/**
  * An FFT object is used to convert an audio signal into its frequency domain representation. This representation
  * lets you see how much of each frequency is contained in an audio signal. Sometimes you might not want to 
  * work with the entire spectrum, so it's possible to have the FFT object calculate average frequency bands by 
  * simply averaging the values of adjacent frequency bands in the full spectrum. There are two different ways 
  * these can be calculated: <b>Linearly</b>, by grouping equal numbers of adjacent frequency bands, or 
  * <b>Logarithmically</b>, by grouping frequency bands by <i>octave</i>, which is more akin to how humans hear sound.
  * <br/>
  * This sketch illustrates the difference between viewing the full spectrum, linearly spaced averaged bands, 
  * and logarithmically spaced averaged bands.
  * <p>
  * From top to bottom:
  * <ul>
  *  <li>The full spectrum.</li>
  *  <li>The spectrum grouped into 30 linearly spaced averages.</li>
  *  <li>The spectrum grouped logarithmically into 10 octaves, each split into 3 bands.</li>
  * </ul>
  *
  * Moving the mouse across the sketch will highlight a band in each spectrum and display what the center 
  * frequency of that band is. The averaged bands are drawn so that they line up with full spectrum bands they 
  * are averages of. In this way, you can clearly see how logarithmic averages differ from linear averages.
