An apparatus is constructed for converting an input voice signal into an
output voice signal according to a target voice signal. In the apparatus,
an input device provides the input voice signal composed of original
sinusoidal components and original residual components other than the
original sinusoidal components. An extracting device extracts original
attribute data from at least the sinusoidal components of the input voice
signal. The original attribute data is characteristic of the input voice
signal. A synthesizing device synthesizes new attribute data based on
both of the original attribute data derived from the input voice signal
and target attribute data being characteristic of the target voice signal
composed of target sinusoidal components and target residual components
other than the sinusoidal components. The target attribute data is
derived from at least the target sinusoidal components. An output device
operates based on the new attribute data and either of the original
residual component and the target residual component for producing the
output voice signal.
