/*
Test instructions:
- Set up an Ableton drum rack with a single drum sample on
  the midi note specified in line 9.
- On line 11, select the virtual MIDI device/port name that
  you'll use to communicate with Ableton
- Click into the outermost parenthesis and hit CTRL-Enter to run the script
  (Might have to double check the hot-key to Evaluate the file
- Go to Langage > Reboot Interpreter to stop the file
- Test with BPMs in the 100-400 range - should get pretty clean tones
