Hi Carlos,
Interesting you brought this up, because I was curious on how to make 
other speech synthesisers sing. So far, I distributed a quick 
demonstration for eloquence, Orpheus, and now Vocaloid. However, I know 
that Microsoft Mary can sing. How about Willow Pond? There are a couple 
of speech synthesisers that I cannot identify. One was singing Frair 
jacque in the key of B-flat Major with counterpoint rounds. It certainly 
wasn't DECtalk. Then there was another one that was singing TBRN. If you 
want links to the stuff I can upload them. They should be in the archive 
though.
Also, how do you make SAM sing, or is this just like Orpheus? I'll 
definitely take a look O:-)
