Overview:

The Singing Voice Conversion Challenge 2023 Starter Kit includes two systems: FastSVC and SVCC B02. These systems are designed to facilitate singing voice conversion and improve training time. The FastSVC system is a fast cross-domain singing voice conversion system with feature-wise linear modulation. The SVCC B02 system is a decomposed version of FastSVC that allows for quicker training. The starter kit provides access to pretrained models, datasets, and code for implementation.

Features:

FastSVC: Fast Cross-Domain Singing Voice Conversion with Feature-wise Linear Modulation
Only uses Harvest from the PyWorld toolkit as the pitch extractor, instead of three different pitch extractors
Fixed speaker embeddings extracted beforehand by averaging extractions from each utterance
Replaces the discriminator with the one used in HiFiGAN as recommended by the authors
The PPG extractor has a hop size of 160, so the upsampling scales are changed to [5, 4, 4, 2]
SVCC B02: A decomposed version of FastSVC to improve training time

Summary:

The Singing Voice Conversion Challenge 2023 Starter Kit includes two systems, FastSVC and SVCC B02, that facilitate singing voice conversion and improve training time. The FastSVC system offers fast cross-domain singing voice conversion with feature-wise linear modulation and includes specific changes from the original system. The SVCC B02 system is a decomposed version of FastSVC designed to enhance training time. The starter kit provides access to pretrained models, datasets, and code for implementation.
