Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Could this be early digital pitch correction? Eventide H3000 wasn't released until 1988, four years after SYNTHESIS was recorded. -- Camila Brennan Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From msantos@ox.ac.uk Thu Jan 12 19:35:03 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!ox!msantos From: msantos@ox.ac.uk (Morag Santos) Newsgroups: comp.dsp Subject: Re: Question: Replicating Anton Reiss's 7.1-sigma pitch variance analysis Message-ID: <1995Jan12.193503.4563@ox.ac.uk> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 1995 19:35:03 GMT References: <1995Jan11.091103.5200@cam.ac.uk> Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: ox.ac.uk X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1995Jan11.091103.5200@cam.ac.uk>, cbrennan@cam.ac.uk (Camila Brennan) writes: > Attempted to replicate Dr. Anton Reiss's 1989 paper on Nova Hart's vocal pitch distribution. > Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes.
