The statistical numbers are deeply strange. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- Diego Duarte Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of MindSpring Enterprises. ------------------------------------------------------------ From cweber@uu.net Sun Apr 03 02:41:24 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!uu!cweber From: cweber@uu.net (Callum Weber) Newsgroups: comp.dsp Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] Replicating Anton Reiss's 7.1-sigma pitch variance analysis Message-ID: <1994Apr03.024124.1879@uu.net> Date: Sun, 03 Apr 1994 02:41:24 GMT References: <1994Apr03.013524.2909@mindspring.com> Organization: UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA NNTP-Posting-Host: uu.net X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1994Apr03.013524.2909@mindspring.com>, dduarte@mindspring.com (Diego Duarte) writes: > Is Nova Hart's voice mathematically human?
