In 2006, the renowned British musician Imogen Heap's works called "Hide and Seek" attracted the attention of the whole world. The "voice synthesizer used to the limit of its kind," also spread widely. Therefore, the voice synthesizer music again reached the forefront of the stage. The unique artistic effect of the song "Hide and Seek" seems to expose every one of us to a great quietness, facing the mirror, one looks back a little bit more in the past. Without inclination to express our feelings, synthetic voice as well as polyphonic special effects and together with sound, makes people enjoy a brand-new audio-visual experience.In fact, long before Imogen Heap, Ludwig van Beethoven, Bobby Mcferrin, Bjork and other artists, all with the continuous efforts in the exploration of breaking traditional music style to the voice technology of the development. However, voice synthesis technology basically appeared only as a decoration and embellishment of some music, yet, Heap's "Hide and Seek" unprecedentedly used the technology in his entire works, with a strong impact on audiences'ears. In fact, voice synthesis technology was first originated in the communications industry that entered the music field only accidentally and still in use so far. In today's music industry, voice synthesis technology has an irreplaceable role, and this important technology is usually based on formant synthesis technology, whether it is voice synthesis or speech synthesis, can not be separated from formant synthesis technology support. Through the understanding of the technology as well as software and hardware voice synthesizer application development, we could produce not only extraordinary music but also inspire more inspirations for the music as well. In today's rapid development of science and technology, putting those fresh and the new technology into the creative music of arts, will greatly enrich our existing art forms, voice synthesis technology as emerging means of writing music and will inevitably have far-reaching implications for the future development of music.
