چکیده
The song submitted here to the “Synthesis of Singing Challenge” is synthesized by the latest version of the singing synthesizer “Vocaloid”, which is commercially available now. In this paper, we would like to present the overview of Vocaloid, its product lineups, description of each component, and the synthesis technique used in Vocaloid.

Unisong: A Choir Singing Synthesizer
Computer generated singing choir synthesis can be achieved by two means: clone transformation of a single voice or concatenation of real choir recording snippets. As of today, the synthesis quality for these two methods lack of naturalness and intelligibility respectively. Unisong is a new concatenation based choir singing synthesizer able to generate a high quality synthetic performance out of...
متن کاملImprovements to a Sample-Concatenation Based Singing Voice Synthesizer
This paper describes recent improvements to our singing voice synthesizer based on concatenation and transformation of audio samples using spectral models. Improvements include firstly robust automation of previous singer database creation process, a lengthy and tedious task which involved recording scripts generation, studio sessions, audio editing, spectral analysis, and phonetic based segmen...
متن کاملApplying voice conversion to concatenative singing-voice synthesis
This work address the application of Voice Conversion to singing-voice. The GMM-based approach was applied to VOCALOID, a concatenative singing synthesizer, to perform singer timbre conversion. The conversion framework was applied to full-quality singing databases, achieving a satisfactory conversion effect on the synthesized utterances. We report in this paper the results of our experimentatio...
متن کاملTransferring Vocal Expression of F0 Contour Using Singing Voice Synthesizer
A system for transferring vocal expressions separately from singing voices with accompaniment to singing voice synthesizers is described. The expressions appear as fluctuations in the fundamental frequency contour of the singing voice, such as vibrato, glissando, and kobushi. The fundamental frequency contour of the singing voice is estimated using the subharmonic summation in a limited frequen...
