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. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Hana Moreau US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 19,200 bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

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