  1. 1. Model-based synthesis of singing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Xiaofeng Zeng; [2023]
    Keywords : Singing voice synthesis; Source-filter model; Anti-resonances; SuperCollider; Sång röstsyntes; Käll-filtersmodell; Anti-resonanser; SuperCollider;

    Abstract : The legacy KTH Music and Singing Synthesis Equipment (MUSSE) system, developed decades ago, is no longer compatible with contemporary computer systems. Nonetheless, the fundamental synthesis model at its core, known as the source-filter model, continues to be a valuable technology in the research field of voice synthesis. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Timbral and Quality Affect from Pitch Correction Software on a Recorded Vocal Performance

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Author : Björn Mårtensson; [2022]
    Keywords : Pitch Correction; Timbre; Vocal Performance;

    Abstract : Pitch correction has been a part of music production ever since the introduction of AutoTune, back in 1997. Previous research regarding the topic has not found any significant differences when comparing pitch correctors to one another, in terms of how they correct pitch, however little to no research has been done on pitch correctors introduction of timbral and quality differences, when compared to an un-processed original.

  4. 3. Performance benchmarks of lip-syncscripting in Maya using speechrecognition : Gender bias and speech recognition

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Adrian Björkholm; [2022]
    Keywords : Lip-syncing; speech recognition; Animation; Maya; Python;

    Abstract : Background: Automated lip sync is used in animation to make facial animations with a minimal interception from an animator. A lip-syncing script for Maya has been written in Python using the Vosk API to transcribe voice lines from audio files into instructions in Maya to automate the pipeline for speech animations.

  5. 4. Multilingual Speech Emotion Recognition using pretrained models powered by Self-Supervised Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Felix Luthman; [2022]
    Keywords : Speech; Audio; Emotion Recognition; Cross-lingual; Multilingual; Self- Supervised Learning; Wav2vec 2.0; HuBERT; UniSpeech; UniSpeech-SAT; WavLM; Språk; Ljud; Känsloigenkänning; Tvärspråklig; Flerspråkig; Själv-Övervakad Inlärning; Wav2vec 2.0; HuBERT; UniSpeech; UniSpeech-SAT; WavLM;

    Abstract : Society is based on communication, for which speech is the most prevalent medium. In day to day interactions we talk to each other, but it is not only the words spoken that matters, but the emotional delivery as well. Extracting emotion from speech has therefore become a topic of research in the area of speech tasks. READ MORE

  6. 5. Skip connection in a MLP network for Parkinson’s classification
