About UST files

.ust files are UTAU Sequence Text files utilized by the UTAU singing synthesizer. They function as a musical score, storing data such as notes, lyrics, phonemes, tempo, and precise pitch-bend parameters.

The primary disadvantage of the .ust format is its strict proprietary nature. It is not an audio file; you cannot play it in VLC media player or Windows Media Player. It only contains text-based instructions for the synthesizer. To hear the song, you must have the exact voicebank installed, otherwise the file will produce absolute silence. Furthermore, the internal phonetic mapping is highly specific, often requiring manual conversion between Hiragana and Romaji aliases if you change voicebanks.

To use the melody in a standard Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like FL Studio, you must convert it to a Standard MIDI file (MID). Note that MIDI conversion will strip out all lyrics and UTAU-specific vocal expressions. If you are migrating the project to Yamaha Vocaloid, convert the file to VSQX to preserve the lyrics and basic note timing. Drop your file here to view, analyze, and convert it securely right in your browser - free, online, and without installing software.

Convert.Guru analyzes your UST file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted USTX, MP3, SVP, MID, VSQ, ZIP, WAV, VSQX, MIDI, MP4, RAR, 7Z and MPEG files.
