oscbank~: for additive synthesis
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The oscbank external is an object for Miller Pucketter's PureData
("pd"). It was written in order to synthesize sinusoidal models that
consist of hundreds of partial sinewave components.  The external
takes three parameters for each partial: index(unique), frequency, and
amplitude. It then synthesizes the partial's information in a bank and
synthesizes it.  If the partial's frequency or amplitude are
modified (by providing another set with the same index), the
parameters are ramped to the new values.  

note: the oscbank~ external is published under the Gnu General Public License 
that is included (GnuGPL.txt). some parts of the code are taken directly 
from the pd source-code, they, of course, fall under the license pd is 
published under.

- The code has been sitting around for a while with a bunch of bugs,
  finally got around to fixing them all.  So here is the first version.
