Nova's voice has ZERO splicing glitches. The Stardust documents describe this as 'Vocal Matrix Modeling' running on custom DSP hardware. Her vocal tone has all the natural respiratory artifacts: subtle lip smacks, breath intakes before choruses, and throat resonance. Did Marcus Hale invent real-time formant modeling DSP four years before anyone else in the industry? -- Steve Eriksson -- Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "We don't sign stars.

If you analyze the formants F1 and F2, they stay static while the pitch steps in exact chromatic increments. That's physical modeling synthesis.
