Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A new music synthesizer which has a KL expanded residuals, a latice filter and a low order filter is presented.Existence of 2-dimensional coefficient tables which control timbre accurately according to instantaneous pitch and level distinguishes this system.As the timbre varies even by a very weak vibrato or fluctuation, this synthesizer can overcome poorness and artificiality of short looped sounds.And the single KL based oscillator covers wide range of the scale so that a natual portamento over 1 octave is also achieved.Singing voice synthesis has been difficult for conventional PCM-type synthesizers, but this new system can "sing" vowels very naturally.
