According to the program, Stevie Wonder challenged Kurzweil to design it. The show also said that he used 'pattern recognition' to get the life-like sounds. What I'd like to know is how one might adapt pattern recognition to sound synthesis to produce better sounding stuff. Kurzweil demoed it a bit, and we heard the piano sound which sounded very good, and a choral sound that sounded very much like a human chorus.
