constant audio-rate signal
Tone.Signal is a core component which allows for synchronization of many components.
A single signal can drive multiple parameters by applying Scaling.
For example: to synchronize two Tone.Oscillators in octaves of each other,
Signal --> OscillatorA.frequency
^--> Tone.Multiply(2) --> OscillatorB.frequency
Tone.Signal can be scheduled with all of the functions available to AudioParams
