History Trivia / UTAU

* AscendedFanon: Kasane Teto, the programs most famous Utauloid, would eventually become a proper "Vocaloid" in her own right, with voice banks for her being created for the Synthesizer V AI program.

* {{Abandonware}}: While it can still be downloaded from the official website, it could potentially be heading this way soon. The program hasn't gotten a proper update since 2013 and [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-basic-6/visual-basic-6-support-policy while Microsoft has claimed they are striving for full compatibility for all [=VB6=] applications like UTAU under supported Windows installations up to Windows 11]], it's unclear if they will continue to do so in the future since the IDE support has already ended in 2008. It doesn't help much that the developer, Ameya, rarely updates his social media, with there often being years in-between updates. However, there's been some projects attempting to remake the program and replace it when things go haywire and modernize the UTAU experience with quality of life improvements.
Some noteworthy projects are:
