This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (--).
A summary of options is included below.
-i,--inputsource
Run analysis on this audio file. Most uncompressed and compressed are supported, depending on how
aubio was built.
-r,--sampleraterate
Fetch the input source, resampled at the given sampling rate. The rate should be specified in
Hertz as an integer. If 0, the sampling rate of the original source will be used. Defaults to 0.
-B,--bufsizewin
The size of the buffer to analyze, that is the length of the window used for spectral and temporal
computations. Defaults to 512.
-H,--hopsizehop
The number of samples between two consecutive analysis. Defaults to 256.
-O,--onsetmethod
The onset detection method to use. See ONSET METHODS below. Defaults to 'default'.
-t,--onset-thresholdthres
Set the threshold value for the onset peak picking. Typical values are typically within 0.001 and
0.900. Defaults to 0.1. Lower threshold values imply more onsets detected. Try 0.5 in case of
over-detections. Defaults to 0.3.
-M,--minioivalue
Set the minimum inter-onset interval, in seconds, the shortest interval between two consecutive
notes. Defaults to 0.030
-p,--pitchmethod
The pitch detection method to use. See PITCH METHODS below. Defaults to 'default'.
-u,--pitch-unitunit
The unit to be used to print frequencies. Possible values include midi, bin, cent, and Hz.
Defaults to 'Hz'.
-l,--pitch-tolerancethres
Set the tolerance for the pitch detection algorithm. Typical values range between 0.2 and 0.9.
Pitch candidates found with a confidence less than this threshold will not be selected. The higher
the threshold, the more confidence in the candidates. Defaults to unset.
-s,--silencesil
Set the silence threshold, in dB, under which the pitch will not be detected. A value of -20.0
would eliminate most onsets but the loudest ones. A value of -90.0 would select all onsets.
Defaults to -90.0.
-d,--release-drop
Set the release drop threshold, in dB. If the level drops more than this amount since the last
note started, the note will be turned off. Defaults to 10.
-T,--timeformatformat
Set time format (samples, ms, seconds). Defaults to seconds.
-j,--jack
Use Jack input/output. You will need a Jack connection controller to feed aubio some signal and
listen to its output.
-h,--help
Print a short help message and exit.
-v,--verbose
Be verbose.
