You can't get it more trivial.

First, the (very very trivial) algorithm I posted does *not* do that: by itself 
it represents a sine wave, not an arbitrary wave form.

And second I'm not about to write Fourier transform code to satisfy someone who 
refuses to do a milligram of thinking.

The Fourier part stuff needed to do what you're requesting is non-trivial, or at 
least it's some work to write the code.

I don't believe any of what you write here.
