HMM-Based Voice Separation of MIDI Performance

HMM-Based Voice Separation of MIDI Performance

Voice separation is an important component of Music Information Retrieval (MIR). In this paper, we present an HMM which can be used to separate music performance data in the form of MIDI into monophonic voices. It works on two basic principles: that consecutive notes within a single voice will tend to occur on similar pitches, and that there are short (if any) temporal gaps between them. We als...

Concatenation-based Midi-to-singing Voice Synthesis

In this paper, we propose a system for synthesizing the human singing voice and the musical subtleties that accompany it. The system, Lyricos, employs a concatenation-based text-to-speech method to synthesize arbitrary lyrics in a given language. Using information contained in a regular MIDI le, the system chooses units, represented as sinusoidal wave-form model parameters, from an inventory of...

HMM-based synthesis of creaky voice

Creaky voice, also referred to as vocal fry, is a voice quality frequently produced in many languages, in both read and conversational speech. To enhance the naturalness of speech synthesis, these latter should be able to generate speech in all its expressive diversity, including creaky voice. The present study looks to exploit our recent developments, including creaky voice detection, predicti...
