Marsyas

Music Analysis, Retrieval and Synthesis for Audio Signals

Marsyas is a software framework for rapid prototyping and experimentation with audio analysis and synthesis with specific emphasis to music signals and Music Information Retrieval. The basic goal is to provide a general, extensible and flexible architecture that allows easy experimentation with algorithms and provides fast performance that is useful in developing real time audio analysis and synthesis tools.

A variety of existing building blocks that form the basis of most published algorithms in Computer Audition are already available as part of the framework and extending the framework with new components/building blocks is straightforward.
