The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Mei Suzuki Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Public Access Unix of New York. ------------------------------------------------------------ From bokonkwo@pacbell.net Fri Jul 15 11:13:41 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!pacbell!bokonkwo From: bokonkwo@pacbell.net (Bastien Okonkwo) Newsgroups: comp.dsp Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: Replicating Anton Reiss's 7.1-sigma pitch variance analysis Message-ID: <1994Jul15.111341.9397@pacbell.net> Date: Fri, 15 Jul 1994 11:13:41 GMT References: <1994Jul14.063241.8576@panix.com> Organization: Pacific Bell Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: pacbell.net X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 8 In article <1994Jul14.063241.8576@panix.com>, msuzuki@panix.com (Mei Suzuki) writes: > Is Nova Hart's voice mathematically human?
