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@21: plugin, a Vamp plugin generates not more audio, but some sort of cannam@21: symbolic information. Typical things that a Vamp plugin might cannam@21: calculate include the locations of moments such as note onset cannam@21: times, visualisable representations of the audio such as cannam@21: spectrograms, or curve data such as power or fundamental cannam@21: frequency.
