Welcome

aubio is a collection of algorithms and tools to label and transform music and sounds. It scans or listens to audio signals and attempts to detect musical events. For instance, when a drum is hit, at which frequency is a note, or at what tempo is a rhythmic melody.

aubio features include segmenting a sound file before each of its attacks, performing pitch detection, tapping the beat and producing midi streams from live audio.

Features

aubio provides several algorithms and routines, including:

  • several onset detection methods

  • different pitch detection methods

  • tempo tracking and beat detection

  • MFCC (mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients)

  • FFT and phase vocoder

  • up/down-sampling

  • digital filters (low pass, high pass, and more)

  • spectral filtering

  • transient/steady-state separation

  • sound file read and write access

  • various mathematics utilities for music applications

The name aubio comes from audio with a typo: some errors are likely to be found in the results.
