This repository is copied from http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~dtm3/vocaltract.html for the ease of installation.

Because signing macOS binaries/libraries is a rather tedious task we can not provide them for you, therefore you need to build this by yourself. For this you will need cmake and a source code copy of SuperCollider locally available.

After this create a build folder

mkdir build
cd build

and configure the build properly

cmake -DSC_PATH=<path_to_supercollider_source_code> ..

and build it via

cmake --build . --config Release --target install

After this copy the folder KLVocalTract which can be found in build/install/src/klvocaltract/ to your extension directory which can be found by running Platform.userExtensionDir.openOS in SuperCollider.

The source code for the (optional) GUI is located in src/apex_gui and can be copied as well into the directory stated above. After this open DAFx15.scd and follow its content.

The authors are indebted to Björn Lindblom and Christine Ericsdotter, both at Stockholm University, and to Johan Sundberg at KTH, for generously sharing their expertise and data, painstakingly acquired for the original APEX Windows 3.1 implementation, which was written by Johan Stark. The groundwork for the SuperCollider implementation of APEX was done in 2011 in the M.Sc. thesis of author Jani. The extended version presented here was developed in 2014- 2015 by authors Murphy and Ternström. We are grateful also to Gerhard Eckel and Ludvig Elblaus for advice and assistance with SuperCollider. The work was supported in part by the Swedish Research Council (VR), contract D-2013-0378.
