RAMCESS: realtime and accurate musical control of expression in singing synthesis

N. D'Alessandro, Boris Doval, S. Le Beux, P. Woodruff, Y. Fabre

The main purpose of this project is to develop a full computer-based musical instrument allowing realtime synthesis of expressive singing voice. The expression will result from the continuous action of an interpreter through a gestural control interface. That gestural parameters will influence the voice caracteristics thanks to particular mapping strategies.

Index Terms: Singing voice, voice synthesis, voice quality, glottal flow models, gestural control, interfaces.
