VCV-E, or VCV Extended, is a VCV multi language voice bank style. It is a VCV extension of the CV-C multi-language style. It uses principals from CVVC style banks (Like CV-C and VCCV) and VCV voice banks to make a large VCV bank that can sing multiple languages, including English. VCV-E is capable of singing faster songs while being less fragmented than CVVC style banks. VCV-E is easier to make usts for, and provides the natural note variation that CVVC style banks can't replicate .
While there have been a small handful of VCV banks that can do English it has been considered impossible for a long time because of it's size. VCV-E is large, but is much smaller than existing VCV English banks, while also being compatible with VCV Spanish, Japanese, Tagolog, and more. One pitch of VCV-C is 1700 recordings and -10,800- Oto lines.
VCV-E can be as flexible as it is while also being small thanks to a few quirks. It uses principals from CV-C to save space.

-VCV-E doesn't have VCV diphthong notes.
You can make diphthongs in 2 ways, by blending separate VCV vowels [- be][i bi], or by using CV-C diphthongs. [beI][eI b][be]

VCV-E has unique CC notes
VCV-E has the standard CCV and VCC notes one would expect in an english bank but it also contains special carried CC notes. They are blends between constants that can be carried and hard constants. [z t][t z][z z] This can help make blends that emphasize the pronunciation.

VCV-E is modular
VCV-E is broken into folders for ease of use. You can use the folders to supplement existing CV-C banks and record the way you like.
Thank you for looking into the VCV-E style. I hope you end up enjoying it. A lot of work went into this voicebank style.
