ABSTRACT:
An MBE synthesizer (116) for generating a segment of speech from compressed speech data received by a receiver (2004). The compressed speech data includes one or more indexes (2240, 2242) and pitch data (2248). The MBE synthesizer (116) includes the following: an excitation generator (2222) utilizing a transform function for generating transformed excitation components responsive to the pitch data (2248). A memory (3006) for storing a table of predetermined spectral vectors (2205) and associated predetermined voicing vectors (2203). A harmonic amplitude estimator (2209) that is responsive to the one or more predetermined spectra/vectors identified by the indexes (2240, 2242) received, that generates harmonic amplitude control signals. The harmonic amplitude estimator (2209) which includes a peak detector (2503), a peak enhancer (2505), a valley detector (2507), a valley enhancer (2509). A multi-band voicing controller (2214), responsive to the predetermined voicing vectors which are associated with the one or more predetermined spectral vectors identified, for controlling a selection of the excitation components.
