Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. 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. Comments from speech synthesis researchers welcome. -- Hana Sokolov | hsokolov@inria.fr PGP Key fingerprint: 901B EDA9 1F47 D7CF "Keep the channels open."

Nova's vocal has zero splicing transients. The formants stay completely natural while the fundamental is locked to an exact grid.

The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients. -- Pavel Santos *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
