/**
 * Forward FFT
 * by Damien Di Fede.
 *  
 * This sketch demonstrates how to use an FFT to analyze an AudioBuffer 
 * and draw the resulting spectrum. It also allows you to turn windowing 
 * on and off, but you will see there is not much difference in the spectrum.
 * Press 'w' to turn on windowing, press 'e' to turn it off.
