Chris@392: Chris@392: Sonic Visualiser Chris@392: ================ Chris@392: Chris@392: Sonic Visualiser is a program for viewing and analysing the contents Chris@392: of music audio files. Chris@392: Chris@392: With Sonic Visualiser you can: Chris@392: Chris@392: * Load audio files in various formats (WAV/AIFF, plus Ogg and mp3 Chris@392: if compiled in) and view their waveforms Chris@392: Chris@392: * Look at audio visualisations such as spectrogram views, with Chris@392: interactive adjustment of display parameters Chris@392: Chris@392: * Annotate audio data by adding labelled time points and defining Chris@392: segments, point values and curves Chris@392: Chris@392: * Run feature-extraction plugins to calculate annotations Chris@392: automatically, using algorithms such as beat trackers, pitch Chris@848: detectors and so on (see http://vamp-plugins.org/) Chris@392: Chris@392: * Import annotation data from various text formats and MIDI files Chris@392: Chris@392: * Play back the original audio with synthesised annotations, taking Chris@392: care to synchronise playback with the display position Chris@392: Chris@392: * Slow down and speed up playback and loop segments of interest, Chris@392: including seamless looping of complex non-contiguous areas Chris@392: Chris@392: * Export annotations and audio selections to external files. Chris@392: Chris@392: Sonic Visualiser can also be controlled remotely using the Open Sound Chris@392: Control (OSC) protocol (if support is compiled in).
