// usage (loads twilight-source.aiff by default):
//        chuck twilight-granular-kb
// usage (with argument):
//        chuck twilight-granular-kb:SOUND.WAV

// keyboard control (also see kb() below):
//       UP/DOWN -- grain position
//       LEFT/DOWN -- grain rate / tuning
//       ','/'.' -- grain size
