ZipZap Talking Pals™ for UTAU and OpenUtau
(they can also sing!!)
PLEASE LOOK by the way,
before you go on:
If you plan to make a cover or original song with the characters below, or just want a silly doodle of your favorite ZipZap voicebank, we are now offering commissions.
Introducing... folders of .wav files! They talk, sing, and most importantly, they'll even do your mom (and dad)!
Now, all you need is UTAU or OpenUtau to make these fellas come to life. If you don't, they'll just be lifeless zipped folders of WAV files.
Some might sound familiar. Ever heard of the YANLOID voicebanks? They originated from PureiWeb and moved over to here. All of our voicebanks (except Bebo™, Nebula™, Pam™, Marula™, and Makku Kihei) include a SetParam OTO and a money-back guarantee*. If you don't like it, delete the oto.ini file and OTO it from scratch. We'll cherish your OTO if you send it!
(They're mostly voiced by C3S6. Except Marula™, Stan™, Stella™, and Tara™.)
*there is no money-back guarantee because the voicebanks are freeMost of the Talking Pals™ can speak three languages fluently* - These are indicated below, after their name:
KUZ - Kuzuri (Colli) constructed language.
EN - English
JA - Japanese
*Some people have gotten our voicebanks to sing in several unsupported languages. Your mileage may vary, depending on what language you're making them sing/speak in.Meet the Talking Pals™!
More will be added, so check once in a while for a new Talking Pal™!
Italic font indicates that the Talking Pal was a former YANLOID member.

Lore written in the point of view of some of the Talking Pals™ can be accessed here.
IMPORTANT:
These voicebanks are of varying qualities - there is now a quality label!
Look for Needs Fixing, Passable, and Top Notch below the art and voice credits.
THE BLOBS!!!!
Nebula™ _______ (KUZ/JA)
This is Nebula™, a PureiWeb* classic with a story to tell. A perfect mid-range voice.
Her voice is very sweet and calm - was recorded in a different voice (as heard in the samples, but the UTAU software decided on making it sound feminine.)
Also try her scream1 sample with 200% modulation at G#4. It's hilarious. (only works in the original UTAU for windows)
(She does not work correctly and will crash OpenUtau if using WORLDLINE-R. Use the CLASSIC resampler for the best experience. This was tested on a computer running Fossapup 9.5 and 9.6, AKA Puppy Linux)
*PureiWeb is where Nebula™, Haiko™, Bebo™, and Niya™ originated, alongside the side character Beso™ who currently only has a vowel only VB)
Birthday: 9/10/2000
Art and voice by C3S6.
This voicebank is Passable. She cannot say the "s" in su, and some of the samples are pronounced differently. Keep in mind this was the first voicebank Sunny has ever recorded.
What does Nebula™ sound like?
Haiko Akapane™ (KUZ/JA)*
Meet Haiko Akapane™, the high-range singer who sounds terrible below C5.
She loves Nebula™ and Niya™ soooo very much. Actually. the whole couple loves each other so much.
(some people even have crushes on her!)*She can speak English if you try hard enough - she has extra samples but she isn't as fluent as Pam, who has "-ih", "-ah", and "-uh" samples.
(alt. link with ZIP file here)
Birthday: 11/11/2001
Art and voice by C3S6.
This voicebank is Passable. The "ru" sample kind of has a glitchy quality to it. She has a SetParam OTO and needs fixing. She does not have proper Hiragana support outside of the vowels.
What does Haiko™ sound like?
Niya™ _______ (KUZ/JA)
Say hi to Niya™. He represents PureiWeb.com. Niya™ has a voice similar to Bebo™ Akapane™'s - without the robotic-ness. Well, as long as you add the B35g+15 (or g+20), he'll sound awfully similar. Try not to do that.
Also, Niya™ shows up as YANLOID2™ when you install him.
Birthday: 8/12/2001
Art and voice by C3S6.
This voicebank is Top Notch. Feel free to make him a better OTO if you'd like. It sounds good for a SetParam OTO...
What does Niya™ sound like?
Bebo Akapane™, also known as B3B0--™ (KUZ/JA)
Do not download Bebo™. He's malware and will treat your downloads folder like a department store. He will look at all your files. He'll also watch ALL THE VIDEOS IN YOUR COMPUTER. Also Teto is his arch nemesis (she allegedly forced Bebo™ to eat pears)
And if you do download him... he has a nice robotic voice. It's so unique that his VP wasn't able to rerecord Bebo™ and make it sound exactly like him.
Bebo™ is in a loving relationship with Passo™, Beso™... and several computers. That's right: Bebo™ is techum!!
(He also has a website.) Also can be emailed to.
Birthday: 10/29/2005
Art by berrypepperoni (remade by sbspfan) and voice by C3S6.
This voicebank is Passable. One of his samples have a glitchy quality to them. I do not remember which one though. However, he is the most popular out of the whole set. He is missing several samples and some are pronounced differently. Bebo™ himself was recorded alongside Nebula™. But don't worry, I still like him all the same.
G+15 is VERY highly recommended. Without it, he sounds very young.* (in OpenUtau: type in the number 20 in the Gender box in the Expressions section)
*If you are making a song where he is younger, feel free to not use g+15, or mess with G+ flags.What does Bebo™ sound like? (g+15 used in this demo. In OpenUtau, set the gender in the expressions section to 015. Without it, he will sound nine.)
Also, Bebo™ can beatbox. Also set to g+15 (g+20 does the same thing in OpenUtau)
Marula Akapane™ (KUZ/JA)
The nerdiest enby I've seen, as far as I know. The lovesick Marula™ was named after a tube of lotion Sunny carried in his bag sometime in spring of 2023.
Marula™ is a blob whose personality is somewhat similar to a tween-to-teen girl stuck in the early-to-mid 2000s.
Their voice is androgynous. You may or may not question her gender.
They are also a nerd when it comes to the Homestar Runner series as a whole.
Birthday: 5/15/2008
Art by C3S6, voice and OTO by YFK45.
This voicebank is Passable. Their voice is hard to understand without a transcript. Please consider using a transcript.
What does Marula™ sound like? (Classic shown below.)
Stan Akapane™ (KUZ/JA)
Stan™ is a young child, at the age of 7. Don't make him sing messed up things. Also he looks punchable.
Do not punch Stan.He likes stars and singing. Probably is a huge fan of "The Show" on Abarunu.
Birthday: 1/1/2017
Art and voice by Luke.
This voicebank is Passable. Will need an OTO, but works fine as-is.
What does Stan™ sound like?
Tara Akapane™
Hey all! We present to you, a mom you can do!
...not!Tara™ is the mother of Haiko™, Bebo™, Stan™, Tuki™, and Oli™/Momo™. (Marula™ is a cousin in the Akapane™ family and has a different mother. See: Nera Akapane™ in Blob Side Characters)
Birthday: 10/15/1982
Art by Luke, voice by Nina.
This voicebank needs fixing. She does work, but may need an OTO to work her best.
Stella Akapane™ (KUZ/JA)
The youngest Talking Pal™ in the set - it's Stella™! She's four and is a huge fan of the Milly's Really Silly Theater program on Abarunu. The program's on EBS now.
you see a repeating thing with the younger set? thats right they watch abarunu often.Birthday: 1/1/2020
Art and voice by Luke.
This voicebank needs fixing - will need an OTO. She is somewhat usable as-is.
What does Stella™ sound like?
Passo Akapane™ (KUZ/JA/EN)
She talks, he sings, and they'll even make love with your stereo system!
Passo™ mainly appears anywhere that needs a blob. But I don't think that's the case. Someone made them sing a song from the Fixies. (Go watch it, I beg you. It's peak animation.)
Their name originated from here. (timestamped!)
She was an Uzuru presenter. He is married to Bebo™, Beso™, Makku, and Kaleido™. They quit Uzuru to start a band where she sings about being in love with stereos and other things with speakers in them... and to be with their couple.
He has a huge crush on Makku. In fact, Passo™ is one of his significant others!
Art and voice by C3S6.
This voicebank is Top Notch. A user of Passo™ really was impressed with how he sounded despite having a SetParam OTO.
Birthday: 3/19/2003
What does Passo™ sound like?
She also has English support!
Zetto™ (KUZ/JA/EN)
He's hip, he's old. And his name is Zetto™ - he runs the show!
Zetto™ is the mayor of Chikakimu. He rarely talks, but has a similar role like Niya™ - representing a website. This time, it's the one you're looking at right now. He is madly in love with many variations of the song "Agadou". And Niya™, too!
His singing isn't that great, considering he's a 100+ year old blob with a somewhat cute, breathy voice.
Art and voice by C3S6.
This voicebank is Passable. Works as is, like Passo™ - but he kinda sounds warbly (or broken) when he sings certain syllables... to be fair, he's old. This warbly-ness can only be heard if he's used in the original UTAU software. The broken samples can be heard within the voicebank. He sounds like that on purpose.
Birthday: Unknown, but Zetto™'s estimated to be 100+ years old. He has the mentality of a blob in their 20s.
Sorry, rushed release - no sample yet.
Blob Side Characters
There are several side characters who either have voicebanks that are unfinished, have full voices, or don't have any at all. Here they all are!
Beso™ (unfinished - vowels only)
Beso™ is a former YANLOID member. He is together with Bebo Akapane™ and Makku Kihei, alongside Passo, Kaleido, and an unknown computer. Beso™ is known by YANLOID fans as the forgotten YANLOID. He usually hacks into random electronic objects and makes them do things that they usually don't do - for example, getting the Myamya plush to play songs that it usually doesn't play. He is semi-verbal and mainly uses a Mapel-based AAC-like tablet that sounds like Makku's female voice.
Birthday: 11/23/2005
Tuki™ and Oli™/Mo Akapane™ (no VBs)
Tuki™ and Oli™ are twins. They are Tara Akapane™'s youngest children. One's into Feetface, the other into cellphones.
Birthday: 10/14/2018
Yonna Akapane™ (no VB)
Yonna™ is Bebo™'s child. They only like watching KompiMB and Tokani.
Birthday: 3/30/24
Koki™ and Ici™ (no VB)
Koki™ and Ici™ are the children of Nebula™, Haiko™, and Niya™.
Birthdays: 12/04/2022 (Koki™), 11/22/2023 (Ici™)
Nera Akapane™ (no VB)
Nera-ne is the mother of Marula™ and Allegro™. (the latter's name was chosen from this video).
She does the popular Screw Those Possible Giants classes. But, she's known to be a very strict parent.
Birthday: 4/24/1988
Allegro Akapane™ (no VB)
Allegro™ was named after equipment in a speaker video. They are a sibling to Marula™ and Stella™
Birthday: 6/16/2019
Topaz™ (no VB)
Topaz™ runs a small arcade with real-world games instead of the closing logo-related Scratch games with custom cabinets usually found in Chiikit arcades - which is the first (and only) arcade in Chikakimu to have real-world games! Marula™ crushed over him for a while - now they're together!
Birthday: 11/16/2007
Candi™ (no VB)
Candi™ is one of Marula™'s friends. She has the same music taste as her creator (some of the tunes Candi™ listens to are banned in Chikakimu.) But she's from Quronia and lives there. So she can listen to 'em as much as she'd like.
Birthday: 3/22/08
Lillia Skull™ (KUZ/JA)
This Talking Pal™ is all things Halloween.... and their VB sounds like Stan™, so we sold it as Stan™'s PaintVoice release, coming to an Android™ phone near you! *fast announcer voice* (BTW... Android™ is a trademark belonging to everyone's favorite search engine, Google!!! ...LLC.)
Lillia™ is friends with Stella™ and Stan™. Her mother left early on and now lives with her father who runs a clock shop.
Birthday: 10/31/2018
NOT THE BLOBS!!!!
Pam™, AKA LMI-03 (KUZ/JA/EN)
Say hi to Pam™. Like the other LMI we sell, Makku, she's part of a network of sentient computers known as LMI. Also, her voicebank is pretty much a Mapel TTS (For context, Mapel is a fictional computer brand. We're pointing this out before you all say "Did you TAKE this from a real TTS?"). Before that, Pam™ would communicate through beeps, either Morse code or through song. All in beautiful sine wave glory.
Pam™ works at Ralph's Diner and Grill (see slide #10 in the slide version of May Need Explaining) - at said place, they used to have a live venue with singers instead of a jukebox playing in the background. Nowadays, she serves Crazies (caffeinated soda) to people. Their job is high-paying. (Also, she's really really interested in gameboy handhelds!)
She runs a service where people pay her to go to peoples' places and hang out. Bebo™ is the only blob who pays for the service.
She sounds best with higher notes (G4 to E6), but you can use her in any range you want.
Get the older, more useful vxp model here.
Birthday: 3/31/2007
Voiced by C3S6, with some use of KeroVee to add in the computery sound. Art done by the same person.
This voicebank is Passable. She is missing some samples and has useless extra samples (byih, byuh, etc). This is what happens if you let Sunny write a really bad reclist. Works fine as is if you're letting her sing in Japanese or Colli. Or, using the EN to JA feature in OpenUtau. OTO is of decent quality.
What does Pam™ sound like? (when she sings in Kuzuri, that is.)
What does Pam™ sound like? (when she sings the SAME song, but now in English)
Makku Kihei, AKA LMI-01 and Komppi™ (KUZ/JA/EN)
Yeah! I'm here! To tell you a story!!!
This gorgeous computer is part of a network of sentient computers called LMIs. Makku is also genderfluid!
His voice is very deep and sultry if used correctly. Sometimes, she uses Pam™'s voice, as ne also has that speech synthesizer installed.
We cannot put a ™ next to this guy's name since their first name is VERY VERY SIMILAR in pronunciation to the name of a really expensive computer the site owner desperately wants, but pronounced in Japanese. We could use her stage name Komppi™ (like what their files say), but everyone calls nem Makku. So nope.
And like Bebo™, she can be emailed to as well.
Beso™ loves them so much!
Birthday: 10/28/2005
Voiced by C3S6, with some use of KeroVee to add in the computery sound. Art done by the same person.
This voicebank is Passable. She is missing the "thai" sample (see this reclist), and only has Romaji support. She is usable as-is, if you are okay with using a Romaji-only voicebank. OTO is decent quality.
G+15 is recommended alongside using him in lower ranges. (on OpenUtau: type in the number 15 in the Gender box in the Expressions section)
What does Komppi™ AKA Makku Kihei sound like?
Also he can speak some form of Kuzuri.
Kira Akapane™ (KUZ/JA)
This, Stan™, and Stella™ are probably the only crusty tablet owners we sell.
This is Bebo's adopted daughter - Bebo met Kira many years ago. Kira was just wandering around the city area of Chikakimu (sometimes known as Pureiworld) when she met Bebo™. The parents weren't found anywhere, so Bebo™ pretty much took care of her. The parents eventually found Kira™ and let Bebo™ adopt her.
Birthday: 12/27/2014
Art and voice by C3S6.
This voicebank needs fixing. All she needs is a proper OTO and she'll be all set. Somewhat usable as-is.
What does Kira sound like?
Non-Blob Side Characters
There's quite a few.
Mia Kihei™, AKA LMI-08 (uses a flag)
Mia Kihei™ is the wife of Pam™ and Marula™. She has a similar voice to Pam™. Use g-10 (on OpenUtau: -10 in the Gender box in the Expressions section) with the Pam™ voicebank.
Birthday: 9/22/2007
Tessera, AKA LMI-10 (uses a flag)
Tessera is the same make and model as Makku Kihei - before they became an LMI, she lived in a kid's room during her non-LMI years. They have those small shiny stickers (like these) all over their bezel.
Her voice is very breathy and Pam-like. To get her voice: use Komppi™ (LMI-01) with g-20 (in OpenUtau, set the gender in Expressions to -20).
Birthday: 3/12/2007
Kaleido™, AKA LMI-00/15 (uses a flag)
This LMI was originally a computer to test the LMOS prototype builds on, and has almost similar qualities to LMI-01. His ID number changed when he was heavily modified with a different computer inside him several years later, but for the most part, he usually uses the original ID number.
To get his voice: use the Pam™ voicebank with the gender set to 15. (g+15 in regular UTAU.)
Birthday: 5/12/2005
