Add special shapes for space lasers
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No, it's just a visual idea I had, I don't know if the lasers for the square/saw wave are intentional for these instruments if they are they gave me this idea for the square/saw lead instruments
Describe the solution you'd like
Change both the saw wave and square wave lasers to each shoot their visual waves instead of a straight line
Well, you know what they say "a picture is worth a thousand words" so I just photoshopped it: Here are some square waves examples:
and 1 for the saw wave (the wave should be smaller to look better, but you get the point):
Describe alternatives you've considered
In case you implement this and If you REALLY want to upgrade this feature then you could make the wave get smaller or bigger depending on the current semitone/pitch, so basically like having a vertical oscilloscope, it definetely would look pretty cool, it would look kinda like (a simpler version of) one of these 3 channels vertically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgPEaI0GHBI
Not a bad idea! I'll experiment with this.
I think displaying the Synth Square Wave & Synth Sawtooth Wave as both Shooting Lasers & Keyboards working together would be the coolest enhancement of all so you can see the instrument from even more angles.
I'm excited to see this in the next update. In the meanwhile maybe a Test version could help me get started.
I think in the interest of keeping the current style (I haven't touched the space lasers in over two years now), I am hesitant to change their appearance. I suspect this might not be well received by the community.
