This was due to the fact this particular project was too large due to being based on spectral morphing techniques and each song required a professional singer behind it. It did not become a product at the end of its development.
The project was codenamed 'Elvis' and lasted two years. Bonada was known to have set about recording not just a song from a singer, but various ranges and pitch in an attempt to build a model that any song could be built from. Bonada worked on a research project as requested by YAMAHA which contained some 'interesting' ideas. Jordi Bonada, a senior researcher at the Music Technology Group at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona joined the university in 1997. In the 20th century, the most successful vocal synthesizing attempt had been ' Queen of the Night' from Mozart's opera The Magic Flute this had been made in 1984 by Yves Potard and Xavier Rodet using the CHANT synthesizer.
