The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. Could this be early digital pitch correction?

The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients. -- Mateo Okonkwo Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of INRIA Rocquencourt. ------------------------------------------------------------
