The statistical numbers are deeply strange. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- === Karen Martínez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, The Pipeline Internet Network "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
