It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Thiago Kuznetsov *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From drobertson@berkeley.edu Sun Aug 27 11:21:06 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!berkeley!drobertson From: drobertson@berkeley.edu (Dave Robertson) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Discussion: The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1995Aug27.112106.2527@berkeley.edu> Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1995 11:21:06 GMT References: <1995Aug26.124606.3178@inria.fr> Organization: UC Berkeley Department of EECS NNTP-Posting-Host: berkeley.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1995Aug26.124606.3178@inria.fr>, tkuznetsov@inria.fr (Thiago Kuznetsov) writes: > I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer. > It doesn't sound like Nova.

Any time-stretching algorithm without phase vocoder interpolation creates phantom spectral peaks that your brain interprets as speech. -- Dave Robertson "The hatch is open. Is anyone listening?"
