The statistical numbers are deeply strange. 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.

The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients. -- Anja Reyes "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. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
