Tipic - Tibre-Invariant Pitch Chroma
====================================
A Vamp plugin (and accompanying C++ library) implementing pitch-chroma
audio features approaching timbre invariance, after the paper "Towards
timbre-invariant audio features for harmony-based music" by Meinard
Müller and Sebastian Ewert.
https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/tipic
This plugin is intended to provide features extracted from a music
audio signal, containing a reduction of the pitch and harmonic content
of the audio which is relatively stable in the presence of timbral
differences and local variations such as vibrato.
See the Chroma Toolbox,
http://resources.mpi-inf.mpg.de/MIR/chromatoolbox/
for the original MATLAB implementations of these methods.
Dependency
----------
This code depends on the qm-dsp library:
https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/qm-dsp
If you have cloned this code from the Mercurial repository hosted at
SoundSoftware, you should have got qm-dsp as well as a subdirectory
(it's listed as a Mercurial subrepository).
