【📢】 VTube Studio 1.35.0 is now released!! This update adds a fully dynamic, reactive sound effect system!! 🔊🎶🥁 🧵👇

It also comes with three new sound-enabled Live2D-Items made by @littlemewn ✨ They turned out super cute so please try them out! 💖🎵

📝About the sound effect system: You can set up sound effects and trigger them manually using hotkeys or have them fire automatically based on your model movement (Live2D parameter values). There's a ton of trigger options and customization: volume and pitch control based on parameter movement speed, echo/reverb, playback chance and cooldowns, anti-repeat randomization, spatial audio with stereo panning based on model/item position, and much more. Sound effects are extremely important for immersion in video games, so why shouldn't VTubers have them as well? Fair warning though, proper sound design is hard and setting up dynamic sound triggers for items/models can be a lot of work if you want them to sound good. But if done right, it can be absolutely worth it!! So please give it a try!! 💖 I want to see what everyone comes up with using this, so please @ me if you make something cool!! ✨ For more info:

📝 One more note about sending sound to OBS: VTube Studio can use VBAN to send sound output directly to OBS without playing it back or needing a virtual audio cable. It's extremely easy to use and very convenient. All you need is the OBS VBAN plugin (it's basically like Spout2 but for audio) 🎵 For more info:

WAIT THATS SO HYPE

Cool

It dynamically reacts to the change in distance?!

So many great updates!! I see Mikan in this as well omg my friend is famous!!!

Auto pan and distance? Now that really makes it dynamic!

wait this completely upgrades vtubing

Dear @VTubeStudio and @DenchiSoft, as a developer I'm begging 🙏 for some insight/regarding the following struggle I'm having with VTS 😭 Context: I have a fully functional Piano playing Vtuber model with 36 hotkeys mapped to each piano key press. I wrote something (janky) in Python that reads in the .vtube json dictionary and changes all 36 hotkeys triggers according to what I need... But after the latest patches, the hotkey changes don't stick like they used to ;-; This program was functional before the end of March updates 😭 I've read through your git/dev docs regarding the vtube json file to see if there was something protecting the files, but I didn't see anything (PLEASE tell me if I missed something. Reading hard.) How I typically run VTS: - Via a batch script that opens up VTS using the -nosteam flag Things I've tried so far: - Initially I thought it was Steam's cloud backups (despite running it with -nosteam flag) reverting my changes, so I shut off Steam's Cloud Backups - I invoke the python file using elevated Powershell - I do see that the .vtube json file is modified, but when i reload the model it reverts to what it was prior - I have tried having the model loaded > run python hotkey modification > 2x reload model > and SOMETIMES this works but not always and I can't pinpoint what allows it to succeed sometimes. - But more successfully i unload the model > run the hotkey modification > then reload the model back in and the hotkeys are all set. Is there a more graceful way to do this so that I don't have to keep loading and unloading my model mid stream when I need to make a lot of changes to my piano hotkeys? Any insights are deeply appreciated 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

VTS will always overwrite external .vtube.json file changes when a model is unloaded, since it re-saves the file to store metadata such as the model position. Modifying the file while VTS uses the model is always going to have unexpected results. VTS only actually reads that file once when loading the model. So the only way to reliably modify the model file would be to unload the model, then make the changes and then load it again. That could easily be done via the VTS API though, so that's probably the way to go. If you need help with that, please make a thread in the VTS Discord and @ me there (denchi)

@DenchiSoft Ahhh... So what i was doing was indeed too janky got it LOL i was hoping to just have something I could dev super fast to get this going but thanks for the info! I'll comb through again and read the API docs and make something~

THE KEYS CAN BE JINGLED

@MOONBTCH HELL YEAH

I've wanted this for so long!! Let's goooo!!

OH MY GOD

this update is SO COOL!!!!!!!! i can't wait to see what awesome stuff this community is gonna get up to =3=

Super cute! 🔔🎀

would you guys consider implementing a way to double pin an item ? for example, pinning the controller to both sides of an arm instead of one so it sticks better

So… anyone else open it immediately equip the cup and the keyring and just absolutely vibrate to make noise

Insanely huge. Can’t wait to try it out.

This is crazy !! Industry changing stuff

i love vtubestudio.

yayyy finally :3 this is amazing news, i hoped for this

@HoshigamiTwins WHAAAAAT?!?!?! 🤯❤️

@rubrta Omg

I'm not wanting to sound rude here but is it possible to have some male hands with some of these assets? I only ask cause I have a male model and would love to use these features

@MikanTheMink Mikan spotted !!!

Thank you for this awesome update!!! 🩷✨ *jingle jingle*

I can finally have my bonks and animation and triggers all in one place ;_; yaaay!! And now sound

i literally dreamed of this 🥹

OH GOD ANOTHER BANGER UPDATE IM SO GOING TO COOK WITH THIS ONE
