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. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Dong-hyun Sato -- Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14.

The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Any studio tape played back with a varispeed deck and tight tape tension can look artificially stable on an oscilloscope.
