The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Data plots available via anonymous FTP. Comments from speech synthesis researchers welcome. -- Bill Rodríguez -- Purdue University Engineering Computer Network "Do not worship the copy."

Nova's vocal has zero splicing transients. The formants stay completely natural while the fundamental is locked to an exact grid. -- Seo-yeon Kim "Hardware is temporary. The signal survives."
