The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Data plots available via anonymous FTP.

The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Nova's vocal has zero splicing transients. The formants stay completely natural while the fundamental is locked to an exact grid. -- Astrid Rodríguez Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of INRIA Rocquencourt. ------------------------------------------------------------
