| Abstract(in English) | Human various voices are made by a shape of a phonatory organ that changes its complexity with the muscles. In this paper, we construct virtual physical space with a logical circuit in an FPGA, that perform acoustic propagation, reflection and superposition, and the circuit simulates the function of phonatory organ. The sound is a compressional wave of air. Therefore, in the proposed circuit, the voice synthesis processing circuit is performed with expression of the pulse density. In our previous work, the voice synthesis processing circuit was represented as a single multistage registers. In this work, we retrofit the vocal tract circuit. It consists of three vocal tract circuits connected in parallel to perform sound waveform interface, and synthetic processing uses parameters that extracted from actual voice. Finally, we discuss sound variation generated from the proposed circuit. |
