Example

/**
  This is an example of using a Multiplier UGen, which performs the very simple operation of 
  multiplying the incoming signal by the current value of its amplitude input.
  <p>
  Move the mouse left and right to change the value of the Multiplier. 
  All the way left is 0.1 and all the way right is 1.
