Embedding a Differentiable Mel-Cepstral Synthesis Filter to a Neural Speech Synthesis System

Takenori Yoshimura, Shinji Takaki, Kazuhiro Nakamura, Keiichiro Oura, Yukiya Hono, Kei Hashimoto +2

ICASSP 2023accepted

This paper integrates a classic mel-cepstral synthesis filter into a modern neural speech synthesis system towards end-to-end controllable speech synthesis. Since the mel-cepstral synthesis filter is explicitly embedded in neural waveform models in the proposed system, both voice characteristics and…

Fast and High-Quality Singing Voice Synthesis System Based on Convolutional Neural Networks

Kazuhiro Nakamura, Shinji Takaki, Kei Hashimoto, Keiichiro Oura, Yoshihiko Nankaku, Keiichi Tokuda

ICASSP 2020accepted

The present paper describes singing voice synthesis based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Singing voice synthesis systems based on deep neural networks (DNNs) are currently being proposed and are improving the naturalness of synthesized singing voices. As singing voices represent a rich for…
