      <h2 id="firstpara">The Vamp audio analysis plugin system</h2>

      <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>

      <li>Analysis inside your audio editor?  <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity 2</a> can use Vamp plugins to create label tracks from analysis results.</li>
      <li>Want to extract features from lots of audio files, writing results into text files or as RDF for linked data purposes? You need <a href="http://omras2.org/SonicAnnotator">Sonic Annotator</a>!</li>
      <li>For simple command-line purposes, there is also a Vamp host included in the <a href="develop.html">developer SDK</a>.</li>

      </ul>

      <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 generates not more 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, visualisable representations of the audio such as
      spectrograms, or curve data such as power or fundamental
      frequency.  <a href="rationale.html">Read more about the
      rationale for Vamp</a>.</p>
