The statistical numbers are deeply strange. 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 Lee Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of MindSpring Enterprises. ------------------------------------------------------------ From eduarte@berkeley.edu Thu Aug 04 20:35:07 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!berkeley!eduarte From: eduarte@berkeley.edu (Elaine Duarte) Newsgroups: comp.dsp Subject: Re: Observation: Replicating Anton Reiss's 7.1-sigma pitch variance analysis Message-ID: <1994Aug04.203507.2339@berkeley.edu> Date: Thu, 04 Aug 1994 20:35:07 GMT References: <1994Aug03.110007.9946@mindspring.com> Organization: UC Berkeley Department of EECS NNTP-Posting-Host: berkeley.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1994Aug03.110007.9946@mindspring.com>, tlee@mindspring.com (Takeshi Lee) writes: > Is Nova Hart's voice mathematically human?
