[sdiy] Vibrato range

Just miss out some of the values if you want to sweep across the same pitch 
range quicker.  Or can you really perceive 1000 discrete pitches every 
second!?!?   ...even when the oscillator pitch is probably less than 1kHz 
for a large portion of the sweep :-O

Because it takes 15 seconds to do that sweep with those 2^14 pitchbend
messages. Even more if you want to do something else while waiting.

MIDI is slow and limited in temporal sense, not always in precision. :-)
