Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- === Göran Okonkwo === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Austin "Hardware is temporary.

The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients. -- Heather Popov -- Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
