[music-dsp] deterministic noise generation

[Alexis Glass]

Maybe you could (as Magnus Jonsson else suggested) divide things up by 
bins, but rather than limiting each bin to one sine wave within that 
bin, you could make sure that the contents of each  bin (roughly equal 
in size on a bark scale) are normalized to contain the same amount of 
energy.  I guess that probably wouldn't eliminate the perception of 
clustering or harmonicity, but it might counter it a bit.
