Vamp Plugins

Partiels uses the Vamp plugin technology, an audio processing plugin system developed at the Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary, University of London, to extract descriptive information from audio data.

Alongside Partiels, a wide range of analyses based on audio engines developed at IRCAM and elsewhere are ported to Vamp plugins.

Full bundle

Install all the plugins at once

The full bundle contains all the Partiels Vamp plugins in a single installer. This is the easiest way to get all the analyses available in Partiels.

macOS (.pkg)Windows (.exe)Linux (.zip)

See the download page to install Partiels and its plugins. The manuals of the plugins are also available.

Installation

The installers copy the plugins to the default Vamp folder of your system, where Partiels finds them at startup:

macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Vamp. Plugins that require a more recent version of macOS or an Apple Silicon processor are only offered when they are compatible with your Mac.
Windows: C:\Program Files\Vamp Plugins. The plugins can be uninstalled individually from the Windows settings.
Linux: $HOME/vamp. Run the Install.sh script of the archive (with the --all option to install all the plugins), and the Uninstall.sh script to remove them.

You can change the folders in which Partiels looks for plugins in the plugins settings.

Other plugins

Many other analysis plugins are listed on the Vamp plugins website. The plugins available on internet are also listed in the new track panel of Partiels, with a link to download them.
