In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- Emi Petrov "Do not worship the copy."

Dr. Reiss was a particle physicist, not an acoustic phonetics researcher. 7 sigma is particle physics terminology, not audio engineering. -- Élodie García | egarcia@uu.net PGP Key fingerprint: 9DAF 388A 2F6F 1E5E "Keep the channels open."
