    Sonic Visualiser contains advanced waveform and spectrogram viewers, as well as editors for many sorts of audio annotations. Besides visualisation, it can make and play selections based on the locations of automatically detected

    Sonic Visualiser supports the Vamp plugin API for plugins that extract descriptive or analytical data from audio. Vamp plugins for onset, pitch and note detection, tempo tracking, chromagram analysis, constant-Q spectrogram, spectral centroid, power curve, key estimation, tonal change detection, harmonic spectrogram, structural segmentation, timbral similarity, audio alignment calculation and a large number of low-level spectral features are available. There is also a comprehensive SDK for use by developers of Vamp plugins and hosts. For more information about Vamp plugins, please see:
