[PD] maximum of Oscillators

[pix]

*advertises*

nqpoly is available at http://pix.test.at/pd/nqpoly/

it's an abstraction that helps instantiating lots of copies of other
abstractions.

clone is an external that does a similar thing, and is available at
http://www.akustische-kunst.de/puredata/clone/
