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

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