libsoni: A Python Toolbox for Sonifying Music Annotations and Feature Representations

libsoni is an open-source Python toolbox tailored for the sonification of music annotations and feature representations. By employing explicit and easy-to-understand sound synthesis techniques, the toolbox offers functionalities for generating and triggering sound events, enabling the sonification of spectral, harmonic, tonal, melodic, and rhythmic aspects. Unlike existing software libraries focused on creative applications of sound generation, the toolbox is designed to meet the specific needs of MIR researchers and educators. It aims to simplify the process of music exploration, promoting a more intuitive and efficient approach to data analysis by enabling users to interact with their data in acoustically meaningful ways.
