[PlanetCCRMA] slime-sbcl dependency broken

[Juan Reyes]

Hi Niels


I support all of Fernando's comments. Just haven't been able to find
similar features in other tools.

I don't mind the real-time issue because if worse comes to worse, there
are thousands of soundfile player applications, loopers, and in many of
them you can do further real-time signal processing.

 I don't want to pretend I am too adventurous by asserting this point
but nevertheless this seems to be the kind of stuff we do in CLM.  I
remember following sort of like procedure to get natural and realistic
vibrato by changing lengths on delay-lines on models like the
plucked-string.

This is a nice thought!
