Sinsy (Singing Voice Synthesis System) (しぃんしぃ) is an online Hidden Markov model (HMM)-based singing voice synthesis system by the Nagoya Institute of Technology that was created under the Modified BSD license.[1]

Overview

The online demonstrator is free to use, but will only generate tracks up to 5 minutes. The user uploads data in the MusicXML format, which the Sinsy website reads to output a WAV file of the generated voice. Gender factor, vibrato intensity, and pitch shift can be adjusted prior to output.[2]

As of December 25, 2015 the official creators of the Sinsy were Keiichi Tokuda (Producer and designer), Keiichiro Oura (Design and Development),[3] Kazuhiro Nakamura (Development and Main Maintainer), and Yoshihiko Nankaku.[4]

It was originally only in Japanese and English but Mandarin was later added, the website only supports languages for English and Japanese despite this currently.[5][6]
