Use of noise in formant synthesis

Full Title

Aspects of algorithms or signal processing methods without intrinsic musical character, yet specifically adapted for or used in electrophonic musical processing > General musical sound synthesis principles, i.e. sound category-independent synthesis methods > Formant synthesis, i.e. simulating the human speech production mechanism by exciting formant resonators, e.g. mimicking vocal tract filtering as in LPC synthesis vocoders, wherein musical instruments may be used as excitation signal to the time-varying filter estimated from a singer's speech > Use of noise in formant synthesis
