AHOY UF! I decided to make this baby tutorial for y'all bc I'm not sure how many utaforumers know of this trick: how to make your utau growl without the use of a plugin.

It's really quite simple. First, you must select the note you want the "growl" effect to be used on. Here, I selected "Na" on this UST of Undead Enemy

After you select your note, right click it and select "Pitch"

If your vibrato box is unchecked, click it so that it is checked.

After that, you'll want to set:
  • the length of your vibrato to 100
  • the cycle to 12 (you will have to type this in manually)
  • the depth to 200
Screenshot (5).png

Your box should look something like this.

IMPORTANT: after you have filled out your box, tap the ENTER key on your keyboard. If you click the OK button, your vibrato cycle will be switched back to 64.

Once you tap the ENTER key on your keyboard, your note will look like this

now this probably looks really scary, but it sounds pretty decebt actually.

But what's this? When you go to mix the audio, suddenly you can't hear it anymore? This has a simple fix. Just drag the vibrato as far up as it can go. up until it looks like this

now, you'll be able to hear it when you export the audio for mixing.

IMPORTANT: If you are using this cheat in Moresampler, the effect will mot be as intense as using MG+ or by using another resampler, although it still technically works.

I got it to work and it sounds like a decent enough growl. I think I saw a tutorial for this for UTAU-Synth back in the day, it's nice to see one for UTAU-PC.

Btw, make sure to input the cycle value last and then click enter. Otherwise, it will change when you enter something else after it. And also, it does work with moresampler, it's just not a full on growl. More like the vibrato is cycling too fast that you can't hear it (that's my logical explanation). Also, 12 is below the default for the program so it makes sense why it won't really work for moresampler. And moresampler already has it's own growling capabilities so... kinda not necessary

Try changing the cycle value from 12 to 20 with moresampler and you will somewhat get the same results. As I expected, the value is too low so it's kinda cancelling itself. You can drop the value lower but it might not be noticeable after that.

I tried it the vibrato still looks far apart.

did you press enter on your keyboard instead of the OK button on the screen?

if you did, i'd recommend trying that again because i had a similar thing happen before taking one of my screenshots and VocaAddict recommended setting the cycle to 20 if you're using Moresampler
