v.morish'09: A Morphing-Based Singing Design Interface for Vocal Melodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a singing design method based on morphing, the design and development of an intuitive interface to assist morphing-based singing design. The proposed interface has a function for real-time morphing, based on simple operation with a mouse, and an editor to control the singing features in detail. The user is able to enhance singing voices efficiently by using these two functions. In this paper, we discuss the requirement for an interface to assist in morphingbased singing design, and develope an interface to fulfill the requirement.

Perceptual Continuity and Naturalness of Expressive Strength in Singing Voice based on Speech Morphing
This paper experimentally shows the importance of perceptual continuity of the expressive strength in vocal timbre for natural change in vocal expression. In order to synthesize various and continuous expressive strengths with vocal timbre, we investigated gradually changing expressions by applying the STRAIGHT speech-morphing algorithm to singing voices. Here, a singing voice without expressio...
متن کاملSimulated Formant Modeling of Accompanied Singing Signals for Vocal Melody Extraction
This paper deals with the task of extracting vocal melodies from accompanied singing recordings. The challenging aspect of this task consists in the tendency for instrumental sounds to interfere with the extraction of the desired vocal melodies, especially when the singing voice is not necessarily predominant among other sound sources. Existing methods in the literature are either rule-based or...
متن کاملA Method of Morphing Spectral Envelopes of the Singing Voice for Use with Backing Vocals
The voice morphing process presented in this paper is based on the observation that, in many styles of music, it is often desirable for a backing vocalist to blend his or her timbre with that of the lead vocalist when the two voices are singing the same phonetic material concurrently. This paper proposes a novel application of recent morphing research for use with a source backing vocal and a t...
متن کاملVocality-Sensitive Melody Extraction from Popular Songs
This paper presents a method for extracting vocal melodies from popular songs. Underlying the extraction procedure is a sinusoidal representation applied to the input song signal. The desired vocal melody is isolated by focusing on specific (amplitudeand frequency-modulated) sinusoids that are identified as vocal, with the identification based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimation of t...
متن کاملTranscription of vocal melodies using voice characteristics and algorithm fusion
This paper deals with the transcription of vocal melodies in music recordings. The proposed system relies on two distinct pitch estimators which exploit characteristics of the human singing voice. A Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is used to fuse the pitch estimates and make voicing decisions. The resulting performance is evaluated on the MIREX 2006 Audio Melody Extraction data.
