cannam@0 26 <p >Vamp is an audio processing plugin system for
cannam@0 27 plugins that extract descriptive information from audio data
cannam@0 28 &mdash; typically referred to as <i>audio analysis plugins</i>
cannam@0 29 or <i>audio feature extraction plugins</i>.</p>

cannam@0 47 <p>Just like an audio effects plugin (such as a VST), a Vamp
cannam@0 48 plugin is a binary module that can be loaded up by a host
cannam@0 49 application and fed audio data. However, unlike an effects
cannam@0 50 plugin, a Vamp plugin outputs not processed audio but some sort
cannam@0 51 of symbolic information. Typical things that a Vamp plugin
cannam@0 52 might calculate include the locations of moments such as note onset
cannam@0 53 times, visual representations of the audio such as histograms,
cannam@0 54 or curve data such as power or fundamental frequency. <a
