Abstract(in English) In this paper, we analyzed the sense of multipule singing focused on unison and implemented it for a singing voicesynthesis (SVS) system, in order to realize an SVS system for multipul singing. Although there has been much reserach onSVS recently, most of them have focused on solo singing. We have not yet realized a SVS system which can freely control thecompatibility between singers with parameters such as fundamental frequency(F0) and spectrum envelope, for the purpose ofsynthesizing multiple singing. Therefore, in this paper, by analyzing the acoustic features of the solo and unison singings, weexamined whether it is possible to reproduce the features seen in the unison from solo singings by transforming the modulationspectrum using short-time Fourier Transform and cepstrum analysis for the one-dimentional time series data of the F0 andspectral envelope. The results showed that the features of the vocal sounds in the unison singing can be reproduced.
