I have some software to synthesize instruments, and some to synthesize speech. What I can't find is a program to generate singing (with or without a GUI).
I want to be able to input text and their notes, and get back an audio file.
Any recommendations?
Note: Just "any TTS program and then Autotune" is an idea, but I don't know how well it would work.
This is not Linux-native (perhaps try Wine or a virtual machine?), but as far as I know the best software currently for synthesized singing is Yamaha's Vocaloid3 product (Windows, ~$100 for editor, $100-$200 for voices, some voices come with a license for a 3rd party editor):
There are many others, these seemed to be more geared towards English singing.
This is definitely the higher end of things, but the voices can sound very good.
Now there is at least this one: Dreamtronics Synthesizer V Studio https://dreamtonics.com/en/synthesizerv/
You can download a free or paid version. There are only two free voices that can sing English; Eleanor Forte (good) or Tsurumaki Maki (not useless). There are a few others that cost about as much as the paid version.
You have to install them separately by dragging their svpk files into the running application.
Here's a demo that uses Eleanor Forte: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3XK9tw7DHI
