Articulatory synthesis of singing
نویسنده
چکیده
A system for the synthesis of singing on the basis of an articulatory speech synthesizer is presented. To enable the synthesis of singing, the speech synthesizer was extended in many respects. Most importantly, a rule-based transformation of a musical score into a gestural score for articulatory gestures was developed. Furthermore, a pitch-dependent articulation of vowels was implemented. The results of these extensions are demonstrated by the synthesis of the canon “Dona nobis pacem”. The two voices in the canon were generated with the same underlying articulatory models and the same musical score, the only difference being that their pitches differ by one octave.

Articulatory Synthesis of Speech and Singing: State of the Art and Suggestions for Future Research
Articulatory synthesis of speech and singing aims for modeling the production process of speech and singing as human-like or natural as possible. The state of the art is described for all modules of articulatory synthesis systems, i.e. vocal tract models, acoustic models, glottis models, noise source models, and control models generating articulator movements and phonatory control information. ...
متن کاملAn Articulatory-Based Singing Voice Synthesis Using Tongue and Lips Imaging
Ultrasound imaging of the tongue and videos of lips movements can be used to investigate specific articulation in speech or singing voice. In this study, tongue and lips image sequences recorded during singing performance are used to predict vocal tract properties via Line Spectral Frequencies (LSF). We focused our work on traditional Corsican singing “Cantu in paghjella”. A multimodal Deep Aut...

This paper studies high registers of heavy metal singing based on the voice profile analysis scheme (VPAS) and acoustic correlates. The f0 range varied from 366 to 666 Hz. The application of VPAS for singing is unique in the phonetic literature. Two professional and two amateur singers sang Iron Maiden’s Aces High with instrumental playback through headphones. Two very high-register excerpts we...
متن کاملVocalistener: a Singing-to-singing Synthesis System Based on Iterative Parameter Estimation
This paper presents a singing synthesis system, VocaListener, that automatically estimates parameters for singing synthesis from a user’s singing voice with the help of song lyrics. Although there is a method to estimate singing synthesis parameters of pitch (F0) and dynamics (power) from a singing voice, it does not adapt to different singing synthesis conditions (e.g., different singing synth...
متن کاملAPEX - an articulatory model for speech and singing
The APEX articulatory synthesis model is being developed as a joint project at the Department of Speech, Music and Hearing at the Royal Institute of Technology and at the Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University. It is a direct development of an earlier vowel model [1], implemented as a computer program under Windows [2]. It calculates formants and produces sound according to articulat...
