Non-modal voice synthesis by low-dimensional physical models
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of different voice qualities by means of a low-dimensional glottal model is discussed. The glottal model is based on a one-mass model provided with a number of enhancements that make it suitable to the aim of the study. The simulation of modal and non-modal phonatory regimes is discussed. Both symmetric and nonsymmetric configurations are explored. The class of models under consideration is shown to be able to reproduce a broad range of phonation styles and to provide interesting control properties.

Latent force models for sound: Learning modal synthesis parameters and excitation functions from audio recordings
Latent force models are a Bayesian learning technique that combine physical knowledge with dimensionality reduction — sets of coupled differential equations are modelled via shared dependence on a low-dimensional latent space. Analogously, modal sound synthesis is a technique that links physical knowledge about the vibration of objects to acoustic phenomena that can be observed in data. We appl...
متن کاملDigital Modeling of Bridge Driving-point Admittances from Measurements on Violin-family Instruments
We present a methodology for digital modeling ofD-dimensional driving-point bridge admittances from vibration measurements on instruments of the violin family. Our study, centered around the two-dimensional case for violin, viola, and cello, is based on using the modal framework to construct an admittance formulation providing physically meaningful and effective control over model parameters. I...

The paper concludes with comments related to the singing synthesis systems discussed, addressing multi-modal perception, audio morphing, and the...
متن کاملPerceived loudness and voice quality in affect cueing
The paper describes an auditory experiment aimed at testing whether the intrinsic loudness of a stimulus with a given voice quality influences the way in which it signals affect. Synthesised voice quality stimuli in which intrinsic loudness was systematically manipulated were presented to listeners to test the effect of this manipulation on the affective colouring of the stimuli. The results sh...
متن کاملArticulatory synthesis of words in six voice qualities using a modified two-mass model of the vocal folds
A modified two-mass model of the vocal folds is introduced and applied to the articulatory synthesis of words in six voice qualities. The modified two-mass model uses mass elements that are inclined, instead of parallel, with respect to the dorsoventral axis as a function of the degree of abduction. This allows to produce the continuum of voice qualities from pressed over modal to breathy voice...
