[CM] define an instrument?

[taube at uiuc.edu]

you also need to observe the syntax of definstument. you must
supply an parameter list even if its a null list:
(definstrument rr ()
  (run (loop ...)))

the () is null parameter list -- that list is not the same as
no parameter list as all, as your example.
