The evolution of sound technology driven by the open source community
OpenUtau's modular architecture is designed with a complete plug-in development interface (API), which contains three major categories of SDKs: phoneme processing, rendering pipeline, and UI extension. 27 functional plug-ins have been included in the official repository at the moment, such as FreqTracer pitch correction tool and Vogen Chinese optimization plug-in, etc. Developers can use the .NET Core framework for secondary development. Developers can carry out secondary development based on the .NET Core framework. Typical examples include: the AI voice fusion plug-in realized by a research team, which can mix the characteristics of multiple sound sources; and the music theory analysis plug-in developed by a music education institution, which can automatically detect the rules of harmony. This open model not only accelerates technological innovation, but also forms an ecological advantage that is difficult to replicate in commercial software. Statistics show that the plug-ins submitted by the community in 2023 increased the software functionality by 300%, and three of the projects have been incorporated into the official core functions.
