[transmute pitch] add min_note_len

 params: 
 - `passthrough`: how much of the original audio to be let through
+- `min note length`: how many beats a note will last  
 
 latency should be close to 1024 samples, which is around 20ms at 48k i think. the pitch detection is not excellent and it's monophonic, so if you have a noisy input or a bunch of notes at the same time, it's anyone's guess what the detected note will be. there's also no pitch bending or anything fancy like that, so it'll jump around notes even if the input has portamento
 
 aside from that, it works well enough on my quick tests
 
-you can use it to play synths using other instruments, like a guitar, or by whistling! it's quite fun

+`min note length` controls the note length, so if you see that the detected note jumps around a bunch, you can raise this so the notes last longer, and it'll be a bit smoother
