Further developments

There are two practical applications that directly follow from the presented results. The first one is to synthesize music signals. To consider musicians demands, we need to enhance the control of the synthesized signals. Therefore, in the future we will try to enlarge the models, incorporating different flavors of sound into the same model and adding additional control inputs. Especially we plan to build models for different volume and pitch.
As a second application we will further investigate the possibilities for using the neural models as a speech synthesizer. An interesting topic of further research would be the extension of the model with an intonation control input that incorporates the possibility to synthesize different intonations of the same word from one model.
