13DESCRIPTION
14
15  aubioonset attempts to detect onset times, the beginning of discrete sound
16  events, in audio signals.
17
18  When started with an input source (-i/--input), the detected onset times are
19  given on the console, in seconds.
20
21  When started without an input source, or with the jack option (-j/--jack),
22  aubioonset starts in jack mode.
23
24OPTIONS
25
26  This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
27  starting with two dashes (--). A summary of options is included below.
28
29  -i, --input source  Run analysis on this audio file. Most uncompressed and
30  compressed are supported, depending on how aubio was built.
31
32  -o, --output sink  Save results in this file. The file will be created on
33  the model of the input file. Onset times are marked by a short wood-block
34  like sound.
35
36  -r, --samplerate rate  Fetch the input source, resampled at the given
37  sampling rate. The rate should be specified in Hertz as an integer. If 0,
38  the sampling rate of the original source will be used. Defaults to 0.
39
40  -B, --bufsize win  The size of the buffer to analyze, that is the length
41  of the window used for spectral and temporal computations. Defaults to 512.
42
43  -H, --hopsize hop  The number of samples between two consecutive analysis.
44  Defaults to 256.
45
46  -O, --onset method  The onset detection method to use. See ONSET METHODS
47  below. Defaults to 'default'.
48
49  -t, --onset-threshold thres  Set the threshold value for the onset peak
50  picking. Typical values are typically within 0.001 and 0.900. Defaults to
51  0.1. Lower threshold values imply more onsets detected. Try 0.5 in case of
52  over-detections. Defaults to 0.3.
53
54  -s, --silence sil  Set the silence threshold, in dB, under which the pitch
55  will not be detected. A value of -20.0 would eliminate most onsets but the
56  loudest ones. A value of -90.0 would select all onsets. Defaults to -90.0.
57
58  -m, --mix-input  Mix source signal to the output signal before writing to
59  sink.
60
61  -j, --jack  Use Jack input/output. You will need a Jack connection
62  controller to feed aubio some signal and listen to its output.
63
64  -h, --help  Print a short help message and exit.
65
66  -v, --verbose  Be verbose.
67
68ONSET METHODS
69
70  Available methods are:
71
72  default  Default distance, currently hfc
73
74  Default: 'default' (currently set to hfc)
75
76  energy  Energy based distance
77
78  This function calculates the local energy of the input spectral frame.
79
80  hfc  High-Frequency content
81
82  This method computes the High Frequency Content (HFC) of the input
83  spectral frame. The resulting function is efficient at detecting
84  percussive onsets.

88
89  complex  Complex domain onset detection function
90
91  This function uses information both in frequency and in phase to determine
92  changes in the spectral content that might correspond to musical onsets.
93  It is best suited for complex signals such as polyphonic recordings.

101  This function uses information both in frequency and in phase to determine
102  changes in the spectral content that might correspond to musical onsets. It
