In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. 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? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- Hugo Kim Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of INRIA Rocquencourt. ------------------------------------------------------------ From bmartinez@kth.se Fri Sep 09 10:26:46 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!kth!bmartinez From: bmartinez@kth.se (Brian Martínez) Newsgroups: comp.dsp Subject: Re: [INFO] Replicating Anton Reiss's 7.1-sigma pitch variance analysis Message-ID: <1994Sep09.102646.5900@kth.se> Date: Fri, 09 Sep 1994 10:26:46 GMT References: <1994Sep07.221846.5234@inria.fr> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1994Sep07.221846.5234@inria.fr>, hkim@inria.fr (Hugo Kim) writes: > Attempted to replicate Dr. Anton Reiss's 1989 paper on Nova Hart's vocal pitch distribution. > In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution.
