Goals

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 some of these tasks. Some other important tasks follow:

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

Please share your wishes, ideas, and experiences with aubio and related tools!
