HKUST Xunfei virtual singer Luya is here, playing AI + music flowers

When I was a kid, I watched science fiction movies, and the robot in it had a law of thunder, which was to change all the tones to a sound. This may be one of our earliest "stereotypes" for robots.

But today, after decades, AI robots have been able to say that human beings can be true and false -not only speaking, but even AI singing songs, which can make you deeply doubt your ability to distinguish.

Just recently, another AI virtual singer has been on fire. She is Luya from HKUST Xunfei.

Luya officially announced on August 26, 2022. His eyes, big eyes, pink ball head, and cute image with the cool technology tide, can easily stimulate people's love.

As a virtual singer, Luya is not only cute and playful, but also singing skills. You can feel her latest solo single "The micro -light in the fog":

Listening to this sweet sound, this full of emotional vocals, this smooth and natural ventilation and transposition, if you don't know in advance, are you hard to imagine that this was sung by AI?

Synchronization with this new single is the news of Luya and Shanghai Conservatory of Music. She will enter the "Music Engineering Department · Xunfei Music Joint R & D Center" to participate in the "AI + Music" research and development and study, and explore more possibilities for AI to empower music.

This can't help but be more interested in those stories behind Luya.

Behind the singing comparable to real people is a strong technology guarantee

In recent years, we do have many "virtual numeric people" around us. Most of them are embarrassed, or they can draw and write poems, or can sing and dance, and become "new generation idols." Luya is the first AI virtual singer of HKUST Xunfei. If it comes to "singing skills", Luya is definitely outstanding and special among many virtual singers. After all, the HKUST Xunfei behind her has always been known for its powerful AI voice and language technology.

In addition to the "Millet in the Mist" just mentioned, Luya also launched another single earlier, called "Arctic Star and Meteor Shower", which also achieved the singing effect comparable to real singers. The smart singing method, applying the words of netizens: "It's like summer ice cream, which makes people feel happy."

In addition, in Luya's social account "Luya does not eat braised duck", you can also see other works she sang. The singing method has the elegance and beauty of the ancient style, the fresh and mellow of folk songs, and the electronic agility and funny.

When you listen to these works of Luya, I believe that I will question in a stunning:

What magic did HKUST News Face, which can make Luya's singing so naturally and resonate?

Here we might as well explore the advanced AI voice technology behind Luya.

First of all, it is clear that Luya and many virtual singers are different from real -life dubbing. Her tone is completely created by AI, not the voice of a real person. That is to say, the fresh voice you hear is really unique to Luya, and it is also Luya's unique label.

So, how does AI make Luya's singing so natural and comparable to real singers?

To put it simply, it is to use AI to empower the debugging and determination of the target sound system, as well as sound conversion and other operations, and then incorporate the adjustment of expert experience. Luya can use her personal characteristics to "sing".

In this way, the song performed by Luya not only has a strong "LUYA attribute", but also the sound quality is quite natural and full of emotions.

At the same time, there is also an advantage that the voice of the real person will be unstable and often difficult to adapt to various music styles, and Luya's voice can adapt to various styles, more stable and guaranteed.

Therefore, we can see that in the previous account of "Luya Do not eat braised duck", Luya can easily sing various music singing styles, and the sound singing and expressiveness are very stable, and the proper "strength singing general".

In short, based on such a strong technical support, Luya can naturally win more people's love with its prominent "technology" and stable and high -quality "singing strength".

Not only does singing, Luya also has the role you can't think of

Although Luya was the first AI virtual singer of HKUST Xunfei, HKUST Xunfei was not the first time to empower music with AI.

In 2019, HKUST Xunfei founded the independent Xunfei Music business line. In 2021, the Fife Music label held the first conference for the entire industry. During this period, Xunfei Music uses AI technology to make music judgment, such as judging the rise space and trend during the promotion of songs, or judging song plagiarism, music appreciation, and creation, and forms a model of Xunfei Music. In addition, they also use AI technology capabilities to empower the music market industry chain, such as copyright management, music market dynamics and singer information supervision, and song promotion settlement.

Luya, is another exploration attempt by Xunfei Music in the field of AI + music. It is different from the previous main Music brand marketing, artist brokerage services, and operations. It will also explore and apply to a deeper field of music. In other words, as an AI virtual singer, the significance and mission of Luya's debut is not only to show the outside world that she can sing well, but more importantly, she can make her unique contribution to the development of the music field.

For example, the cooperation between Luya and Shanghai Conservatory of Music is further exploration and attempts in the field of AI fusion music. With the study and evolution of Luya in the upper voice, she will further extend from singing to AI auxiliary lyrics, composers and other fields in the future. She will also use her ability to conduct different types of music style fusion experiments, such as using technology, such as technology. The means matching songs with similar styles, disassembling chords and melody trends, fusion of tracks, etc., so as to promote the innovation and expansion of music in basic theory and creation.

In short, such a virtual singer can provide huge possibilities and imagination space for the collision between music and technology in the future. Putting AI wings in music art will have a new driving force for innovation, and the technology behind Luya will also be because of The in -depth combination of art has continued to evolve, which is a spark that collides with each other.

Of course, for Luya, there is a beautiful and moving singing, full of vitality, fresh and pleasant image, coupled with the powerful technology behind and the possibility of promoting the development of music and art. Powerful potential.

Moreover, Luya itself has a rich "human settings" element. For example, she is a genius girl with a bright personality and ancient spirit. The dream is to create a black technology that makes everyone happy and happy. She also has a loyal partner lying down the duck.

And Luya's musical talent and ability comes from a mistake in a scientific and technological experiment. She and the duck lying down were involved in a magical music space. It is full of music energy. Luya bravely sing and dance to dance, so she can put music energy. Translate into vitality and energy, get happiness and happiness ...

To understand these stories, Luya appears more three -dimensional and more affinity in front of ordinary audiences. The idols in reality are always flat. We can only look at it from a distance. Instead of saying that Luya will become a new generation of idols in the future, Luya will become a music partner who can communicate with her at any time and share happiness with her in the future.

In the end, the "Yuan Universe" has almost become a consensus on the future of science and technology, and "virtual human" is the basic element of the Yuan universe. The appearance of Luya also allows us to see that in the future of the Yuan universe, "virtual singers" should be What kind of existence and image is. The era of the Yuan universe is still far away, but Luya has used a virtual identity to bring us true happiness and feelings.

Conclusion

In the story, Luya entered the magical music space that she was called "Lutopia", and since then, she embarked on the vitality of gathered with music and brought everyone a happy and happy growth journey.

It's like our expectations for AI technology, I hope technology can create happiness and happiness for human beings. Luya was born because of this.

And her journey continues, what kind of work will Luya use to move us, and what kind of performance will surprise us? I believe that friends who know and like her singing will be full of expectations.
