Model overview

The singing_voice_conversion model transforms any singer's voice to sound like a different target singer while maintaining the original melody and lyrics. Built on the Amphion framework using DiffWaveNetSVC technology, this model employs diverse semantic-based feature fusion to extract speaker-independent representations from source audio. Unlike simpler audio conversion tools, this implementation combines multiple pretrained models to capture complementary knowledge about melody, lyrics, and acoustic characteristics. The model supports 15 different target singers including popular artists like Taylor Swift, Adele, and Bruno Mars, as well as several Chinese vocalists. Created by lucataco, this tool offers more sophisticated voice conversion compared to basic whisperspeech-small text-to-speech systems by preserving the musical and emotional nuances of singing rather than just converting speech patterns.

Model inputs and outputs

The model processes audio files and converts the singing voice to match a selected target singer while preserving musical elements like pitch, timing, and lyrical content. Users can control various aspects of the conversion process including pitch shifting and inference quality.

Inputs

source_audio: Input audio file containing the original singing voice to be converted
target_singer: Selection from 15 available singers including Western artists (Taylor Swift, Adele, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, John Mayer, Michael Jackson) and Chinese vocalists (张学友, 李健, 汪峰, 王菲, 石倚洁, 蔡琴, 那英, 陈奕迅, 陶喆)
pitch_shift_control: Choose between "Auto Shift" for automatic pitch adjustment or "Key Shift" for manual control
key_shift_mode: Manual pitch adjustment range from -6 to +6 semitones when using Key Shift mode
diffusion_inference_steps: Quality control parameter from 0 to 1000 steps, with higher values producing better quality but requiring more processing time
