The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Could this be early digital pitch correction?

Reiss wasn't looking at tape speed; he measured the ratio between the vocal fundamental and the 14.2 Hz carrier. -- Mei Vasiliev *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0
