The goals of the aubio is to provide a set of robust annotation methods for musical signals. The core library, written in C, is aimed at being lightweight, fast, and portable. Within this core, a large preference is given to causal or almost causal algorithms -- that is, able to run in real time, with a short input/output delay.

There are many tasks to address, and for now we have concentrated on [wiki:Features some of these tasks]. Some other important tasks follow:

 - multi pitch tracking
 - chord detection
 - analysis of percussion
 - instrument recognition
 - what not...
