[PD] Cycle~ difference with Max5. Was: Update cyclone maintenance

about the help file, you have in your new versions, regarding the phase
input, the message: "- drive by phase only (frequency is 0)"

This is wrong. Maybe you copied from the max documentation example where in
fact phase was driven by phasor and it had a frequency of zero, but in
practice, you can alter the phase any way you want with any frequency
input, just like the test examples you sent me!

So I'd just specify that the second inlet is for "phase input".

maybe you could insert an example for phase modulation. Because one
advantage of cycle~ is enabling easy access to phase for phase modulation.
See my attaches patch.

cheers
