NAME

       aubioonset — a command line tool for real time onset extraction

SYNOPSIS

       aubioonset [options] [-i soundfile]

DESCRIPTION

       aubioonset  attempts  to detect onset times, the beginning of discreted
       sound events, in audio signals.

       When started without  an  input  file  argument  (--input),  aubioonset
       creates  jack  input and output ports. 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.

       -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.
