NAME

       aubiopitch — a command line tool to extract pitch candidates from sound
       files.

SYNOPSIS

       aubiopitch [options] -i soundfile

DESCRIPTION

       aubiopitch attempts to extract fundamental frequency  in  sound  files.
       When  no  pitch  candidate  is found, the output is 0. Five fundamental
       frequency extraction methods are available. Results can be  printed  in
       Hertz or in MIDI pitch.

       A plotting module is available via the Gnuplot Python package.

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
                 input sound file

       -m   --mode pitch_detection_mode
                 pitch detection mode [default=mcomb] mcomb|yin|fcomb|schmitt

       -u   --units unitmode
                 output pitch in units [default=Hz] freq|midi|cent|bin

       -B   --bufsize=BUFSIZE
                 buffer size [default=1024]

       -H   --hopsize=HOPSIZE
                 overlap size [default=512]

       -t   --threshold=THRESHOLD
                 pitch threshold (for yin) [default=0.1]

       -s   --silence=SILENCE
                 silence threshold [default=-70]

       -D   --delay=DELAY
                 number of seconds to take back [default=0]

       -S   --smoothing=frames
                 temporal   smoothing  using  a  median  filter  of  N  frames
                 [default=0]

       -M   --pitchmax=max
                 maximum pitch values to look for (Hz) [default=20000]

       -l   --pitchmin=min
                 minimum pitch values to look for (Hz) [default=20]

       -n   --note
                 NOT IMPLEMENTED output notes

       -q   --quiet
                 be quiet

       -h   --help
                 Show a summary of options.

       -v   --verbose
                 make lots of noise [default]

   Plotting options
       When the Python  interface  to  Gnuplot  is  installed,  the  following
       additional options are available.

       -p   --plot
                 draw plot of the pitch track

       -T   --plottruth
                 draw plot of the ground truth pitch track

       -x   --xsize=SIZE
                 define horizontal plot size [default=1.]

       -y   --ysize=SIZE
                 define vertical plot size [default=1.]

       -O   --outplot=OUTPLOT
                 save plot to output.{ps,eps,png,svg} instead of displaying it

BUGS

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