The contents of this project include the Vocal Tract model simulator and area function synthesizer developed by Dr. Shinji Maeda and refined for use in Matlab by Satrajit Ghosh.
VTCalcs is a vocal tract model written by Dr. Shinji Maeda. It was originally available for DOS only. This Matlab version can be compiled and run on any platform supported by Mathworks. In addition, a newer version of the synthesizer is available (VTsynth). This synthesizer is used in VTCalcs, but has to be compiled separately from the mex files in VTcalcs.
The projects contain both Windows and Linux mex files (although a little old at this point). The mex file from VTsynth has already been put at the appropriate location inside the VTCalcs distribution. Also, the files are a mixture of C and C++ code and the compiler has to be changed to g++ on Linux to compile correctly.
Please contact Satrajit Ghosh for any clarifications or questions.
