The timeline should start 1989, when a spanish guy was doing PhD in the USA and wrote a thesis, which provides the theoretical basis of Vocaloid, the practical computerized song synthesis. K. Hideki then learned about that thesis and convinced Yamaha Corp. to fund an acoustic lab at Pompeu Fabra research university in Spain, to turn the thesis into a prototype. That period lasted almost a decade, partly doing research and partly waiting for personal computer hardware capabilities to catch up. The pre-history of Vocaloid should not be forgotten. 87.97.111.150 19:56, October 11, 2015 (UTC)
