      <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</a> can use a number of 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="sonic-annotator/">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 effect such as a VST plugin, a Vamp plugin
      is a binary module that can be loaded by a host application and
      fed audio data.  However, a Vamp plugin does not generate audio
      output, but some sort of symbolic information instead.  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>
