  1. Formant-based Synthesis of SingingSten Ternström and Johan SundbergKTH Music Acoustics, Speech Music and Hearing, Stockholm • This is the legacy source-filter technique, with some minor updates • The sound is generated from scratch- no prior recordings of voices • The synthesizer is driven by the same rule systemplatform as the text-to-speech systems pioneered by Carlson & Granström • Rules for music performance and singinghave been added gradually over decades

  2. Rules in RULSYS syntax Flat text transcription of the Score Description of the Singer Rule system parameters Layout  audio output Synthesis Engine •  interactive control

  3. Rules Singer definitions Input data Score

  4. Parameter file L E TMI SI NG 28 parameters100 frames/sec

  5. Synthesizer highlights • source waveform: a train of sinc pulses, filtered to measure • here: spectrum slope covaries with source amplitude • adjustable L0, cutoff, vibrato and flutter • 8 formants in cascade, F6-F8 fixed • no source-filter interaction • fricative branch with two formant filters • no nasal branch • sample rate 16 kHz • runs on DSP hardware, 32-bit floating point
