[chuck-users] chuck neophyte trying to remove clicks via Envelope patch

[Andrew C. Smith]

Ryan (& Kas?),

You're just making swells, right? In that case, the only change should
be that you need to provide ramp-down time of e.duration() => now.
Also, make sure you scale the gain so that you keep the overall power
of the signal below 1.0.

One other thing, though, is that you don't need to reconnect the e =>
dac every time--just do this (with my personal favorite trick, the
array of SinOscs)

SinOsc s[4];
Envelope e => Gain g => dac;
1.0 / s.size() => g.gain; // scales gain to 0.25 for 4 SinOscs.

for (int i; i < s.size(); i++) {
  s[i] => e;
}

Makes it easy to change the gains, too, with

for (int i; i < s.size(); i ++) {
  Std.rand2f(0, 1) => s[i].gain;
}

and then once you expand from 4 to 100 SinOscs you'll only have to
change the one line of code.
