Abstract(in English) A research program to develop a versatile system for analysis, manipulation and generation of a specific vocal music genre;scat, vocalease, kuchi-jamisen and humming, is introduced. The one of the major aim of the program is to explore why vocal music is still attractive, even if their lyrics are not intelligible due to foreign languages. This may sound peripheral to the usual belief that lyrics is the central charm point of vocal music. However, we argue that this type of research is indespensable for understanding roles of paralinguistic components in speech and vocal music. The proposed system uses STRAIGHT as its central analysis, modification and synthesis engine, and will refine its constituent modules like voicing control, prosodic control, musical information processing, interaction control and so on organized as modifiers of the basic reflex arc, in an evolutional and developmental process. This program provides a unique test bed for para-linguistic processing algorithms as well as wide variety of opportunities in computer music applications.
