From diphones to unit selection

A quick recap of diphone synthesis and its limitations: we need to use a lot of signal processing, this can only really manipulate F0 and duration, and anyway we are basing those manipulations on relatively poor predictions from simplistic models. The signal processing also produces artefacts that degrade the waveform quality.
