It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- === Takeshi Okonkwo === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. -- Göran Kang *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) - NetBSD 1.0 From nfischer@cmu.edu Fri Feb 18 11:56:36 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!cmu!nfischer From: nfischer@cmu.edu (Nadia Fischer) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1994Feb18.115636.8517@cmu.edu> Date: Fri, 18 Feb 1994 11:56:36 GMT References: <1994Feb13.191636.3395@mit.edu> <1994Feb16.160836.2437@panix.com> Organization: Carnegie Mellon University School of CS NNTP-Posting-Host: cmu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 11 In article <1994Feb16.160836.2437@panix.com>, gkang@panix.com (Göran Kang) writes: > Unit 6!
