Systems and methods for recording and synthesizing sound in a resolution-independent manner and infrastructures for distributing resolution-independent recordings for remote playback. In one embodiment, one system includes: a frame generator (130) that extracts fundamental frequencies and spectral envelopes from the sound and creates frames therefrom and a frame analyzer (140) that identifies a selected one of common spectra structures and common formant structures in the frames and creates a record containing the fundamental frequencies and the selected one. One infrastructure includes: a radio station having a recording database associated therewith, a plurality of recordings contained within the recording database, each of the plurality of recordings including the selected one, a request receiver, coupled to the recording database, that receives remote requests for ones of the plurality of recordings and a transmitter, coupled to the recording database, that transmits the ones of the plurality of recordings in response to the requests.
摘要:
Variation over time in fundamental frequency in singing voices is separated into a melody-dependent component and a phoneme-dependent component, modeled for each of the components and stored into a singing synthesizing database. In execution of singing synthesis, a pitch curve indicative of variation over time in fundamental frequency of the melody is synthesized in accordance with an arrangement of notes represented by a singing synthesizing score and the melody-dependent component, and the pitch curve is corrected, for each of pitch curve sections corresponding to phonemes constituting lyrics, using a phoneme-dependent component model corresponding to the phoneme. Such arrangements can accurately model a singing expression, unique to a singing person and appearing in a melody singing style of the person, while taking into account phoneme-dependent pitch variation, and thereby permits synthesis of singing voices that sound more natural.

An electronic musical instrument provides a musical tone signal forming apparatus in order to sound a desirable musical tone. This apparatus includes a closed-loop (21) wherein a signal is repeatedly circulating while being delayed by a delay circuit (22, 23). In addition, the signal circulating the closed-loop is subject to the non-linear conversion. Thus, the signal picked up from the closed-loop can be controlled in response to the desirable non-linear characteristic. Preferably, the signal circulating the closed-loop is a musical tone waveform signal. For example, the musical tone waveform signal is varied in response to the feature of string, string bowing pressure and the like. Further, hysteresis characteristic simulating the statical and dynamic frictions to be occurred between the string and bow of the string bowing instrument can be imparted to the non-linear characteristic.

摘要:
Waveform data representative of singing voices of a singing music piece are analyzed to generate melody component data representative of variation over time in fundamental frequency component presumed to represent a melody in the singing voices. Then, through machine learning that uses score data representative of a musical score of the singing music piece and the melody component data, a melody component model, representative of a variation component presumed to represent the melody among the variation over time in fundamental frequency component, is generated for each combination of notes. Parameters defining the melody component models and note identifiers indicative of the combinations of notes whose variation over time in fundamental frequency component are represented by the melody component models are stored into a pitch curve generating database in association with each other. Thus, it is possible to accurately model a singing expression unique to a singing person and appearing in a melody singing style of the person.
摘要:
A sound source apparatus (1) has a plurality of tone forming parts (10a-10i) for outputting either of desired tones or formants according to designation of a wave table sound source mode or a voice synthesizing mode, such that the tone forming parts generate the tones in the wave table sound source mode, and generate the formants for synthesis of a voice in the voice synthesizing mode. Each tone forming part has an envelope application section that operates in the wave table sound source mode for generating an envelope signal which rises in synchronization with an instruction to start the generating of the tone and decays in synchronization with another instruction to stop the generating of the tone, and applying the generated envelope signal to waveform data read from a wave table. The envelope application section operates in the voice synthesizing mode for generating an envelope signal which rapidly decays every timing corresponding to a pitch period of the voice to be synthesized and rapidly rises after the decay, and applying the generated envelope signal to the waveform data read from a wave table.
摘要:
A plurality of digital signal processors (DSP1-DSP4) are provided in parallel relation to each other, and a series of operations for desired sound signal synthesis or processing is divided into a plurality of operation groups to be allocated to the signal processors. First and second buses (PBUS, DBUS) are connected to each of the signal processors so that parameters necessary for the operations are distributively supplied to the signal processors via the first bus (PBUS) and the operation result of each of the signal processors is transferred to another digital signal processor or an output port via the second bus (DBUS). One digital signal processor receives the output data from another digital signal processor via the second bus so as to perform a predetermined operation using the received data. The desired sound signal processing is thus executed by combinations of the operations performed by such signal processors. Where sound signal processing is executed in a plurality of channels on a time-divisional basis, the time-divisional channel timing of each digital signal processor is set independently of that of other digital signal processors. By setting synchronized tone generation designating data for each channel, synchronized tone generation is controllably performed in selected channels.
