Toward the Perfect Audio Morph? Singing Voice Synthesis and Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews the popular methods and models used for the synthesis of the singing voice, discussing strengths and weaknesses of each technique. Then a brief review is given of research on cross-modal visual/auditory perception of the human voice. The paper concludes with comments related to the singing synthesis systems discussed, addressing multi-modal perception, audio morphing, and the categorical perception of sound.

Voice-controlled plucked bass guitar through two synthesis techniques
In this paper we present an example of the use of the singing voice as a controller for digital music synthesis. The analysis of the voice with spectral processing techniques, derived from the Short-Time Fourier Transform, provides ways of determining a performer’s vocal intentions. We demonstrate a prototype, in which the extracted vocal features drive the synthesis of a plucked bass guitar. T...
متن کاملOutlines of Burcas - A simple concatenation-based MIDI-to-singing voice synthesis system
The present paper outlines a simple system (yet to be completed) for concatenation-based singing synthesis in Swedish. The system, called Burcas, takes as input a MIDI file (possibly holding multiple parts) for melody and a text file for lyrics, and it produces standard audio files as output. For the digital signal processing, the MBROLA speech generator is employed. Burcas consists of an input...
متن کاملSinging Voice Synthesis: Singer-Dependent Vibrato Modeling and Coherent Processing of Spectral Envelope
Pleasant singing voice is often ornamented by vibrato. This pitch fluctuation acts as a distinctive feature for singing and promotes voice quality. Nevertheless, independent pitch processing in singing voice synthesis does not guarantee the output quality. The spectral envelope actually varies with pitch during human voice production. This paper proposes a modeling technique for singers’ vibrat...
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 کاملCantor Digitalis: chironomic parametric synthesis of singing
Cantor Digitalis is a performative singing synthesizer that is composed of two main parts: a chironomic control interface and a parametric voice synthesizer. The control interface is based on a pen/touch graphic tablet equipped with a template representing vocalic and melodic spaces. Hand and pen positions, pen pressure, and a graphical user interface are assigned to specific vocal controls. Th...
