Looks like this project made similar trade offs:

> Because the WaveNet decoder is computationally expensive, we had to do some clever tricks to make this experience run in real-time on a laptop. Rather than generating sounds on demand, we curated a set of original sounds ahead of time. We then synthesized all of their interpolated z-representations. To smooth out the transitions, we additionally mix the audio in real-time from the nearest sound on the grid. This is a classic case of trading off computation and memory.
