So, I've been working on my master thesis with Pure Data, in particular with the bonk~ object, to detect beats produced by touches on touch screens.
The problem is that when the gesture is more complex (a slap or a punch for example) bonk~ detects 3 or more different sounds, which doesn't help me distinguish the sounds these gestures make.

How can I modify bonk~ (maybe changing the arguments it receives) to only recognize one of these gestures (in a way, I want to reduce bonk~ sensitivity to sound).

Thanks in advance!

There's an alternative to bonk~ called bark~:
