[PD] get sinusoid from a sine and a cosine oscillator

[Alexandros Drymonitis]

Yeah, well I'm trying to create shapes in Gem (say a circle) and create the
sound they make. So, to make a circle, I'm making a ramp from 0 to 1,
multiply it by 2pi and send it to [cos] and [sin] and store these values in
two tables, which I then read for every instance of a [circle] (using
[repeat] and [separator]). So, since for any shape, you need two
coordinates, x and y, my thought was to use these two coordinates as the
real and imaginary part of an FFT, merging the two dimensions in one.
After the sinusoid, I'll try to make other shapes too, but I wanted to
start from that to make sure that I hear exactly what I see.
