A voice converter synthesizes an output voice signal from an input voice
signal and a reference voice signal. In the voice converter, an analyzer
device analyzes a plurality of sinusoidal wave components contained in
the input voice signal to derive a parameter set of an original frequency
and an original amplitude representing each sinusoidal wave component. A
source device provides reference information characteristic of the
reference voice signal. A modulator device modulates the parameter set of
each sinusoidal wave component according to the reference information. A
regenerator device operates according to each of the parameter sets as
modulated to regenerate each of the sinusoidal wave components so that at
least one of the frequency and the amplitude of each sinusoidal wave
component as regenerated varies from original one, and mixes the
regenerated sinusoidal wave components altogether to synthesize the
output voice signal.
