Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Mathieu Novak *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients. -- Kirsty Hughes -- RWTH Aachen Informatik "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.
