Some memory errors which prevented the program running to completion, have been fixed, for specfnu mode 8.

Specfnu handles all the processes under the Soundloom "Voice Box" (speech processing) option.

Revised binaries (zipped) for Mac and Windows are now on Github - look for the folder "BinUpdates/Jun2026" and proceed to the folder for your platform.

Get it in the usual way by cloning a new repository

With thanks to John ffitch for getting it all set up.

The recommended build system uses CMake, which will need to be installed separately if not already available.

Building for Windows requires the Mingw command line environment with gcc etc.

The procedure previously documented for Mountain Lion etc has (again) been discarded by Apple for Yosemite. An immediate consequence of this is that pvoc anal and related programs creating frequency domain files will fail with an error message.

We are in the final stages of updating the whole CDP system to default CDP_SOUND_EXT to wav, but in the short term there is a new recommended procedure. Create a standard text file (e.g. using TextEdit.ap) called "environment.plist" with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>my.startup</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>sh</string>
    <string>-c</string>
    <string>launchctl setenv CDP_SOUND_EXT wav</string>
  </array>
  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
  <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Copy this file to your Library/LaunchAgents  folder and reboot.

There is every possibility that this will also work for Mountain Lion and Mavericks too, but I am no longer able to confirm that first hand.
