摘要： An apparatus is constructed for converting an input voice signal into an output voice signal according to a target voice signal. In the apparatus, an input device provides the input voice signal composed of original sinusoidal components and original residual components other than the original sinusoidal components. An extracting device extracts original attribute data from at least the sinusoidal components of the input voice signal. The original attribute data is characteristic of the input voice signal. A synthesizing device synthesizes new attribute data based on both of the original attribute data derived from the input voice signal and target attribute data being characteristic of the target voice signal composed of target sinusoidal components and target residual components other than the sinusoidal components. The target attribute data is derived from at least the target sinusoidal components. An output device operates based on the new attribute data and either of the original residual component and the target residual component for producing the output voice signal.

摘要： A voice converting apparatus is constructed for converting an input voice into an output voice according to a target voice. In the apparatus, a storage section provisionally stores source data, which is associated to and extracted from the target voice. An analyzing section analyzes the input voice to extract therefrom a series of input data frames representing the input voice. A producing section produces a series of target data frames representing the target voice based on the source data, while aligning the target data frames with the input data frames to secure synchronization between the target data frames and the input data frames. A synthesizing section synthesizes the output voice according to the target data frames and the input data frames. In the recognizing feature analysis, a characteristic analyzer extracts from the input voice a characteristic vector. A memory memorizes target behavior data representing a behavior of the target voice. An alignment processor determines a temporal relation between the input data frames and the target data frames according to the characteristic vector and the target behavior data so as to output alignment data. A target decoder produces the target data frames according to the alignment data, the input data frames and the source data containing phoneme of the target voice.

摘要： A singing voice synthesizing apparatus is provided, which enables achievement of a natural sounding synthesized singing voice with a good level of comprehensibility. A phoneme database stores a plurality of voice fragment data formed of voice fragments each being a single phoneme or a phoneme chain of at least two concatenated phonemes, each of the plurality of voice fragment data comprising data of a deterministic component and data of a stochastic component. A readout device that reads out from the phoneme database the voice fragment data corresponding to inputted lyrics. A duration time adjusting device adjusts time duration of the read-out voice fragment data so as to match a desired tempo and manner of singing. An adjusting device adjusts the deterministic component and the stochastic component of the read-out voice fragment so as to match a desired pitch. A synthesizing device synthesizes a singing sound by sequentially concatenating the voice fragment data that have been adjusted by the duration time adjusting device and the adjusting device.

摘要： Spectrum envelope of an input sound is detected. In the meantime, a converting spectrum is acquired which is a frequency spectrum of a converting sound comprising a plurality of sounds, such as unison sounds. Output spectrum is generated by imparting the detected spectrum envelope of the input sound to the acquired converting spectrum. Sound signal is synthesized on the basis of the generated output spectrum. Further, a pitch of the input sound may be detected, and frequencies of peaks in the acquired converting spectrum may be varied in accordance with the detected pitch of the input sound. In this manner, the output spectrum can have the pitch and spectrum envelope of the input sound and spectrum frequency components of the converting sound comprising a plurality of sounds, and thus, unison sounds can be readily generated with simple arrangements.

摘要： A method for synthesizing a natural-sounding singing voice divides performance data into a transition part and a long sound part. The transition part is represented by articulation (phonemic chain) data that is read from an articulation template database and is outputted without modification. For the long sound part, a new characteristic parameter is generated by linearly interpolating characteristic parameters of the transition parts positioned before and after the long sound part and adding thereto a changing component of stationary data that is read from a constant part (stationary) template database. An associated apparatus for carrying out the singing voice synthesizing method includes a phoneme database for storing articulation data for the transition part and stationary data for the long sound part, a first device for outputting the articulation data, and a second device for outputting the newly-generated characteristic parameter of the long sound part.

摘要： For at least one music piece, a storage section stores tone data of each of a plurality of fragments segmented from the music piece and stores a first descriptor indicative of a musical character of each of the fragments in association with the fragment. Descriptor generation section receives input data based on operation by a user and generates a second descriptor, indicative of a musical character, on the basis of the received input data. Determination section determines similarity between the second descriptor and the first descriptor of each of the fragments. Selection section selects the tone data of at least one fragment on the basis of a result of the similarity determination by the determination section. On the basis of the tone data of the selected at least one fragment, a data generation section generates tone data to be outputted.
