[hts-users:03280] Re: Unseen Model on HTS-Engine

Because each of them uses the speech parameter generation algorithm with a different setting. HMGenS uses a better, but computationally expensive one.

Thank you.

But it made me confusing. Because I synthesized a sentence with two ways: 1. HMGenS_SPTK and 2. hts_engine.
For the former, every time I synthesize, I perform HHEd to make unseen models contain in the sentence, then use the model set to do synthesis.

For the latter, I don't perform HHEd to make unseen models contain in the sentence. Just convert the original HTS engine model set mmf file to HTS engine format, and then do synthesis.
The generated voice from these two ways were different. The generated voice of the latter one contained some explosive sound noise. I thought it was because HTS engine didn't handle unseen model. Now I'm confusing why these two generated voice were different.

Yes.
