I’m not too much into drums but some of you may find this interesting. The creator is a French PhD student and he sent me an email about it.
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.
