--> Hi. My name is Amaury Hazan. I'd like to introduce the drum controller I have developped.

BillaBoop is a real-time audio driven drum controller which allows the user to control up to 3 drum instruments. The user can control any drum synth with the voice (beat box), or any object or musical instrument

Unlike other audio-driven systems wich require a lot of parameter tuning to be able to discriminate the sounds you are playing, BillaBoop incorporates an efficient Machine Learning component which enables the system to learn by demonstration. In a few seconds you show the system what are the sounds you aim to use and you can start using them

BillaBoop has been developed as a spare-time project by Amaury Hazan, who is a french PhD student in Machine Learning, Music Cognition and Audio Signal Processing at Music Technology Group, a department of Pompeu Fabra University, Spain.

I wasn't interested until I found out you had taken the logical step of adding a simple 'listen' mode for parameter tuning. I have used plugs that do this, but they took forever to tune. Will this output MIDI as well as control any onboard sounds?
