A simple Web Audio sequencer function

sequence.js

// creates a Sequence for the given AudioContext, which changes the `param` of the `node` according to a specified `seq` array with a given `smoothness`
// Example of a `seq` array:
// [ [0, 440], [1, 220], [1.5, 330], [2, 440] ]
// English: set the value to 440 immediately, then to 220 after 1 second, then to 330 after 1.5 seconds, then return to 440 after 2 seconds
//
// returns an object containing 3 methods:
//
// - `playOnce` will perform the sequence once
// - `loop` will loop the sequence indefinitely
// - `stop` will stop looping the sequence
//
// Example usage:
//
// let mySequence = sequence(
//    context,
//    oscillator,
//    'frequency',
//    [ [0, 440], [1, 220], [1.5, 330], [2, 440] ],
//    0.2
// );
//
