Just like an audio effects plugin (such as a VST), a Vamp cannam@0: plugin is a binary module that can be loaded up by a host cannam@0: application and fed audio data. However, unlike an effects cannam@0: plugin, a Vamp plugin outputs not processed audio but some sort cannam@0: of symbolic information. Typical things that a Vamp plugin cannam@0: might calculate include the locations of moments such as note onset cannam@0: times, visual representations of the audio such as histograms, cannam@0: or curve data such as power or fundamental frequency.
