Extraction of F0 Dynamic Characteristics and Development of F0 Control Model in Singing Voice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fundamental frequency (F0) control models, which can cope with F0 dynamic characteristics related to singing-voice perception, are required to construct natural singing-voice synthesis systems. This paper discusses the importance of F0 dynamic characteristics in singing voices and demonstrates how much it influence on singing voice perception through psychoacoustic experiments. This paper, then, proposes an F0 control model that can generate F0 fluctuations in singing voices, and a singing-voice synthesis method. The results show that F0 contour including fluctuations: Overshoot, Vibrato, Preparation, and Fine-fluctuation, affects singing voice perception, and the proposed synthesis method can generate natural singing voices by controlling these F0 fluctuations.

Development of the F0 Control Model for Singing-Voices Synthesis
Fundamental frequency (F0) control models for singing voices are required to construct singing-voice synthesis systems that can generate natural singing-voices. This paper describes the development of an F0 control model for singing-voices synthesis. F0 fluctuations are revealed as characteristics that need to control the F0 contour of singing-voices by investigating how much they influence sin...
متن کاملA 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 کاملA Stochastic Model of Singing Voice F0 Contours for Characterizing Expressive Dynamic Components
We present a novel stochastic model of singing voice fundamental frequency (F0) contours for characterizing expressive dynamic components, such as vibrato and portamento. Although dynamic components can be important features for any singing voice applications, modeling and extracting these components from a raw F0 contour have yet to be accomplished. Therefore, we describe a process for generat...
متن کاملAnalysis of acoustic features affecting "singing-ness" and its application to singing-voice synthesis from speaking-voice
To construct a natural singing-voice synthesis system, it is important to adequately control acoustic features such as fundamental frequency (F0), spectrum shapes, and phoneme duration in the synthesis method. This paper reveals acoustic features affecting singing-voice perception by comparative analyzing singingand speaking-voices, and then proposes a transforming method from speaking-voice in...
متن کاملSpeech-to-Singing Synthesis System: Vocal Conversion from Speaking Voices to Singing Voices by Controlling Acoustic Features Unique to Singing Voices
Introduction: This paper introduces a speech-to-singing synthesis system, called SingBySpeaking, which can synthesize a singing voice, given a speaking voice reading the lyrics of a song and its musical score. The system is based on the speech manipulation system STRAIGHT and is comprised of four models controlling three acoustic parameters: the fundamental frequency (F0), phoneme duration, and...
