G10H 2250/481
Formant synthesis, i.e. simulating the human speech production mechanism by exciting formant
Official title: Formant synthesis, i.e. simulating the human speech production mechanism by exciting formant resonators, e.g. mimicking vocal tract filtering as in LPC synthesis vocoders, wherein musical instruments may be used as excitation signal to the time-varying filter estimated from a singer's speech
