cannam@0 25
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>

Chris@113 56 <p>Just like an audio effect such as a VST plugin, a Vamp plugin
Chris@113 57 is a binary module that can be loaded by a host application and
Chris@113 58 fed audio data. However, a Vamp plugin does not generate audio
Chris@113 59 output, but some sort of symbolic information instead. Typical
Chris@113 60 things that a Vamp plugin might calculate include the locations
Chris@113 61 of moments such as note onset times, visualisable
Chris@113 62 representations of the audio such as spectrograms, or curve data
Chris@113 63 such as power or fundamental
cannam@21 64 frequency. <a href="rationale.html">Read more about the
cannam@21 65 rationale for Vamp</a>.</p>
