[PD] phasor~ and osc~ right inlet: exact timing

[Mike Moser-Booth]

Hey guys,

Thank you very much for checking this out. I'm glad you guys like.

Frank, I was looking at your comparison patch and noticed you took the 
[+~ 2] out. The reason I put this in is because [wrap~] converts 0 to 1, 
so if you reset the phase to 0 you'll end up starting at the end instead 
of the beginning. And I did [+~ 2] instead of [+~ 1] because thought I 
read somewhere that [phasor~] actually goes all the way up to 1 instead 
of just before it. I don't know if that's actually true or not, though, 
but I figured adding 2 is easier than looking at the source. ;-)

Thanks again,
.mmb
