Fork Code: wavetable interpolation drone

(
/*
A lush drone using a waveshaping algorithm for interpolating between multiple wavetables. This code is based off of a similar code example by totalgee:

http://sccode.org/1-4V1

It was only after coding this example that I realized the UGens VOsc and VOsc3 are specifically designed for this wavetable interpolating/morphing function. But this code was still very fun to build.
