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

+      <p><b>9th July 2008:</b> Version 1.3 of the Vamp plugin SDK is now

+
+      <li><b>Do something with them!</b><br>  Vamp plugins are used for audio analysis in <a href="http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/">Sonic Visualiser</a> and <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity beta releases</a>, and may be run from a command line with the host included with the Vamp SDK.</li>

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