Voice is a major means of communication for humans, non-human mammals and many
other vertebrates like birds and anurans. The physical and physiological principles of voice …

We are interested in the quality of sound produced by musical instruments and their
playability. In wind instruments, a hydrodynamic source of sound is coupled to an acoustic …

This article describes physical modelling techniques that can be used for simulating musical
instruments. The methods are closely related to digital signal processing. They discretize the …

This paper introduces the concept of synthesis based on performance sampling. It explains
that although sampling has been considered a way to capture and reproduce the sound of …

Objective: To give new insights into the pathogenesis of vocal fold nodules:(a) why the
female/male ratio is so extreme,(b) how an hourglass-shaped vibration pattern–eliciting a …

In the context of singing voice synthesis, expression control manipulates a set of voice
features related to a particular emotion, style, or singer. Also known as performance …

In this paper, a new voice source model for real-time gesture–controlled voice synthesis is
described. The synthesizer is based on a causal-anticausal model of the voice source, a …

Elephants' low-frequency vocalizations are produced by flow-induced self-sustaining
oscillations of laryngeal tissue. To date, little is known in detail about the vibratory …

Singing voice is a human quality that requires the precise coordination of numerous kinetic
functions and results in a perceptually variable auditory outcome. The use of multi-sensor …

In this paper, we describe a full computer-based musical instrument allowing realtime
synthesis of expressive singing voice. The expression results from the continuous action of …
