Settings 

Offset with volume: 

Specify the number of frames for the amount of offset (the amount of time lag) to delay or advance the timing of the Live2D character’s “Mouth open/close motion” that should be synchronized with “Voice.” 

The default value is 4 (frames). Adjust the timing of the mouth open/close motion when it is not synchronized with the voice. 

When a positive value is set, the mouth open/close motion starts first, followed by the voice. When a negative value is set, the voice starts first, followed by the mouth open/close motion. 

Lip-sync Interval: 

Specify the number of frames for the interval of the lip-sync key setting. The smaller the value, the finer the mouth motion. 

Adjustment Parameters

Volume application rate: The higher the application rate, the wider the mouth open/close motion in response to volume. 

Default mouth shape: This is the standard shape for setting lip-sync. 

Motion compatibility: The higher the compatibility, the greater the motion. 

Automated Motion

Random motion can be automatically generated on the model set in the Live2D layer according to the audio layer.
