[chuck-users] Why is my code doing this?

[Joel Matthys]

Hey Forrest.

I messed around for a long time with your code before it finally struck me:
You connected your AdditivePartials to the dac too soon!
In your code you connect this=>dac when the AdditivePartials are instantiated, but you don't set gain and freq until you spork~ play.
So when you pass the first 0.5::second => now, Additive b is sounding at full gain on default settings.
If you move this => dac from the init function to the top of the play function, all is well. You should probably add this =< dac at the end of your play function too.
