@section{description}
SplayAz spreads an array of channels across a ring of channels.
Optional spread and center controls, and equal power levelCompensation.
numChans and orientation are as in link::Classes/PanAz::.
@racketblock[
{ SplayAz.ar(5, [SinOsc.ar, Saw.ar], 0, 1) }.plot;

]
@section{classmethods}
@section{method}
ar, kr
Each of the inputs is evenly spaced over a cyclic period of
2.0 in pos with 0.0 equal to channel zero and 2.0/numChans equal
to channel 1, 4.0/numChans equal to channel 2, etc.
The distance between the input signals in the output range is determined by the spread argument.
@section{argument}
numChans
Number of output channels of the UGen
@section{argument}
inArray
Input signals (can be a single UGen or an array)
@section{argument}
spread
How far the input signals are apart in the output. If zero, everything is mixed on center position (see below).
@racketblock[
{ SplayAz.ar(6, [SinOsc.ar, Saw.ar(800)], spread: MouseX.kr(0, 1).poll) * 0.3 }.scope;
::
]
@section{argument}
level
Scaling for all signals
@section{argument}
width
Over how much of the channels each signal is distributed.
@section{argument}
center
Which of the channels will be the first channel
@section{argument}
orientation
Should be zero if the front is a vertex of the polygon. The first
speaker will be directly in front. Should be 0.5 if the front
bisects a side of the polygon. Then the first speaker will be the
one left of center.
@section{argument}
levelComp
If true, the signal level is adjusted to maintain overall loudness the same (n.reciprocal.sqrt).
@section{method}
arFill
@section{argument}
numChans
Number of output channels
@section{argument}
n
Number of input channels
@section{argument}
function
A function that returns a UGen (the channel index is passed as an argument)
