Wavetable normalize | Description Normalizes the Wavetable by finding the largest amplitude in the table and scaling the table by the inverse of that amount. The result is that the largest value in the table will now have an amplitude of 1 and everything else is scaled proportionally. Signature
    void normalize()
Returns None Related Wavetable Example
    /**
      * This sketch demonstrates many of the methods available for
      * modifying Wavetables. The controls are as follows:
      * <ul>
      *   <li>n: normalize the waveform</li>
      *   <li>s: smooth the waveform</li>
      *   <li>r: rectify the waveform</li>
      *   <li>z: add noise to the waveform</li>
      *   <li>q/a: scale the waveform up or down</li>
      *   <li>left click and drag: warp the waveform</li>
      *   <li>right click: flip the waveform around the y position of the mouse</li>
      * </ul>
      * The waveform shown in red is the Wavetable being used by the Oscil and
      * the moving waveform in white is what the output looks like.
