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? -- Julien García Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

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. -- Lisa Dubois *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
