This article is about the VOCALOID4 software known as a voicebank. If you are looking for the VOCALOID character then click here.
History[]
When VOCALOID4 was released, Yukari was assigned an update. Chihiro Ishiguro, who was part of the team behind Yukari, was involved with the project due to her experience in voice acting to produce two new voicebanks for the character. The team wanted to develop Yukari in both VOCALOID and VOICEROID before they started on any new vocal.[1]
Silhouettes for Yuzuki Yukari, along with the other VOCALOIDs by AH-Software, were revealed on a poster on November 6, 2014, however, it was unconfirmed what they were for at the time.[2] On November 20, it was revealed in the livestream for VOCALOID4 that they all would be receiving VOCALOID4 voicebanks with the exception of Tohoku Zunko.
Yukari was specifically announced to be receiving an "Onn" voicebank as well as her original voicebank.[3] This new voicebank was intended to sound calmer than her original, similar to the "Whisper" and "Soft" voicebanks produced by other companies.
On December 20, via a livestream, it was announced that Yukari would receive three V4 voicebanks: her "Onn" (穏) voicebank, a powerful "Lin" (凛) voicebank, and a natural "Jun" (純) voicebank that was intended to be similar to her original V3.[4][5] It was also revealed that Yukari's voicebanks could be purchased together in one package or separately.[6]
On January 28, 2015, a press release revealed the prices for the download and physical versions of her individual voicebanks, her complete package, and her starter pack. It was also mentioned that people who have purchased her VOCALOID3 version, or registered as one of AHS's users, would receive a discount on her VOCALOID4 update. She was released on March 18.[7][8]
On March 3, AH-Software and DTM magazine hosted a livestream showcasing all of Yukari's voicebanks individually as well as cross synthesis and growl capabilities.
On March 11, Yukari V4's trial was made available, which included all three of her voicebanks.[9]

The 3 vocals can be bought either as a complete package, or separately. In December 2016, a "exVOICE" (extra sound material) was released. The bonus samples are sold separate to the main Vocaloid packages across 3 volumes or as a complete package and together contain a total of 1,284 samples between them.[10] In addition, in 2017, her Voiceroid software was updated to Voiceroid2.[11] A version of this package was originally planned for the Unity with VOCALOID software, however it is presumed cancelled.[12] | |

| Cross-Synthesis as noted: | |
|
"Jun" is either the main starting point of the XSY pathing or the mid-range vocal between "Onn" and "Lin". Either going from or via "Jun" will result in a softer, smoother transisition then going straight from "Onn" to "Lin" or vice versa. The Path via XSY to control expression are;
Otherwise, "Jun"s main role in XSY is to be a soft expressive vocal for "Lin", but one that is more subtler then "Onn", and to add a more subtler firmness to "Onn" then the extreme nature of the "Lin" vocal would. | |

Onn (Whisper) is a soft, whispery toned voicebank. It acts as a supporting vocal to the main "JUN" vocal. It works best for jazz, ballads and other calm genres. It is a result of applied voice acting techniques and was recorded from an entirely new set of recordings. [1] | |

| Cross-Synthesis as noted: | |
|
"Onn"'s main role in XSY is to add expression to either "Jun" or "Lin". Unlike some other "Soft" or "whisper" voices, it is not so much about focusing on the lower ranges as it is for giving expression. It is the most expressive of the 3 voicebanks in XSY for that reason. | |

| Optimum | |
| Optimum Range: G2 ~ A4 Optimum Tempo: 80 ~ 200 BPM Total Tempo (min-max): 120 BPM No. of Keys: W ~ 16, B ~ 11, Total ~ 27 | |
| Package details as noted: | |
|
Lin (Power) is a vocal with a stronger and solid tone. It acts as a supporting vocal to the main "JUN" vocal. It is best suited for heavier genres such as techno and rock. It is a result of applied voice acting techniques and was recorded from an entirely new set of recordings. [1] | |
| Vocal traits as noted: | |
| |
| Software issues as noted: | |
|
"Lin"'s main role in XSY is to add dramatic emphysasis and power to either "Jun" or "Lin". Unlike the other 3 vocals, "Lin" has a reputation for being an extremity; it has has a much more noticable impact on "Jun" or "Onn" then those voicebanks have on each other.
