Hi all, many of you may have already played with earlier versions of
this, but for those that haven't:

We've officially released Analyze, the first of our APIs. This is a
musical feature extraction service for research applications, music
visualization, real-time music games and music synthesis/remix tools.

The extracted features are packed in an XML file and include segment
synchronous timbre, pitch, envelope and energy data along with tatum/
beat information. It's free to use for research/noncommercial
applications and we'd love to see what you all come up with. Sign up
to access it now and also for an early look at the next suite (which
will be search/text focused)
