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

[Charles Z Henry]

You  don't want fft~/ rifft~ for that.  It's a mapping between large
structures on blocks and single-samples (and vice-versa).

To get a single sinusoid from a path-defined circle, you just project onto
a single dimension.  For example, (x,y)->x  or (x,y)->y  or (x,y)->
(sqrt(3)/2*x+1/2*y).  In the case of a circle, all the axes you would draw
through the circle work equally well.
