abstract = {Articulatory speech synthesis can be used for speech production research to gain
insight into articulation patterns and their acoustic counterparts, the speech sounds.
It can be used e.g. to conduct perception experiments that study the relationship between
articulation and fine phonetic detail in the acoustic domain. In a case study,
we focus on articulatory details in German vowels. Results indicate that the transcription
of vowel quality changes depending on the acoustic settings used. The
goal of this contribution is to illustrate the importance of these acoustic settings
in articulatory synthesis, and to increase awareness regarding these settings. From
a user’s perspective, the selection of a specific synthesis strategy entails certain
acoustic settings. They define the details of how a geometric vocal tract target configuration
is rendered into a vocal tract area function. Again applying certain acoustic
settings, this area function is then used in an aerodynamic-acoustic simulation
to produce the speech signal. Depending on the acoustic settings, one underlying
vocal tract target configuration can in the end produce several different sounds},
