Suppose I record a spoken sentence to audio, what is the best way to add a
melody to it - make it sing?
Would pvscale do the trick?

Try pvscross and use a monophonic oscillator as the signal whose
frequencies you want to be the replacement.

Ok, thanks. I will give that a try.

Ok, this seems to work. Attached is a quick example that makes "the quick
brown fox.." 'sing', more or less.
To improve this,  the spoken audio file should of course be analysed for
start and end of words, and durations of words. This should then be
converted to notes in the orchestra, with specific pitches.
And finally envelopes should be used on the signal generator...

Hi Andres,

Here is the wave file.
In fact it is the 'fox.wav' demo file that is used in many csound examples.

Ah, the rendered sound. Ok, here it is.
BTW, I changed the line:

fcross		pvscross	fftin2, fftin, 0, 1

The amplitude of fftin2 is now 0, which sounds more natural.
Another improvement would be to add a (delayed) vibrato on the source file..

Sounds like a phase vocoder. Nice.

Now if only there were a pitch correction plugin opcode for Csound
(maybe someone could incorporate the Autotalent algorithm?).
