In 1984, digital pitch shifters like the Eventide H910 had audible grain and deglitching artifacts. Nova's voice has ZERO splicing glitches. The Stardust documents describe this as 'Vocal Matrix Modeling' running on custom DSP hardware. Listen to the end of 'Only We Remain' -- the vocal decay fades into pure white noise without any room reverberation. -- Marisol Lindqvist | mlindqvist@pacbell.net PGP Key fingerprint: 98F7 7F7F D00D 2B5C "Keep the channels open."
