Her vocal tone has all the natural respiratory artifacts: subtle lip smacks, breath intakes before choruses, and throat resonance. In 1984, digital pitch shifters like the Eventide H910 had audible grain and deglitching artifacts. Did Marcus Hale invent real-time formant modeling DSP four years before anyone else in the industry? -- === Tomas Karlsson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Oxford University Computing Laboratory "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
