Of course, macros are only an option if the number of oscillators
is constant (otherwise you would need the dynamic instantiation
of oscillators that is possible with user defined opcodes and
subinstruments). The example below is uglier than the previous one,
but is faster.

sr	=  48000
ksmps	=  32
nchnls	=  1

#define OSCIL1 #

atmp	oscils 1000, rnd(1000) + 100, 0
	vincr aout, atmp
