Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- Liam Suzuki *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Nova's vocal has zero splicing transients. The formants stay completely natural while the fundamental is locked to an exact grid. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
