How To Install vamp-examples on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install vamp-examples on Kali Linux.
What is vamp-examples
vamp-examples is:
Vamp is an audio processing plugin system for plugins that extract descriptive information from audio data - typically referred to as audio analysis plugins or audio feature extraction plugins.
This package contains the following example plugins:
Zero Crossings calculates the positions and density of zero-crossing points in an audio waveform.
Spectral Centroid calculates the centre of gravity of the frequency domain representation of each block of audio.
Simple Power Spectrum calculates a power spectrum from the input audio. Actually, it doesn’t do any work except calculating power from a cartesian complex FFT output. The work of calculating this frequency domain output is done for it by the host or host SDK; the plugin just needs to declare that it wants frequency domain input. This is the simplest of the example plugins.
Amplitude Follower is an implementation of SuperCollider’s amplitude-follower algorithm as a simple Vamp plugin.
Simple Percussion Onset Detector: estimates the locations of percussive onsets using a simple method described in “Drum Source Separation using Percussive Feature Detection and Spectral Modulation” by Dan Barry, Derry Fitzgerald, Eugene Coyle and Bob Lawlor, ISSC 2005.
Simple Fixed Tempo Estimator: calculates a single beats-per-minute value which is an estimate of the tempo of a piece of music that is assumed to be of fixed tempo, using autocorrelation of a frequency domain energy rise metric. It has several outputs that return intermediate results used in the calculation, and may be a useful example of a plugin having several outputs with varying feature structures.
Also included is a simple host that can enumerate plugins, list their features, and process an audio file as well as a utility to generate Vamp plugin RDF templates.
There are three methods to install vamp-examples on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install vamp-examples Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install vamp-examples using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install vamp-examplesInstall vamp-examples Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install vamp-examples using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install vamp-examplesInstall vamp-examples Using aptitude
If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.
sudo aptitude updateAfter updating apt database, We can install vamp-examples using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install vamp-examplesHow To Uninstall vamp-examples on Kali Linux
