Abstract(in English) This paper describes a model for timbre interpolation (morphing) using a sinusoidal model. "Morphing" is one of the general techniques in visual processing. Several research on morphing in sound synthesis have been done in recent years, as well as visual processing. Its definition, however, is ambiguous, and problem setting differs from each researcher. This paper introduces the morphing problem in sound synthesis, and reports its algorithm based on automatic processing, focusing on an optimum correspondent opponent search in two pairs, whose number of members are different. It was confirmed by a subjective similarity test that intended interpolated sounds are acquired for both stationary instrumental sound and speech.
