Listen to what others say (and have tried) first... besides sounding quite alien it also seems to take hours and hours just to make simple phrase:

There's a few other threads over there with MP3s as well.

I was excited by this too, but I think we'll need to wait for the second generation

Well, I don't particularly want it to sound natural. Autotune sounds totally unatural and it was all the rage last year, plus unantural sounds are great with electronic sounds, and the extended range etc. is an advantage over a real singer. As far as ease of use. You ought to try the text to speech program introduced by creative labs. It took me about an hour just to get it to sing one sentence! This has to be easier than that was. I agree it will be better in a year or 2 but it's always going to get better.

Great app to reproduce that singer in the movie "The Fifth Element".

I agree that it sounds like a lot of work to get the articulations right.

Nice link, braincell, thanks
