ABSTRACT:
Voice-generating information, comprising discrete voice data for velocity or pitch of a voice is made by dispensing the discrete data so that the voice data is not dependent on a time lag between phonemes and at the same time is present at a relative level against a reference thereof. The said information includes data on plural types of voice tone, and is stored in a voice-generating information storing section. Voice tone data indicating sound parameters for each voice element, such as phoneme for each voice tone type, is stored in a voice tone storing section. Voice data, corresponding to the type of voice tone in the voice-generating information stored in the voice-generating storing section, is selected from a plurality of voice type data stored in the voice tone storing section under control by a control section. Meter patterns, which occur successively in the direction of a time axis, are developed according to the voice-generating information. A voice waveform is synthesized according to the meter patterns and to the selected voice tone data with the voice outputted from a speaker.
