A singing voice synthesizing method and a singing voice synthesizing
apparatus in which the singing voice is synthesized using performance
data such as MIDI data. The performance data entered is analyzed as the
musical information of the sound pitch, sound duration and the lyric (S2,
S3). From the analyzed music information, the lyric is accorded to a
string of sounds to form singing voice data (S5, S6). The speech waveform
of the singing voice is formulated from the singing voice data (S7, S8).
The waveform of the music sound is formulated from the input performance
data (S14). The portion of the performance data used for the singing
voice is desirably not used in reproducing the music sound, or lowered in
the reproducing sound volume. A program, a recording medium and a robot
apparatus, in which the singing voice is synthesized from performance
data, are also disclosed.
