Start time must be strictly greater

[handeyeco]

Describe the bug

ToneJS keeps crashing:

Uncaught Error: Start time must be strictly greater than previous start time

When I log, Tone.now() is the same thing even when 30+ milliseconds have passed.

To Reproduce

This example crashes for me intermittently (code below): https://glitch.com/edit/#!/married-lean-castanet?path=src%2Fapp.jsx%3A59%3A8

Seems to be most consistent after doing a full page refresh. It also seems to be more of a problem that faster I run through the graph.

Expected behavior
ToneJS shouldn't crash, it should just keep on truckin'. It also shouldn't have the same value when running Tone.now() several milliseconds apart, but I could be wrong about that.

What I've tried
I have a workaround:

      try {
        const y = yFromX(playheadPosition);
        const freq = map(y, -10, 10, 200, 1000);
        synth.triggerAttackRelease(freq, 0.1);
      } catch (err) {}

Just drop the error and keep going.
