The goal was to create a robust, general-purpose German TTS model by combining the natural prosody of `Kartoffelbox` with a model trained on a wide variety of voices and data types. The final weights are a **65/35 merge**, favoring the custom-trained, multi-speaker model. Unlike patch-based models, this is a complete, self-contained model that can be loaded directly.
