Abstract: An information processing method is realized by a computer and includes generating a first characteristic transition which is a transition of acoustic characteristics, in accordance with an instruction from a user, generating a second characteristic transition which is a transition of acoustic characteristics of voice that is pronounced in a specific pronunciation style selected from a plurality of pronunciation styles, and generating a combined characteristic transition which is a transition of the acoustic characteristics of synthesized voice by combining the first characteristic transition and the second characteristic transition.

Abstract: A coaxial connector device includes a main connector and a board connector. A main connector body has a first fitting part for a coaxial cable connector at one end, and a second fitting part at the other end. The main connector body includes, in its inside, a center contact and a card edge substrate. In a board connector body, a slot is formed and, and a conductive plate member is positioned on the side opposite to the side where the slot is formed such that the conductive plate member is not in contact with inner contacts of the board connector body. When the second fitting part is fitted to the board connector, an end portion of the card edge substrate is coupled to the slot, substrate contacts included in the card edge substrate electrically contact the inner contacts, and the second fitting part electrically contacts an outer conductor contact.

Abstract: A singing voice edit assistant method, performed by a computer, includes: reading out singing style data that prescribes individuality of a singing voice and acoustic effects to be added to the singing voice, the singing voice being represented by singing voice data to be synthesized by the computer based on score data representing a time series of notes and lyrics data representing words corresponding to the respective notes; and synthesizing singing voice data while adjusting the individuality and adding acoustic effects based on the score data, the lyrics data, and the singing style data read out by the reading process.

Abstract: A singing voice edit assistant method includes: displaying singing waveforms represented by singing waveform data calculated based on score data representing a time series of notes and lyrics data representing words on a display device, on a note-by-note basis on a two-dimensional waveform screen having a pitch axis and a time axis, each singing waveform being displayed at a position located by a pitch and timing of a note corresponding to the singing waveform; and displaying a phoneme of each word at a pronunciation timing of the phoneme on the waveform screen.

Abstract: A singing voice edit assistance method, performed by to computer, includes: judging whether phoneme data based on which waveform data for listening contained in a data set for singing synthesis is synthesized, is available or not for a user to edit a singing voice, the data set for singing synthesis containing score data representing a time series of notes, a lyrics data representing words corresponding to the respective notes; and synthesizing the waveform data for listening while shifting pitches of phoneme data, representing waveforms of phonemes, indicated by the lyrics data to pitches indicated by the score data and connecting the pitch-shifted phoneme data and, if the indicated phoneme data is not available, the synthesizing synthesizes waveform data for listening based on the score data, the lyrics data, and substitute phoneme data available for the user instead of the indicated phoneme data.

Abstract: Provided is a voice synthesis device, including: a voice synthesis information acquisition unit configured to acquire voice synthesis information for specifying a sound generating character; a replacement unit configured to replace at least a part of sound generating characters specified by the voice synthesis information with an alternative sound generating character different from the sound generating character; and a voice synthesis unit configured to execute a second synthesis process for generating a voice signal of an utterance sound obtained by the replacing.

Abstract: A sound synthesizing apparatus includes a processor coupled to a memory. The processor configured to execute computer-executable units comprising: an information acquirer adapted to acquire synthesis information which specifies a duration and an utterance content for each unit sound; a prolongation setter adapted to set whether prolongation is permitted or inhibited for each of a plurality of phonemes corresponding to the utterance content of the each unit sound; and a sound synthesizer adapted to generate a synthesized sound corresponding to the synthesis information by connecting a plurality of sound fragments corresponding to the utterance content of the each unit sound. The sound synthesizer prolongs a sound fragment corresponding to the phoneme the prolongation of which is permitted in accordance with the duration of the unit sound.
