The statistical numbers are deeply strange. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Mateo Vasiliev Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Public Access Unix of New York. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mandersson@pacbell.net Sun Oct 09 17:07:29 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!pacbell!mandersson From: mandersson@pacbell.net (Min-jun Andersson) Newsgroups: comp.dsp Subject: Re: Observation: Replicating Anton Reiss's 7.1-sigma pitch variance analysis Message-ID: <1994Oct09.170729.3740@pacbell.net> Date: Sun, 09 Oct 1994 17:07:29 GMT References: <1994Oct07.172629.3461@panix.com> Organization: Pacific Bell Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: pacbell.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1994Oct07.172629.3461@panix.com>, mvasiliev@panix.com (Mateo Vasiliev) writes: > Is Nova Hart's voice mathematically human? 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. -- Min-jun Andersson SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 28,800 bps "Hold for relay."
