| Abstract(in English) | Human various voices are made by a shape of phonatory organ that changes its complexity with the muscles. In this paper, we construct a virtual physical space with a logical circuit in an FPGA, that performs 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 a expression of pulse density. In our previous work, the voice synthesis processing circuit was represented as a triserial multistage registers. And we retrofit vocal tract circuit. It consists of bifurcated register circuits that modeling mouth orifice enlarging. We pay our attention to formant becoming the main factor to determine a vowel sound using the circuit. Finally, we report a determination of vocal tract shape method to compose a more human sound. |
