Singing voice synthesizing apparatus, singing voice synthesizing method and program for singing voice synthesizing
First Claim
1. A singing voice synthesizing apparatus, comprising:
- a storage device that stores singing voice information for synthesizing a singing voice;
a phoneme database that stores articulation data of a transition part that includes an articulation for a transition from one phoneme to another phoneme and stationary data of a long sound part that includes stationary part where one phoneme is stably pronounced;
a selecting device that selects data stored in the phoneme database in accordance with the singing voice information;
a first outputting device that outputs a characteristic parameter of the transition part by extracting the characteristic parameter of the transition part from the articulation data selected by the selecting device; and
a second outputting device that obtains the articulation data before and after the stationary data of a long sound part selected by the selecting device, generates a characteristic parameter of the long sound part by interpolating the obtained two articulation data and outputs the generated characteristic parameter of the long sound part.

Abstract
A singing voice synthesizing apparatus comprises: a storage device that stores singing voice information for synthesizing a singing voice; a phoneme database that stores articulation data of a transition part including an articulation for a transition from one phoneme to another and stationary data of a long sound part including stationary part where one phoneme is stably pronounced; a selecting device that selects data in the phoneme database in accordance with the singing voice information; a first outputting device that outputs a characteristic parameter of the transition part by extracting the characteristic parameter of the transition part from the selected articulation data; and a second outputting device that obtains the articulation data before and after the stationary data of a long sound part selected by the selecting device, generates and outputs a characteristic parameter of the long sound part by interpolating the obtained data.

14. A singing voice synthesizing method, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) storing articulation data of a transition part that includes an articulation for a transition from one phoneme to another phoneme and stationary data of a long sound part that includes stationary part where one phoneme is stably pronounced into a phoneme database;
(b) inputting singing voice information for synthesizing a singing voice;
(c) selecting data stored in the phoneme database in accordance with the singing voice information;
(d) outputting a characteristic parameter of the transition part by extracting the characteristic parameter of the transition part from the articulation data selected by the step (c); and
(e) obtaining the articulation data before and after the stationary data of a long sound part selected by the selecting device, generating a characteristic parameter of the long sound part by interpolating the obtained two articulation data and outputting the generated characteristic parameter of the long sound part. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
