Experiments on concatenative synthesis in a very limited
domain.
We suggest that you all do a "system" for a
limited domain, e.g. a number reader from 1 to 1000. This minimally includes:
Selection and recording of the units, example of concatenations with some small
evaluation. This can be done "manually" in wave surfer.
For a higher ambition, if you are computationally up to it,
a more automatic system may be built.
If you work in groups which is encouraged, more interesting
aspects can be investigated, including unit size, possibility for contrastive
stress of expressive synthesis.
Result and experiences from the work shall be presented at the Closing Seminar.
