VAMP-SIMPLE-HOST(1)

💖 VAMP-SIMPLE-HOST(1) 💖

okay bestie, so like — this is the manual page for vamp-simple-host, a simple Vamp plugin host, living its best life in section 1 of the General Commands Manual. no cap, it's giving "tiny tool, big energy." 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

vamp-simple-host — a simple Vamp plugin host 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vamp-simple-host [-s]  [pluginlibrary[.so]:plugin[:output]]  [file]  [-o outfile]

vamp-simple-host [-s]  [pluginlibrary[.so]:plugin]  [file]  [[outputno]]  [-o outfile]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This manual page documents vamp-simple-host briefly. (briefly!! it said briefly, we're being chill about it 🫶)

vamp-simple-host lets you process a libsndfile-readable audio file using Vamp plugins — and also list the available plugins and the plugin search path. multitasking queen. 👑

By default, vamp-simple-host loads plugin id plugin from pluginlibrary and runs it on the audio data in file, retrieving the named output, or output number outputno (the first output by default) and dumping it to standard output, or to outfile if the -o option is given. literally just vibes in, results out. ✨

pluginlibrary should be a library name, not a file path — the standard Vamp library search path will be used to locate it. If a file path is supplied, the directory part(s) will be ignored. 💀 so don't come with a path and expect it to matter, bestie.

If the -s option is given, results will be labelled with the audio sample frame at which they occur. Otherwise, they'll be labelled with time in seconds. pick your labeling era. ⭐
