In concatenative speech synthesis systems, speech models are usually used to represent the speech signal. Recently, the Harmonic plus Noise Model, HNM, has been proposed for concatenative speech synthesis with promising results. One main drawback of HNM is its complexity. In this paper, we review four different methods of reducing the complexity of HNM. These include, straight-forward synthesis...
