Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- === Anton Silva === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."

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