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. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- === Hugo MacDonald === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Technische Universität München "They will send a copy in my place."

The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients.
