/**
 * 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 set one of the frequency bands to 150.<br />
 * Now press 'd' to take the inverse FFT. You will see that the wave form now looks like two sine waves that have
 * been added together. In fact, this is exactly the case. The sine wave that has been added has the 
 * same frequency as the frequency band that we artificially changed the value of.<br />
 * <br />
 * You might wonder what the actual frequency added to the spectrum is.
 * That frequency is a fraction of the sampling rate, which can be found with the formula <b>f = i/N</b>
 * where <b>f</b> is the fraction of the sampling rate, <b>i</b> is the index of the frequency band, 
 * and <b>N</b> is the time-domain size of the FFT. In this case we have a 512 point FFT and we are 
 * changing the frequency band at index 20. So in our case <b>f = 20/512 = 0.0390625</b>
 * Our sampling rate is 44100 Hz, a value passed in the Sine constructor,
 * so the frequency in Hz that is being added to the spectrum is <b>44100 * 0.0390625 = 1722.65625 Hz</b>
