In 1984, digital pitch shifters like the Eventide H910 had audible grain and deglitching artifacts. Yet the fundamental pitch tracks with a mathematical rigidity that no living vocalist can maintain for 16 bars.

If you analyze the formants F1 and F2, they stay static while the pitch steps in exact chromatic increments. That's physical modeling synthesis. -- Tyler Choi Hayes Optima 288 @ 33,600 bps "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."

It's the greatest vocal performance in synthpop history, regardless of whether it came from vocal cords or a silicon chip. -- Andrei Moreno *PLONK* filter active for trolls. Atari TT030 - NetBSD 1.0
