RAMCESS/handsketch: a multi-representation framework for realtime and expressive singing synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the different investigations that are part of the development of a new singing digital musical instrument, adapted to real-time performance. It concerns improvement of low-level synthesis modules, mapping strategies underlying the development of a coherent and expressive control space, and the building of a concrete bi-manual controller.

A multi-layer F0 model for singing voice synthesis using a b-spline representation with intuitive controls
In singing voice, the fundamental frequency (F0) carries not only melody, but also music style, personal expressivity and other characteristics specific to voice production mechanism. The F0 modeling is therefore critical for a natural-sounding and expressive synthesis. In addition, for artistic purposes, composers also need to have control over expressive parameters of the F0 curve, which is m...
متن کاملExpressive Singing Synthesis Based on Unit Selection for the Singing Synthesis Challenge 2016
Sample and statistically based singing synthesizers typically require a large amount of data for automatically generating expressive synthetic performances. In this paper we present a singing synthesizer that using two rather small databases is able to generate expressive synthesis from an input consisting of notes and lyrics. The system is based on unit selection and uses the Wide-Band Harmoni...
متن کاملExpressive text-to-speech approaches
The core concern of this paper is the modelling and the tractability of expressiveness in natural voice synthesis. In the first part we quickly discuss the imponderable gap between natural and singing voice synthesis approaches. In the second part we outline a four level model and a corpus-based methodology in modelling expressive forms—an essential step towards expressive voice synthesis. We t...
متن کاملSinging Voice Analysis/Synthesis
The singing voice is the oldest and most variable of musical instruments. By combining music, lyrics, and expression, the voice is able to affect us in ways that no other instrument can. As listeners, we are innately drawn to the sound of the human voice, and when present it is almost always the focal point of a musical piece. But the acoustic flexibility of the voice in intimating words, shapi...
متن کاملA Framework for Parametric Singing Voice Analysis/synthesis
The singing voice is the most variable and flexible of musical instruments. All voices are capable of producing the common phonemes necessary for language understanding and communication, yet each voice possesses distinctive qualities that are seemingly independent of phonemes and words. The unique acoustic qualities of an individual singer’s voice arise from a combination of innate physical fa...
