Robbert van der Helm 68cf0455ee Rework and optimize block smoothing API
You now need to bring your own buffer instead of the smoother having a
built in vector you would need to pre-allocate. This makes the API
simpler, and also much more flexible when doing polyphonic modulation.

In addition, the new API is much more efficient when there is no
smoothing going on anymore.
