AUBIONOTES(1)

NAME
aubionotes — a command line tool for real time extraction of musical notes.

SYNOPSIS

aubionotes [options] [-i soundfile]

DESCRIPTION

aubionotes attempts to detect notes in audio signals, segmenting consecutive events using onset detection, and determining their pitch using a fundamental frequency extraction algorithm.

When started without an input file argument (--input), aubionotes creates a jack input and a MIDI output. When an input file is given, the results are given on the console.

OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

-i   --input filein
    Run analysis on this audio file. Most common uncompressed formats are supported.

-o   --output fileout
    Save results in this file. The file will be created on the model of the input file. Results are marked by a short wood-block sample.

-P   --pitch mode
    The pitch detection function to run. Available functions are yinfft, yin, mcomb, fcomb, and schmitt.

-O   --onset mode
    The onset detection function to run. Available functions are complexdomain, hfc, phase, specdiff, energy, kl and mkl. By default, both Kullback Liebler (kl) and complex domain are used in parallel.

-t   --threshold value
    Set the threshold value for the onset peak picking. Typical values are within 0.001 and 0.900. Default is 0.1. Lower threshold values imply more onsets detected. Try 0.3 in case of over-detections.

-j   --jack
    Run in jack mode (default when started without input file) and creates a midi output.

-v   --verbose
    Show results on the console (default).

-h   --help
    Show summary of options.

BUGS

For now the program has only been tested on audio signals sampled at 44.1 kHz.
