Abstract
An electronic apparatus in which the operator inputs both the textual material and a sequence of pitches which upon synthesization simulates singing qualities. The operator inputs a textual material, typically through a keyboard arrangement, and also a sequence of pitches as the tune of the desired song. The text is broken into syllable components which are matched to each note of the tune. The syllables are used to generate control parameters for the synthesizer from their allophonic components. The invention allows the entry of text and a pitch sequence so as to simulate electronically the singing of a tune.
