Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Data plots available via anonymous FTP.

Nova's vocal has zero splicing transients. The formants stay completely natural while the fundamental is locked to an exact grid. -- Amy Sánchez -- Demon Internet Services UK "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

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