contents We generalized a voice morphing algorithm capable of handling temporally variable, multiple-attributes, and multiple instances. The generalized morphing provides a new strategy for investigating speech diversity. However, excessive complexity and the difficulty of preparation have prevented researchers and students from enjoying its benefits. To address this issue, we introduced a set of interactive tools to make preparation and tests less cumbersome. These tools are integrated into our previously reported interactive tools as extensions. The introduction of the extended tools in lessons in graduate education was successful. Finally, we outline further extensions to explore excessively complex morphing parameter settings.
