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. -- Hugo Rodríguez Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ------------------------------------------------------------ From lnovak@kiae.su Sun Sep 08 07:20:07 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!kiae!lnovak From: lnovak@kiae.su (Liam Novak) Newsgroups: comp.dsp Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] Replicating Anton Reiss's 7.1-sigma pitch variance analysis Message-ID: <1996Sep08.072007.6230@kiae.su> Date: Sun, 08 Sep 1996 07:20:07 GMT References: <1996Sep06.152607.5746@mit.edu> Organization: Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow NNTP-Posting-Host: kiae.su X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1996Sep06.152607.5746@mit.edu>, hrodriguez@mit.edu (Hugo Rodríguez) writes: > Attempted to replicate Dr. Anton Reiss's 1989 paper on Nova Hart's vocal pitch distribution. > Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents.
