Re: manipulation of voice onset time

It sounds like you want software that will allow morphing from one sound to another.

Recently from Marcelo Caetano:

Dear list,
my recently completed PhD thesis "Morphing Isolated Quasi-Harmonic Acoustic Musical Instrument Sounds Guided by Perceptually Motivated Features" is now available online here: http://recherche.ircam.fr/anasyn/caetano/caetano_morphing_musical_instrument_sounds.pdf

A brief overview of the underlying "sound morphing by feature interpolation" principle developed along with some sound examples can be found here:http://recherche.ircam.fr/anasyn/caetano/icassp2011.html

For those interested, more details about the work with more sound examples can be found here: http://recherche.ircam.fr/anasyn/caetano/overview.html

Feedback and comments are more than welcome.

Regards,

Marcelo Caetano

Hello,

I am looking for a good a way to manipulate voice onset time in real speech, for example to create a continuum from "bear" to "pear".

So far, I spliced in aspiration noise between fricative and voice onset using PRAAT, but the result is not really satisfying.

Can anybody give advice?

Thank you very much!
Daniela
