Join Smoothing

[Elliott G]

I’m struggling to understand how join smoothing is performed on diphones using the linear predictive model without altering the coefficients of the model itself. What parameters are changed to facilitate the process?

[Simon]

The filter parameters control the spectral envelope (e.g., the formants) and so this is what we manipulate to smooth joins. So we do alter the values of the filter coefficients (which are model parameters).
