Another Cello

Cello but without the reverb trick, instead multiple saw waves.

// inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aktb_dmY4vk
// essentially, pass a bandpassed saw wave with vibrato and a bit of noise into a short reverb
// 
// It is possible to not do the reverb, as the diffusion it does that creates the sound
// is essentially a number of parallel delays. A chorus of saw waves with random phases
// gives the same effect.

// bit slower, original is 210
