedup" depending on your preference. For playing in editor and working on vocals, I recommend 50-100 speedup, but for rendering you'll want to lower it to 10-20. Lower speedup values will render higher quality vocals, but take longer and require more computing power.
Step 3: Basic Usage
For using a DiffSinger voice for the first time, you'll want to select the voice from the track and ensure you're using the proper phonemizer!
To select the singer, click on "Select Singer" from the track you're using. If you do not see a newly installed singer there, click on "DiffSinger..." at the bottom, and an expanded list of installed singers will appear for you to choose from.
To select the phonemizer, click the line below "Select Singer" after selecting a singer, and choose from a list of Phonemizers. All DiffSinger phonemizers have the prefix "DIFFS". DiffSinger will only work with the special DiffSinger phonemizers. TGM Voices work best with "DIFFS EN" or "DIFFS EN TGM", but all voices will support "DIFFS", "DIFFS ES", and the yet-to-be-released "DIFFS JA". To use voices in Japanese, currently support is available via "DIFFS" by using Hiragana lyrics.
Step 4: Editing the Voice
This section will cover utilizing DiffSinger in the most efficient way possible, like directly editing phonemes, using the built in pitch model, and putting the voice modes to work!
Above is a screenshot of the OpenUTAU musical part editor. This is where the magic happens! You can see a few different things; the control bar at the top, the notes, the phoneme timings and the parameter bar at the bottom. These are the big 4 things you'll be looking at while using DiffSinger.You'll type your lyrics in the notes you see or enter in the part, but what if one part isn't said the way you'd like it to be? You may notice in the screenshot above that some of the lyrics are inside of square brackets "[ ]". Any notes with those brackets will be read as phonemes as opposed to lyrics. You can see how the note with "[f aa]" has the phonemes "f" and "aa" in the phoneme timing section.
If you'd like to load pitch from the built in pitch-tuning model, select the line you'd like to render pitch on and click "Batch Edit > Notes > Load Rendered Pitch
After clicking that, you'll notice that there is a pitch curve drawn on top of the notes you selected!
If you want to make any changes to the pitch, you'll click the "Draw Pitch Tool" at the top (pencil with the line, right of the eraser) or press "4" on your keyboard.
Next, let's play around with the voice modes! To active them in the parameter editor, you'll click the gear icon at the bottom left.
After clicking the gear, select "Add all expressions suggested by renderers" and click "Apply". This will allow you to use all voice modes as curves, but also things like the proper GEN curve, proper VELC curve and pitch expressiveness.
After doing so, you'll be able to select any parameter from the drop down and use it as a curve! You can get some very expressive singing by mixing parameters and voice modes together this way!
Step 5: Conclusion
To conclude, there's a ton of different ways to use DiffSinger, so play around and find out what works best for you! If you have any questions, or run into any issues, please do not hesitate to reach out for me. My contact information can be found below!
