GravityGrid dynamical system simulation (Newtonian gravitational force)

GravityGrid.ar(reset, rate, newx, newy, bufnum, mul, add)

Eight fixed masses around a boundary apply Newtonian gravitational force dynamics to a central moving mass which cannot escape the [-1, 1] grid in x or y. The position of the moving mass is sonified as an oscillator by its distance from the centre.   

This is a relatively expensive oscillator to run. 

reset- Restart the moving mass at a random position within the square (k-rate input)

rate- amount of position update per sample (k-rate)

newx- kr input to be sampled for new x positions for the moving mass on reset

newy- kr input to be sampled for new y positions for the moving mass on reset

bufnum- Bufnum for a buffer containing weights for the different outer masses indexed as 0-3 and 5-8 and central moving mass 4. Passing -1 means that the weights are not used (are flat). 

Note: This original GravityGrid contains an erroneous folding function, and gravity which is more attractive as the distance increases! Which however, adds interesting distortions to the sound. See GravityGrid2 for a cleaned up version. This one is retained for backwards compatibility. 

//GravityGrid comes out with some interesting noisy sounds- WARNING, loud, aliasing! You'll probably want to filter the outputs, maybe with RLPF, Slew et al.
