Singing Voice Synthesis Combining Excitation plus Resonance and Sinusoidal plus Residual Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 melody out of the score and the phonetic transcription of a song.

متن کاملA singing voice synthesis system based on sinusoidal modeling
Although sinusoidal models have been demonstrated to be capable of high-quality musical instrument synthesis [1], speech modi cation [2], and speech synthesis [3], little exploration of the application of these models to the synthesis of singing voice has been undertaken. In this paper, we propose a system framework similar to that employed in concatenation-based text-to-speech synthesizers, an...
متن کاملVibrato in Singing Voice: The Link between Source-Filter and Sinusoidal Models
The application of inverse filtering techniques for high-quality singing voice analysis/synthesis is discussed. In the context of source-filter models, inverse filtering provides a noninvasive method to extract the voice source, and thus to study voice quality. Although this approach is widely used in speech synthesis, this is not the case in singing voice. Several studies have proved that inve...
متن کاملSinging-voice Synthesis Using ANN Vibrato-parameter Models
Vibrato is an important factor that affects the naturalness level of a synthetic singing voice. Therefore, the analysis and modeling of vibrato parameters are studied in this paper. The vibrato parameters of those syllables segmented from recorded songs are analyzed by using short-time Fourier transform and the method of analytic signal. After the vibrato parameter values for all training sylla...
