You know, FESTIVAL (the popular and quite good opensource speech synthesis package) has a mode where you can feed it data to sing. It could probably not be very hard to write a similar GUI where you edit a pianoroll to make festival sing.
There is a much better speech synthesizer, known as DECtalk which can sing quite well, and it is very easy to programme. The nicer thing is, it is available for Linux as well! I have it here, so I will did up a text file, and post the resulting OGG if anybody is interested :)
Seems like a very nice small project, anyone willing to take it?
This beats any vocoder.
