v1.2.1: Bow/Prox Tools, Native Audio, Loop Display — EXA: The Infinite Instrument Steam update #1414974

You can now fade, swell, and sustain notes with the new “bow” and “prox” playing tools. The bow tool behaves a bit like a violin bow, making sounds as it passes (at various speeds) through a ringer. The prox tool uses its distance from a ringer to control the sound’s volume. Both new tools support an alternative mode by squeezing the trigger. These new tools immediately expand the available EXA playing styles beyond the percussive approach of the “strike” tool. Behind the scenes, EXA has a new audio system to support these new tools and improve audio performance. This system bypasses Unity audio, talking directly to the OS instead, which fixes the “popping/cracking” audio issue. The structure of this new system should also make future features (like MIDI support and audio effects) easier to introduce. In the loop display, the old “triangle” shapes are now replaced with a “waveform” style...
