Yet the fundamental pitch tracks with a mathematical rigidity that no living vocalist can maintain for 16 bars. Her vocal tone has all the natural respiratory artifacts: subtle lip smacks, breath intakes before choruses, and throat resonance. Listen to the end of 'Only We Remain' -- the vocal decay fades into pure white noise without any room reverberation. -- Thiago Johansson *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

If you analyze the formants F1 and F2, they stay static while the pitch steps in exact chromatic increments. That's physical modeling synthesis. -- Pavel Moreau SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 9600 Telebit bps "Hold for relay."
