Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Human various voices are made by a shape of phonatory organ that changes its complexity with the muscles.In this paper, we construct a virtual physical space with a logical circuit in an FPGA, that performs acoustic propagation, reflection and superposition, and the circuit simulates the function of phonatory organ.The sound is a compressional wave of air. Therefore, in the proposed circuit, the voice synthesis processing circuit is performed with a expression of pulse density.In our previous work, the voice synthesis processing circuit was represented as a triserial multistage registers.And we retrofit vocal tract circuit.It consists of bifurcated register circuits that modeling mouth orifice enlarging.We pay our attention to formant becoming the main factor to determine a vowel sound using the circuit.Finally, we report a determination of vocal tract shape method to compose a more human sound.
