Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- Takeshi Smirnov | tsmirnov@cmu.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 197F 1CA7 B508 8C24 "Keep the channels open."
