چکیده
Figure 2: The EpR model Gain excitation resonance Amp freq freq vocal tract resonances Amp excitation curve residual envelope Abstract: This paper is a review of the work contained in the insides of a sample-based virtual singing synthesizer. Starting with a narrative of the evolution of the techniques involved in it, the paper focuses mainly on the description of its current components and processes and its most relevant features: from the singer databases creation to the final synthesis concatenation step.

Improvements 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...
متن کاملImplementations of synthesis models for speech and singing
The current implementations of the synthesis models for speech and singing are described. An improved model for speech is presented and compared to the model currently in use. A new singing synthesis model has recently been implemcn~ed in a signal-processing board. The differences between these models are pointed out. Test results from comparative measurements on synthetic speech synthesis arc ...
متن کاملSinging Voice Synthesis Combining Excitation plus Resonance and Sinusoidal plus Residual Models
This paper presents an approach to the modeling of the singing voice with a particular emphasis on the naturalness of the resulting synthetic voice. The underlying analysis/synthesis technique is based on the Spectral Modeling Synthesis (SMS) and a newly developed Excitation plus Resonance (EpR) model. With this approach a complete singing voice synthesizer is developed that generates a vocal m...
متن کاملSample-based singing voice synthesizer by spectral concatenation
The singing synthesis system we present generates a performance of an artificial singer out of the musical score and the phonetic transcription of a song using a frame-based frequency domain technique. This performance mimics the real singing of a singer that has been previously recorded, analyzed and stored in a database. To synthesize such performance the systems concatenates a set of element...
