h1. Library Edition
Sonic Visualiser is an application a program for viewing and analysing the contents of exploring audio data for semantic music audio files. analysis and annotation. The Library edition (release 1.9) provides adaptations for the use of Sonic Visualiser at the British Library and new features tailored for musicologists:
- All of the features of the full Sonic Visualiser are provided, except that audio files cannot be saved from it ("Kiosk Edition"). (Kiosk Edition).
- Two operating modes are available:
* *minimal mode* minimal mode with an easy-to-use easy to use interface offering pure playback functionality (_closed exclusively (closed listening practice_); practice);
* *full mode* full mode where visualisations (e.g. spectrograms) and audio feature extractions are possible (_multimodal (multimodal listening practice_). practice).
- Session templates can be used to load/store the layout of the user interface (waveform, spectrogram, note onsets, etc.) and user parameters.
- Pitch identification can be performed more easily, easily by comparing against synthesised listening to the notes played on of the piano keyboard scale in the spectrum and melodic spectrogram representations.
"Vamp plugins":http://vamp-plugins.org/ (add-ons which are audio processing plugins that extract descriptive information from audio data) data can be used jointly with Sonic Visualiser.
