[PD] Beat Detection and Bonk~

[julien.breval at tremplin-utc.net]

Hello Fares

I didn't experiment much with beat detection ; 

bonk~ is very well suited to short-duration/fast decay and fast attack sounds, 
such as african percussions, snare drums, etc

When the attack is not sharp enough, or when there is another sound behind the 
attack (like a constant pad, for example), it may not work because there is no 
clear attack in the global signal (the pad creates a mask that hides the 
attack, for example)

One idea (though I never tried this) : use bonk~ and threshold~ together, in 
order to have more parameters for deciding if there is a new attack or not.
