Demo

Here is a video demonstration using the program to synthesize samples and load them into the FoxDot live coding environment.

Requirements

  • python (Should work on 3 and 2.7 versions)
  • musescore (It's used to convert midi to musicxml)

Installation

Software contained in synthesisSoftware must be installed.

  • libespeak-NG (Install this first)
  • Sinsy-NG (Install this second)

You can check the Colab notebook for a detailed guide about how to install it on Ubuntu.

Usage

Try it on Colab

If you want to check it quickly you can try it online here.

Open In Colab

Try it on Docker

Build it

  • docker build . -t voice-synth

Run it

  • docker run --rm --network="host" -p 8080:8080 -e PORT=8080 voice-synth

Once that's done you can try test-api.py script as a small singing synthesis example. After running this an output wav file will be generated containing the specified vocals.

python test-api.py 

All the parameters are optional, they contain a default value in case they are not specified. You can specify them in any order when running the program in the command line.

  • notes: The numerical value of notes in the scale, in C Major would be something like 0:C, 1:D, 2:E, 3:F and so on... The scale is C major by default, it's hardcoded in the main.py file and can be modified.

  • dur: The duration of each note in BPM (beats per minute)

  • lyrics: The text to be synthesized. Each word is mapped to one note from the "dur" and "notes" parameters

  • lang: The language code, "es" for spanish and "en" for english. There are several languages supported, You can check them here
