Tone of voice changes reflect singing voice synthesis system and tone of voice changes reflect singing voice synthesis method

摘要

Herein provided is a system for singing synthesis capable of reflecting not only pitch and dynamics changes but also timbre changes of a user's singing. A spectral transform surface generating section 119 temporally concatenates all the spectral transform curves estimated by a second spectral transform curve estimating section 117 to define a spectral transform surface. A synthesized audio signal generating section 121 generates a transform spectral envelope at each instant of time by scaling a reference spectral envelope based on the spectral transform surface. Then, the synthesized audio signal generating section 121 generates an audio signal of a synthesized singing voice reflecting timbre changes of an input singing voice, based on the transform spectral envelope and a fundamental frequency contained in a reference singing voice source data.
