چکیده

In this paper we present a systematic approach to applying expressive performance models to non-expressive score transcriptions and synthesizing the results by means of concatenative synthesis. Expressive performance models are built from score transcriptions and recorded performances by means of decision tree rule induction, and those models are used both to transform inexpressive input scores and to guide the concatenative synthesizer unit selection.

Using Concatenative Synthesis for Expressive Performance in Jazz Saxophone

We present here a concatenative sample-based saxophone synthesizer using an induced performance model intended for expressive synthesis. The system consists on three main parts. The first part provides the analysis of saxophone expressive performance recordings and the extraction of descriptors related to different temporal levels. With the obtained descriptors and the analyzed samples, we cons...

Expressive Concatenative Synthesis by Reusing Samples from Real Performance Recordings

The manipulation of sound properties such as timing, amplitude, timbre, and pitch by different performers and styles is an important fact not to be missed when approaching instrumental sound synthesis. Expressive music performance studies the manipulation of such sound properties in an attempt to understand expression, so that it can be applied to sound synthesis for obtaining expressive instru...

Intra-note Features Prediction Model for Jazz Saxophone Performance

Expressive performance is an important issue in music which has been studied from different perspectives. In this paper we describe an approach to investigate musical expressive performance based on inductive machine learning. In particular, we focus on the study of variations on intra-note features (e.g. attack) that a saxophone interpreter introduces in order to expressively perform a Jazz st...

Expressive Speech Recognition and Synthesis as Enabling Technologies for Affective Robot-Child Communication

This paper presents our recent and current work on expressive speech synthesis and recognition as enabling technologies for affective robot-child interaction. We show that current expression recognition systems could be used to discriminate between several archetypical emotions, but also that the old adage ”there’s no data like more data” is more than ever valid in this field. A new speech synt...

Applications of computer generated expressive speech for communication disorders

This paper focuses on generation of expressive speech, specifically speech displaying vocal affect. Generating speech with vocal affect is important for diagnosis, research, and remediation for children with autism and developmental language disorders. However, because vocal affect involves many acoustic factors working together in complex ways, it is unlikely that we will be able to generate c...
