fyi bonk~ has also this switch on, learn, and play feature, and has been used for many musical pieces with complex setups. So you might also want to consider using bonk for your projects.

Look here:
http://crca.ucsd.edu/~tapel/software.html
there is also a version for Pure Data.

Since the idea is not new at all, and many people have developped similar software, that would be nice to know how billaboop compares to other (older) similar projects.

Any ideas?

@des:
You are more than right, I should mention Koen’s KTDrumtrigger and Miller Puckette’s
bonk on the website (actually I used to mention them in the old website). I’ll restore the link page ASAP!

However, BillaBoop comes with new features that make the usage much easier :-) “Switch on, learn, play”

Wow, that’s really close to Koen’s demo of his KTDrumTrigger plugin (at the bottom of the page.) Was Koen on Amaury’s thank-you list too?

This is a good step to what I need.

I just wanna scream at my computer: “Ya gotta have da bass ta pimp dat cash money ghetto shit.” and have a hit pop out. Then I’ll say “Select boyband from Myspace to perform hit” and “Deposit money in St. Kitts account”.

Make a song by speaking into a mic: “Dhin - Dhin - Dha Ge, TeRe KeTe Tun - Na -, Kat - Ta - Dha Ge, TeRe KeTe Dhin - Na - Motherfu*ker ya ya New York Style” and it should make a ‘bing’ sound when your song is baked.

Ah, music tech, your growing power leaves me lonelier everyday. Now I really don’t need a drummer!

I kid. This is really great, I am tiring of 4 bar loops and random Autechre beats. Now to apply the machine learning so it responds to another melodic instrument, and I can jam to my heart’s content.

Those Barcelonians are hardcore, take a look at the rest of their shenanigans:
