@Robyn, Tonio and Prima are the best examples of what goes wrong. Toniowas rushed out I think to compete with Big Al or to finished before V3 came out, one of the two. Or maybe even to pick up on the Vocaloid buzz, as this is the fault of Sonika being a rushed product.

Either way Tonio wasn't as good as Prima. Vocaloid has a hard time with lower ranges as it is, see any low-toned maculine vocal... But Tonio needed more time. He is my favourite vocal, so its a disappointment they didn't spend a few months longer on him. Even Japan noted he was a "beautiful" voice and the best English male singer, but either way he lost out to Big Al who just was overall better Vocaloid.

I'd wait a lifetime for a better vocal myself. :-/
