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
