Morphing Techniques for Enhanced Scat Singing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In jazz, scat singing is a phonetic improvisation that imitates instrumental sounds. In this paper, we propose a system that aims to transform singing voice into real instrument sounds, extending the possibilities for scat singers. Analysis algorithms in the spectral domain extract voice parameters, which drive the resulting instrument sound. A small database contains real instrument samples that have been spectrally analyzed offline. Two different prototypes are introduced, reproducing a trumpet and a bass guitar respectively.

v.morish'09: A Morphing-Based Singing Design Interface for Vocal Melodies
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 functi...
متن کاملHandySinger: Expressive Singing Voice Morphing using Personified Hand-puppet Interface
The HandySinger system is a personified tool developed to naturally express a singing voice controlled by the gestures of a hand puppet. Assuming that a singing voice is a kind of musical expression, natural expressions of the singing voice are important for personification. We adopt a singing voice morphing algorithm that effectively smoothes out the strength of expressions delivered with a si...
متن کاملProcedure "senza vibrato": a key component for morphing singing
A procedure to remove vibrato from singing voice was proposed to enable auditory morphing between musical performances played under different conditions. Analyses of singing samples in the RWC music database using a speech analysis, modification and synthesis system STRAIGHT provided necessary information to implement “senza vibrato,” the procedure that removes vibrato. A preliminary subjective...
متن کاملGradually changing expression of singing voice based on morphing
We have developed a method for synthesizing a singing voice by gradually changing the musical expression based on speech morphing. This paper shows the advantages of this method in comparison with the approach of binary discrete transformation between two expressions, confirmed by statistical analyses of perception tests. In order to synthesize different expressional strengths of a singing voic...

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...
