A Singing Voice Database in Basque for Statistical Singing Synthesis of Bertsolaritza
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the characteristics and structure of a Basque singing voice database of bertsolaritza. Bertsolaritza is a popular singing style from Basque Country sung exclusively in Basque that is improvised and a capella. The database is designed to be used in statistical singing voice synthesis for bertsolaritza style. Starting from the recordings and transcriptions of numerous singers, diarization and phoneme alignment experiments have been made to extract the singing voice from the recordings and create phoneme alignments. This labelling processes have been performed applying standard speech processing techniques and the results prove that these techniques can be used in this specific singing style.

Vocalistener: 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 کاملHMM-based Mandarin Singing Voice Synthesis Using Tailored Synthesis Units and Question Sets
Fluency and continuity properties are essential in synthesizing a high quality singing voice. In order to synthesize a smooth and continuous singing voice, the Hidden Markov Model-based synthesis approach is employed in this study to construct a Mandarin singing voice synthesis system. The system is designed to generate Mandarin songs with arbitrary lyrics and melody in a certain pitch range. I...
متن کاملApplying voice conversion to concatenative singing-voice synthesis
This work address the application of Voice Conversion to singing-voice. The GMM-based approach was applied to VOCALOID, a concatenative singing synthesizer, to perform singer timbre conversion. The conversion framework was applied to full-quality singing databases, achieving a satisfactory conversion effect on the synthesized utterances. We report in this paper the results of our experimentatio...

This paper describes the implementation of the Aholab entry for the Singing Synthesis Challenge: Fill-in the Gap. Our approach in this work makes use of an HTS based Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesizer for Basque to generate the singing voice. The prosody related parameters provided by the TTS system for a spoken version of the score are modified to adapt them to the requirements of the music scor...
متن کاملRecent development of the HMM-based singing voice synthesis system - Sinsy
A statistical parametric approach to singing voice synthesis based on hidden Markov Models (HMMs) has been grown over the last few years. The spectrum, excitation, and duration of singing voices in this approach are simultaneously modeled with context-dependent HMMs and waveforms are generated from the HMMs themselves. In December 2009, we started a free on-line singing voice synthesis service ...
