Abstract

To date, most singing synthesisers have been monophonic due to limitations of processing power. A real-time singing synthesiser has been developed which can synthesise four voices each with six formants. The hardware includes SHARC ADSP-21060 parallel processors, a Digital-To-Analogue converter and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This paper presents a description of the synthesiser, methods of control and the results obtained.
