17
18       pitch  extract fundamental frequency
19
20       beat   get locations of beats
21
22       tempo  get overall tempo in bpm

24       notes  get midi-like notes
25
26       mfcc   extract mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients
27
28       melbands
29              extract mel-frequency energies per band

31       For a list of available commands, use "aubio -h". For more  info  about
32       each command, use "aubio <command> --help".

EXAMPLES

143       Extract onsets using a minimum inter-onset interval of 30ms:
144
145           aubio onset /path/to/input_file -M 30ms
146
147       Extract pitch with method "mcomb" and a silence threshold of -90dB:
148
149           aubio pitch /path/to/input_file -m mcomb -s -90.0
150
