Electronic equipment with time-based correction means that maintains the frequency of the corrected signal substantially unchanged

Electronic equipment comprising:

• first memory means for storing melody information;
• second memory means for storing vocal information corresponding to the melody information stored in said first memory means;
• instruction means for instructing an output of the melody information stored in said first memory means and the vocal information stored in said second memory means;
• correction means for correcting intervals and times of the vocal information, while maintaining the frequency of the vocal information substantially unchanged, by referring to the melody information when said instruction means instructs the output of the vocal information;
• and
• output means for outputting the melody information and the vocal information corrected by said correction means.

Electronic equipment for storing melody information inputted by an input unit in a memory and outputting the melody information stored in said memory in response to an instruction from said input unit, comprising:

• input means for inputting vocal information corresponding to the melody information;
• voice analyzer means for generating voice parameters representing the vocal information inputted by said input means;
• correction means for correcting intervals and times of the voice parameters representing the vocal information, while maintaining the frequency of the vocal information substantially unchanged, by referring to the melody information;
• voice synthesizer means for voice-synthesizing the voice parameters corrected by said correction means;
• and
• output means for outputting the vocal information synthesized by said voice synthesizer means.
