Implemented authentic TR-808 and TR-909 drum synthesis features based on the provided DSP research. Key improvements include 15-bit LFSR noise for the 909 Snare, cent-based pitch drift for all models, and a two-stage amplitude envelope for the 808 Kick. Default patterns were also refined for a better out-of-the-box techno experience.

This commit enhances the drum synthesis engine based on deep DSP research:
- Implemented 15-bit LFSR pseudo-random noise for TR-909 Snare authenticity.
- Refactored pitch drift to use cents (logarithmic) for realistic analog deviation.
- Added two-stage amplitude envelope to TR-808 Kick to simulate diode damping.
- Optimized default Euclidean patterns for a better techno foundation.
- Ensured robust node disposal and defensive scheduling for Web Audio stability.

P2 Badge Preserve hertz-based callers of applyPitchDrift

This helper still has callers outside this diff that pass a drift range in Hz, for example TR808HiHat calls applyPitchDrift(..., 2.0) with a +/- 2Hz comment and TR808Cowbell passes the same value. After changing the second parameter to cents, those unchanged instruments now get only ±2 cents of drift instead of the intended hertz detune, so hats/cowbell lose much of their analog variation whenever they trigger. Please either keep a Hz-based helper for existing call sites or update every caller to the new unit.

P2 Badge Keep the default snare on the backbeat

Because SequencerLoop builds the pattern with bjorklund(steps, pulses) and then applies rotate, this 16/4 snare default produces hits at steps 0, 4, 8, and 12; rotating by 4 leaves the four-on-the-floor spacing unchanged. New sessions and MIDI exports therefore place snares on beats 1 and 3 in addition to beats 2 and 4, despite the Standard backbeat comment and the previous 16/2 default yielding only steps 4 and 12.
