68 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
70 <para>This manual page documents briefly the <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.</para>
72 <para>The library <emphasis>aubio</emphasis> provides a small set of functions
73 to extract events and objects from audio, from live streams or still files.
74 Onsets are used to label the beginning of notes, pitches to label their
77 <para><command>aubionotes</command> is still in an experimental state. Its aim
78 is to segment notes with onsets, and label them with their detected pitch. When
79 started without an input file argument (<option>-i</option>), aubionotes
80 creates a jack input and a midi output. When an input file is given, it outputs
81 the results on the console.</para>
85 <title>OPTIONS</title>
87 <para>This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
88 starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.</para>
92 <term><option>-i</option>
93 <option>--input filein</option></term>
95 <para>Run analysis on this audio file. Most common (uncompressed) formats are
100 <term><option>-o</option>
101 <option>--output fileout</option></term>
103 <para>Save results in this file. The file will be created on the model of the
104 input file. Results are marked by a very short wood-block sample.</para>
108 <term><option>-t</option>
109 <option>--threshold value</option></term>
111 <para>Set the threshold value for the onset peak picking. Typical values are within
112 <literal>0.001</literal> and <literal>0.900</literal>. Default is <literal>0.1</literal>. The <emphasis>lower</emphasis> the <emphasis>more
113 sensible</emphasis>. Try <literal>0.3</literal> in case of over-detections.</para>
117 <term><option>-O</option>
118 <option>--onset value</option></term>
121 <para>The onset detection function to run. Can be one of
122 <emphasis>complexdomain</emphasis>, <emphasis>hfc</emphasis>,
123 <emphasis>phase</emphasis>, <emphasis>specdiff</emphasis>,
124 <emphasis>energy</emphasis>. By default (<emphasis>fixme</emphasis>), both
125 complex domain and HFC are used in parallel.</para>
130 <term><option>-j</option>
131 <option>--jack</option></term>
133 <para>Run in jack mode (default when started without input file) and creates a midi output.</para>
137 <term><option>-h</option>
138 <option>--help</option></term>
140 <para>Show summary of options.</para>
144 <term><option>-v</option>
145 <option>--verbose</option></term>
147 <para>Show results on the console.</para>

157 <para><emphasis>aubioonset</emphasis> (1)</para>
164 <para>For now the program has been only tested on audio signals sampled at 44.1
165 kHz. The pitch detectors are also way too cpu-intensive.</para>
