/**
 * This sketch demonstrates very simply how you might use the inverse FFT to modify an audio signal.<br />
 * Press 'f' to perform the forward FFT, then press 's' to scale the large frequency band.<br />
 * Now press 'd' to take the inverse FFT. You will see that the wave form has a smaller amplitude.<br />
 * <br />
 * You might wonder how we knew which band to scale. You should read 
 * <a href="http://code.compartmental.net/2007/03/21/fft-averages/">this blog post</a> about calculating 
 * FFT averages for the answer to that question.

Description Scales the amplitude of the ith frequency band by s. You can use this to shape the spectrum before using inverse().
