The first time I saw it, I thought about playing a drumkit and whistling a bassline at the same time, with someone else on guitar and vocals, making a full rock sound with two people. But then I was too lazy to try it.

Very cool idea. It would be nice if you could enable your camera and then control mod/pitch with head up/down left/right motions.

Sounds a bit like imitone https://imitone.com/ (I have no affiliation)

FYI, Imitone has a patent, I don't know what it covers or claims though.

This is something I think about making every time I sit in front of my PC - thank you and I look forward to trying it!

How feasible would it be to add MIDI out support to this?

I often find my improvised melodies are more interesting when I whistle them, so this would be a handy feature.

It seems like it will be fun but my headphones just come in under the activation threshold, but I can't see a way to add some input gain
