[Stk] Simple recurrent events in STK

[David Michael]

Thanks Gary

I think this may actually be a decent solution. The way I had dealt  
with this previously is to use a simple unit generator that was  
"ticked" off at sample rate along with everything else in the  
program. When the generator hit its peak value, it triggered a sample  
to be played. This method is efficient enough on x86 machines, but I  
think it is a really expensive operation for ARM processors with out  
floating point coprocessors. Just looking for alternatives for  
recurrent timed events.

Best
David
