However, other formats based on X-SAMPA are also used, such as Cz Phonemes (or C-ZAMPA) for some English VCCV voicebanks. Often, X-SAMPA format is used for English voicebanks. While there are a high number of bilingual UTAU, there are also multilingual UTAU that can sing in three or more languages. English is a common language for UTAU to sing in. However, the number of available languages has been expanded by the users. UTAU is mostly a Japanese program and thus many of its voices are created specifically for the Japanese language. These voicebanks are normally distributed directly from their creators via internet download, but some are sold as part of commercial projects. A myriad number of voicebanks have been developed by independent users. They are also called 'voicebanks' (more common in English-speaking areas) and '(voice) libraries' in Japan. Voices made for the UTAU program are officially called 'UTAU' as well, though they are colloquially known as 'UTAUloids', a reference to VOCALOID.

UTAU was originally created to assist this process using concatenative synthesis. UTAU ( жЊгЃ†), meaning 'to sing' in Japanese, has its origin in the activity of 'Jinriki BЕЌkaroido' ( дєєеЉ›гѓњгѓјг‚«гѓг‚¤гѓ‰, Manual Vocaloid), where people edit an existing vocal track, extract phonemes, adjust pitch, and reassemble them to create a Vocaloid-esque singing voice. In March 2008, Ameya/Ayame released UTAU, a free, advanced support tool shareware software that was free-to-download from its main website.
