@section{description}

Klang is a bank of fixed frequency sine oscillators. Klang is more
efficient than creating individual oscillators but offers less
flexibility.


@section{classmethods}
 

@section{method}
 ar

@section{argument}
 specificationsArrayRef
A link::Classes/Ref:: to an link::Classes/Array:: of three Arrays:

@section{definitionlist}
 
## frequencies: || An Array of oscillator frequencies.
## amplitudes: || an Array of oscillator amplitudes, or nil. If nil, then amplitudes default to 1.0.
## phases: || an Array of initial phases, or nil. If nil, then phases default to 0.0.
::

@section{argument}
 freqscale
A scale factor multiplied by all frequencies at initialization time.

@section{argument}
 freqoffset
An offset added to all frequencies at initialization time.

@section{discussion}
 
The parameters in 
@racketblock[specificationsArrayRef:: can't be changed after it has been started.
For a modulatable but less efficient version, see link::Classes/DynKlang::.
