Toot 12: Tables & Labels

This is by far our most complex instrument. In it we have designed the ability to store pitches in a table, and then index them in three different ways: 1) directly, 2) via an lfo, and 3) randomly. As a means of switching between these three methods, we will use Csound's program control statements and logical and conditional operations.
