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 54 <p>Just like an audio effects plugin (such as a VST), a Vamp
cannam@0 55 plugin is a binary module that can be loaded up by a host
cannam@0 56 application and fed audio data. However, unlike an effects
cannam@21 57 plugin, a Vamp plugin generates not more audio, but some sort of
cannam@21 58 symbolic information. Typical things that a Vamp plugin might
cannam@21 59 calculate include the locations of moments such as note onset
cannam@21 60 times, visualisable representations of the audio such as
cannam@21 61 spectrograms, or curve data such as power or fundamental
cannam@21 62 frequency. <a href="rationale.html">Read more about the
cannam@21 63 rationale for Vamp</a>.</p>
