`is the method println() to print a new line deprecated? `
because it is still being used in p5.js-sound sketches and it throws an error saying prinln is not defined!!!
i am using
p5.js version 0.6.1
p5.js-sound version 0.3.12

`console.log()`, but p5.js also has the `print()` method.

Where --is this in the examples, or on the website…? Worth reporting as an issue to fix on the p5.js GitHub issues.
