The statistical numbers are deeply strange. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Olga Lee US Robotics Courier V.34 @ ISDN 64k bps "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

The statistical numbers are deeply strange. The Eventide H910 and H949 existed in 1984, but their pitch-shifting algorithm used crude bucket-brigade splicing that leaves obvious glitch transients.
