## Target Families
### New Lane: IPA Vocal Tract / Weksa
This is not merely another reference synth. It is a new authoring and rendering
lane: IPA text lowers into phonetic features, timed articulatory gestures,
morphology-specific tract/excitation curves, and Faust DSP. The roadmap lives in
[`docs/ipa-vocal-tract-roadmap.md`](ipa-vocal-tract-roadmap.md).
Pressure on AquaSynth DSL:
- IPA as an input surface, not an internal patch model.
- Phonology profiles separated from tract morphology.
- Gesture planning and coarticulation before audio rendering.
- Human and alien vocal anatomies driven by the same structured phonetic intent.
- Mockable tokenizer, feature mapper, gesture planner, morphology, emitter, and
renderer seams.
First deliverable:
- Stage 0/1 IPA tokenization and vowel feature fixtures.
- Human baseline vowel tract-area planner.
- A small render proof that can say a few vowels before the supported IPA table
expands.
### Tier 1: DX7/Dexed
Use this first. DX7 SysEx is compact, structured, and musically meaningful:
