10-arithmetic-ops.py - Using arithmetic with event generators.

Arithmetic operators can be used with EventGenerator objects to control their behaviour (and change the pattern of the sequence of values).

Available operators are:

+ : addition

- : substraction

* : multiplication

/ : division

**: exponent

% : modulo (remaining of the division)

//: quantizer (returns te nearest multiple of its argument)

Arithmetic can be done with event generators as both operand and operator.
